Tiger9gamer Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 So, I was thinking about getting some IG to ally with my dark angels, and been thinking to use the Psy choir thing for De-Buffs. is that a sound tactic? like maybe hitting someone with Weaken Resolve before hitting them with psy-shriek? or generally using it to be a pain?

Kierdale Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It's not bad at all, however the downsides that I can see are: 1. The squishiness of a Psyker Battle Squad. 2. The fact that they can't use the power from with a vehicle, hence point 1. 3. The 12" range of Psychic Scream. If your Screamer is a marine then it's not as bad as having to get an equally squishy Primaris Pysker into 12" range. One good thing about the PSB is that only one of them need have LOS to the target to use Weaken Resolve. Keep the rest out of sight or behind something well armoured.

danthemanmac Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm not gonna lie - I have a sudden urge to model up a squad of Watchers in the Dark and proxy them as these guys...

Tiger9gamer Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Same here actually >u< but we can get to da modeling later. Can they be in a chimera and use powers?

librisrouge Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The problem is that Weaken Resolve isn't a witchfire, its a maladiction, so you can't use it from the inside of a Chimera. Now you should be able to throw down the blast template. I think that DA offers some other options though thanks to the +4 invul device and Azreal, plus the current run of fortifications. The biggest problem will always be that if this is an effective tactic then the enemy will just target the psykers before you can pull it off.

Tiger9gamer Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 ohhhhh okay. that kinda sucks actually :/ so what are my options with this? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275962-ig-psychic-choir-allies/#findComment-3380099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well, it depends on how aware your opponent is. If they know the capabilities of a PSB -and the effect of combining it with Psychic Scream- then you might be lucky to get to use the combo once a game, as your opponent will look to eliminate one or the other element quickly. If your opponent doesn't know much about those units then you might get to use it a couple of times...but next game they'll be ready. The PSB's other power is still relatively useful, so they can be worth using, just don't rely on the Weaken/Scream combo too much, IMO. Anyway, I'd love to see a squad modelled as Watchers!!

Tiger9gamer Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well, the psyker squad just seems all around useful with it's abilities too. The weaken can help models run off the board 1st turn, and it can be good with dominate mind and maybe fear ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275962-ig-psychic-choir-allies/#findComment-3380640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
