Destroyer Assault Squad

[MayorDaley]

Thanks for that, but what I guess I meant was what rules sets them apart.  Two bolt pistols sounds fairly underwhemling is all.

Rad grenades on the squad, phospex grenades on the sergeant, rad missiles with suspensor web, counter attack and gunslinger. They also get Ld9 on the whole squad, not just the sergeant. Oh and they're the only squad that can be joined by a Moritat. 

 

Tbh radioactive, jump packed, gunslingers are cool enough to take anyway! :)

[MayorDaley]

That sure does sound MUCH better! 

 

A few questions on the gear though.

 

1.) What are phosphex grenades?

2.) What do rad missiles with suspensor web do?

 

Counter Attack WITH Gunslinger sounds way cool though.

 

Thanks

1. Think White Phosphorous. It sticks, it burns, it can't be put out easily.

2. Fire radioactive material laced missiles on the run. Nasty stuff.

To add, I run 10 (jumppacks) with 2 missiles and a SGT with a power fist/phox grenade with an attached Master of Signal (ups them to BS5). I have yet to get into hand with them because they murder their targets.

Gee, seems to me that these guys would be perfect in an Iron Warriors army for storming the breach. I mean, you lay siege to them, blast their defenses to ruin, and then burn the survivors out of the ruins. Perturabo would approve ; Iron Within, Iron Without.

[Kol Saresk]

More than a few Legions can find ways to attribute the Destroyers to their tactics.

Yes well, the Iron Warriors are the best of the Legions and anyone who disagrees is wrong.  Perturabo even has a mathematical formula to prove it that the only correct opinion regarding which Legion is best is the Iron Warriors and anyone who believes different is wrong.  Not only that, but the citizens of Olympia grew up with the children's rhyme referencing the ending of a siege of "when it doubt, burn it out."

[andrewr2x2]

of the beaten track a tiny bit but what do you guys think of this dude ???

[Noctus Cornix]

Studs galore. My suggestion, since its a theme, is give the guy the mark IV chest plate that has all the studs and then give him a mark 5 helmet. Then his studded path will be complete. :P

[FashaTheDog]

He should have studs on his studs.

[GhostMalone]

Or power armoured studs over his power armour with studs :P

 

Looks great brother

[Kol Saresk]

No. We will not have Centurion studs! We will not delve into the abyss that is 40K design style. We will not have studs on our studs so our studs can have studs while we have studs! 30K will, remain pure! The Line Shall Be Drawn Here! And No Further!

[GhostMalone]

I know kol it's cool brother it's cool.

 

Just put the knife down and ill take it back

[Kol Saresk]

But it sparkles when the Devil dances in the pale moonlight.

[GhostMalone]

I know but the axe is more subtle ;)

Plus you night lords are to quiet

 

I thought a recon squad with chain axes would be an appropriate level of stealth :D

 

I will make it.

[Greyall]

Studs aren't a 40K thing. And what's (I might regret the question) wrong with 40K design style? The latest power-armoured minis have been great (pose aside), mixing all the marks and such.

[FashaTheDog]

So Xzibit was the Primarch of the II Legion.  Now we know why all information was deleted; he must have gone to Lion El'Jonson and started talking.  It probably went something like, "yo dawg, heard you I Legions, so I put a I Legion in your I Legion so you can..."

[andrewr2x2]

Am Kind of behind on my HH books and fluff and was wondering if anyone could help answer something for me?

 Mortarion used a lot of troops and fitted out  his marines with the best standard of equipment so would they have had much Mk iv during the heresy ???

they always seem depicted in mk ii or iii which is kind of suits them but am curious if anyone knows how much fo there legion had mk iv.

From what I gather Horus had ensured the legions he knew would side with him were issued the most suits of mk iv armour so this would surely include the Death Guard.

 

might have to revisit Eisenstein and search for answers in there.

[FunkyMonkey]

Surely only a percentage of the Death Guard could have been equipped with Mk4 armor, and I think the images of Death Guard in Mk2 and Mk3 armor is just an aesthetic choice because it seems to work best with the wearing techniques that really goes well with the legion's true grit character.  In my mind, the only legion that would have the overwhelming majority of marines be in Mk4 is the Emperor's Children, because they are just that perfect.

It's a joke on the whole "put studs on the studs" thing based on this picture:

My post was then a twisting of the speech Quark gave on how his bar would not be conforming to the new society of Ferengenar, which in turn was a twisting of Picard's speech in First Contact when he said that he would not be giving anymore ground to the Borg; the famous "The Line Shall Be Drawn Here And No Further!" speech. Which was probably taken from somewhere else.

[Greyall]

I said I'd regret asking...

Just kidding

@Funky thank you am looking to mix it up a little kind of mid heresy army where there is units like the destroyers and a few tacticals in Mk iv but some heavy support squads and the bulk of tacticals in mk III

also not exactly sure where on the time line Typhus and his ilk get sucked into the warp and turned into maggot fodder I believe it's just before the siege of Terror. Does anyone know what Mortarion gets up to after The Drop Site Masacre.
