Demus Ragnok Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So I'm thinking of building a crusade era army that will include some veteran tacticals. I'm considering the following build. 10 man 1 melta gun 1 heavy flamer rhino outflank special rule What say you all?

DuskRaider Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I don't think you can Outflank with vehicles anymore, but I could be wrong. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278914-veteran-tactical-squads/#findComment-3434569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuskRaider Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Oh, well then not a bad idea. Honestly, I've heard 2 x Heavy Bolters with the Sniper ability are good too.

Demus Ragnok Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Oh, well then not a bad idea. Honestly, I've heard 2 x Heavy Bolters with the Sniper ability are good too. I've heard that too. Now I'm no mathhammer guru but the HB will wound marines on a 3+. Sniper is a 4+ with the rending ,pinning, and potential for a precision shot. 3+>4+ in my mind. I was going to do 2×plasma with sniper. Like the heavy bolter going from wounding on a 2+ for the PG to 4+ with sniper rule is backwards to me.

Adra'Melek Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The errata stated that if veterans/Vigilator with sniper roll 4+ to wound at worst. So they still benefit from high strength weapons.

depthcharge12 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I would vote for the 2 heavy bolters and sniper That way you can move and shoot and assault (suspensor webs) and you should get exactly one rending shot (6 shots between the hb, 1/6 chance of rending, derp) which kinda counts as a plasma shot, but auto wounds and counts as ap2 and doesnt have gets hot! not a bad deal and will still let you assault if you so choose, which you proly should be doing with power weapon armed vets instead of trying to outshoot a tac squad. As for the rhino, leave it at home if you are outflanking nerfs to shooting out of it no assault out of it 35 more points for power weapons and arti armor which you need unescessary (sp. check i hate this word) for outflanking If you do do the hbs and sniper then i would take it too move them into a good position to assault some tacs the next turn while leaving the rhino in front of them to prevent fury of the legion shenanigans Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278914-veteran-tactical-squads/#findComment-3435302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisdudeness Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Don't forget the Flakk Missile Launcher with Tankhunter. Anti-air and can assault after shooting frag missiles at the target is pretty nice.
