Emperor's Furor Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 How would you kit out a outrider squad, I can't decide whether to go simple with a power sword and power axe, or maybe a bit more complicated.

spu00sed Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 When I look at outriders I see the twin linked plasma guns and go all gooy inside Though 5 with twin linked plasma and melta bombs will set you back 300pts! The plan is to use their speed to quickly close with enemy support units and destroy them. I personally see 25pt twin linked plasma as a bargain on T5 12" move marines.

Sevatar Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 With Iron Hands rule they are plain nasty. I use plasmas as an anti-Terminator, other Support Squad roles. Easy pickings (if I roll well) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280629-outriders-and-their-equipment/#findComment-3469833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm planning a White Scars force, based on the assumption they will be troop choices. I thought plasma on bikers might be a bit to dangerous since if you over heat then the toughness means nothing, then again it is twin linked... I was planning on a more assault orientated force so leaning towards melee weapons more.

I call them Black Knights. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280629-outriders-and-their-equipment/#findComment-3470229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 What melee weapons do you think is best for bikers? I kind of like the look of the new mk II axes but don't think power axes are very good. What do you think of just power swords then with the occasional power fist on the sergeant?
