kursen Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Afternoon all! Apologies if this has been covered/asked before but I see a lot of people running obliterator squads of 2 usually and not 3 I'm just curious as to why this is. To save points for other things or is 3 just overkill for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezirah Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I don't know about the others, but I always run out of points to take more than four Nurgle Obliterators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornywingythingy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 its target saturation, and fire diversification, 6 oblits in two units of three can only shoot two units, the same firepower, but only at two targets, whereas three units of two can fire at three separate targets, so is more versatile, also, losing one oblit from either two or three oblits will force a morale check, if you fail on a unit of two its less points running than a unit of three. Also in big guns they are scoring (skyfire oblits FTW!) so three units of two can score more objectives than two of three! Hope that helps!

kursen Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yeah that helps alot Thankyou for the detailed response :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't think many builds opt for 3 units of oblits under 2k points. But anyway , we take 2 units because of 2 things hull points on under 13 av stuff[havock strip those better] and dimnishing returns on oblit weapons .

Sception Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't know about the others, but I always run out of points to take more than four Nurgle Obliterators. This is my issue as well, and not just when it comes to nurgle oblits. I always run out of points before I run out of any slots at all. Fast, heavy, HQ, allies, doesn't matter. The points always run out before the slots do, and if I'm playing enough points to field full slots of anything, I hit 2k points and have even more slots. At least for me, the force org chart is obsolete. Too many slots, not enough points to fill them with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
