Demonknight Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I know the points could definitely be spent better to beef up my IH force and smash face, but I just really like the look of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 While all the Chassis' are viable, I'd go with those that incorporate more esoteric technology in that sense. Like the Styrix or Atrapos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonknight Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I really like the look of their addition armour. Leaning more towards the Atrapos. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Helps that the Atrapos is a beast of a knight too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Cant go wrong with an S7 Ap3 Hellstorm Flamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 At the moment my heavy supports have a Sicaran Venator Vindi Laser Destroyer Leviathan Siege Dread (who I finished building tonight and oh boy he is imposing) The fast has nothing in it. Lord of war has Ferrus. Elites are a Contemptor with underslung Grav Gun and Lascannon and Gorgons in a Spartan. Troops are two tactical 10 man's in Rhinos and a GravGun support squad. HQ is Orth in the Venator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 An apocalypse flamer that ignores cover is really useful, as far as knights go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Usually means dropping some things to take a pair, though. Could always ally in SA and take a Macarius Flamer, and add in some BS4 Volkites to your list. Edited January 25, 2016 by Hesh Kadesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) That's the main reason I would hold off knight for the 3k+ range. Before that point, you are going to feel very naked since they are such a large chumk, your legion list will not have much to get outside the troop tax.

Hesh Kadesh Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) The Infernus at least packs an 18" torrent. Why 18, I don't know, but I'm not complaining. Edit, just thought of an awesome idea, Rapier Flamestorms. Oh hoky homebrew. Edited January 25, 2016 by Hesh Kadesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I am hoping Meduson gives us some mad army buffs to make up for the fact Ferrus isn't there to hand out the candy. In other news though: Volkite Culverin Squad given PE by Mor with attached Master of Signal. Perfect squad or perfectest squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I do it, it's great. Having PE on the bombardment is awesome as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 A master of signals is really not necessary, and rather expensive for +1 BS. Autek Mor will give them prefered enemy anyways ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Predator squadron ftw 3x ac/lc is my go to o load its pretty cheap Aye it's not bad. It'll mince through anything not AV14 and put a dent in MEQ units too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) It's sad really. A bit of Mathammer (No Orth's at all) suggest 3 Predators with Autocannon and Lascannon sponsons to be only marginally more effective against AV13 than a single Sicaran with Lascannon sponsons, but almost exactly twice the pts cost. The Predators do have an advantage of both Hull Points and volume-fire potential, but the Sicaran is faster and takes less table space. Adding Machine Spirits helps with the mobility of the Predators, but that makes the cost even less in their favour. I want to try Orth in the Predator Squadron as he will amplify the quantity of hits from his own tank and improve the damage potential of all of them with Tank Hunters affecting the whole unit.

Charlo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That interesting. I suppose you pay for survivability and horde eradication with the predators. Sicarans are just the king tank, it's good they are balanced in that you can't have squads. Valdr Fell-fist 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah, that is interesting! Definitely makes the "unusual" Predators more attractive... HCBs, Executioners & magna-meltas are very different in both play-style & target than a "standard" Predator loadout. 9HP is a lot to get rid of, so that's a big plus for Predators in general.
