Demonknight Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 So same loadout, 2 or 3 and put them each in a DDP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd go with 2 in pods; that way you still have 2 Elite Slots Free. Both get 2 DCCW and Grav Guns to haywire 4HP off of something if/when both drop in at the same time; maybe a chain fist if you can spare the points. For a 3rd Pod to get the 2-1 Drop ratio, take a Leviathan to taste in a pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonknight Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Sounds fun! Thanks guys! Edited February 13, 2016 by Demonknight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Running up the field becomes a good option in head of the Gorgon. As even if you lose a hull point, you have two rolls to restore it with Ferrus' IWND and Autosim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakoBoy88 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 They could work well running in front of a Leviathan as well. I played a game last night where the Leviathan stormed through two squads of Gal Vorbak and a tactical squad. That would have been so much more epic flanked by two baby Contemptors.

Luna707 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hey guys and gals, what are your thoughts on a spearhead comprised of a spartan filled with gorgans flanked by a proteus with volkite Medusans and five destroyers in an Achilles? I think it would be a fun av 14 army core with two units that make the Gorgan charge more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Depends. The achilles isn't an assault transport, so those 6 Destroyers are sat in no-mans land. The Proteus also isn't an assault transport, so you've got two units who can only shoot, but can't help out the Gorgonators unless they're sure that the assault will hit home, but the Gorgonators can't sweep, so are stuck facing an armies shooting with only their 5+ Saves, and more likely to blind their own side than they are enemies. One mediocre charge (well, mediocre, in the sense that you've got ~800pts NOT assaulting. Anyone who has Grav in decent numbers is also going to gib that Spartan before it can do anything.

Luna707 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well the point of the Achilles, Medusans, and destroyers wouldn't be cc but instead to fire at secondary targets that would retaliate against the gorgans in the next shooting phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 5 Destroyers wont deal enough damage on their own, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna707 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I figured but they are just so damn cool haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Get 10 of them w/ 2 Missile Launchers and 1 or 2 Phosphex Bombs in a Proteus. Stuff the Achilles w/ 6 Plasma Gun Marines. Luna707 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sadly ten of them kitted out I'd over 400 pts :( I love them but they just don't seem viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassangel Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Can the Domitar be taken as Elites in an Iron Hands army with Head of the Gorgon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Can the Domitar be taken as Elites in an Iron Hands army with Head of the Gorgon? no, only with the book VI rite that lets you take a bunch of automata options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 They can actually, they're Legio Cybernetica Battle Automata, so they're covered. N1SB 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 They can actually, they're Legio Cybernetica Battle Automata, so they're covered. TIL! That would mean you guys could also take the new & almost totally superior Arlatax as an elite choice too then? It's listed as a battle-automata...

Emperors Teeth Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 And probably that crazy flying drone one, too. Described as a battle-automata, too. Can't wait. That Rite is wasted on IH, HotG is better for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autek mor Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) so i went through some of the books again and the optional onslaught FOC caught my eye. would that be a better FOC to use with the head of the gorgon ROW?

Brofist Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I wanted to do that for a long time, but sadly you can't run allies or a ROW with that alternative FOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autek mor Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I wanted to do that for a long time, but sadly you can't run allies or a ROW with that alternative FOC. curses four heavy supports and two lord of wars would have been sweet, imagine all that outflanking armour.........

Charlo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You can run a RoW with the other detachments, but it's a hotly contested topic. In casual games just agree beforehand. Tournaments will otherwise let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassangel Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Wow, lol. I'm glad my newness to HH/30k revealed a bonus for us Iron Hands players! So, if I play Iron Hands and use HotG, I can take ANY Legio Cybernetica Battle-Automata as an Elites choice?! That's pretty sweet! Our group is relatively new, and obeys the "rule of cool", so I'm excited to buy some giant, gravity-fist wielding robots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
