Valaskjalf Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 >If you are running a 6man MoS melta squad with a LC/ PF lord, do you go for CM/LC or CM/Power axe for the champ? Personally I go for the LC, since with only 1 wound there is too big a chance the champ will die before striking a blow if not hitting at initiative. Plus I prefer the look Both very valid points too. Cheers. Yeah spending the points on making the guy I5, only to totally negate that by giving him a PF doesnt make any sense.

Forté Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The Lord has LC and PF because you never know. And for things like tanks. It's the Raptor champ who was LC or Power axe.

GreyCrow Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Stupid question here, but reading the Codex I'm wondering : Can Raptors take Special weapons without swapping either the bolt pistol or the CCW ? From what I can read, it's either they replace the Bolt Pistol with a Plasma Pistol, either they take an extra Special Weapon. Or am I mistaken here ?

Slaanbull Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Not stupid at all, but they can indeed take a special weapon without trading for one of their other weapons. Nice for a small two melta squad to retain their extra CCW attack afterwards, even if it wont move any mountains.

hopkins Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Really? I misread that, and always played my 2 melta dudes with 1 less attack, as I thought it replaced the bolt pistol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284528-raptors/page/4/#findComment-4010000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaanbull Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm pretty sure; "Up to two Raptors may replace their bolt pistol with a plasma pistol.......Or take one of the following".You can either swap two pistols for a plasma pistol, or just take two special weapons, no swapping but still max two, and exclusive so no plasma pistols+special weapons.

Aspiringchaoschampion Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Im considering running 6 with MoS 2 flamers and a pair of claws on the champ advance them uo behind a pair of rhinos with a defiler on the flank and they should do "ok" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284528-raptors/page/4/#findComment-4010320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
