CommodusXIII Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 There's an ongoing discussion in the PCA subforum regarding bits retailers. My personal suggestion is Hoard O' Bits, but Blackdagger Games (eBay Store) is also highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 is there third party kind of bits for it too? I also love the idea for the thralls Anvil industries have a couple of things that could be turned into thralls. Their quality is excellent too. Btw, I don't understand the purpose for giving battle automata power blades? All it gives is rending and ap2. Monstrous creatures already have ap2 all the time. Is this a case of FW planning ahead for the new edition changes we aren't aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Do Monstrous Creatures behave differently in 30K versus 40K? Rending does have an added benefit, but you're right - I'm not sure it's worth the effort. It could also be a case of that classic FW mentality of: I thought of this, it's cool, let's make rules for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Bjoern Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Extra attack for two cc weapons. Do the shock chargers counts as CCW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronozoah Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Extra attack for two cc weapons. This is incorrect. The weapon profile for the Power Blades specifies that they represent a close combat weapon, so no additional attack is granted. Given this and the fact that the Power Blades are an additional cost to the model offering no statistical advantage and only a redundant rule otherwise, keeping the Shock Chargers is actually the superior choice as they cost nothing and grant Concussive. Shock Chargers also do not count as weapons, and even if they did, it is irrelevant because the Power Blades may only be equipped in their stead, not in addition to, so you cannot stack melee weapons to gain extra attacks. Currently, I cannot identify any advantage to using the Power Blades due to the fact that you spend more to get less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uvenla Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The Castellax will get the extra attack since you are buying two power blades for the price and so it will be an add.CCW. I like this options to get one extra attack and just that rending that can be of great help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 But rending is pointless when you can just half your attacks to get strength 10 and re-roll armor penetration. Also, concussive sounds more useful than +1 attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this options to get one extra attack and just that rending that can be of great help! Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to possess two close combat weapons to gain the extra attack? The profile for the Power Blades specifies that together they count as a close combat weapon, singular, which would mean that you don't even get an additional attack because according to the rules you are only treated as having a single close combat weapon (clarification required). Either way, the Shock Chargers do seem more useful - particularly considering they are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skorpion Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The Tech Thralls with two shot lascarbines seem like a good, cheap scoring unit to me- and the veritable 'send in the next wave' ability you can give the archmagos means that theyll more or less be right back in position in the backfield the turn after they die. The biggest problem with them is finding a cost effective way of modeling a 5 pt mostly-robotic cyborg. What is the 'send in the next wave' ability? I can't seem to see it, which book is it in?

Dark Bjoern Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 You need a Magos Prime with the Lachrimallus High Techno-Arcana. You will find it in HH3 Extermination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
