shaun03 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Was looking to add some Havocs to DG force right now it's small I'm holding on buying things until I get the new rules in mail pre order it this morning. But with the 5 Spare bodies I got was thinking proxy them for few games coming up. When pairing them with gunline, what's a good mix to go with it? I was thinking auto cannons at first because all the weapons would be the same I can unleash a good amount of shots. Also ML come to play two because they sync pretty well with gunline AC. Once the new rules for snap fire hits I thinking AC might be better with extra shot. Any one have good success running Havocs? The rest of my force is two 7 man PM squads one with x2 plasma and champ with combo-plasma. The other 7 x2 meltaguns champ power ax and meltaboms, both have rhinos. I run lord on plaquin with LC's and he rides wit 7 man melts sq, not the best set up,, but it's what I got for now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 well autocannons are decent and nice range so when I use havocs on adl I have 4 AC and the champion mans my Quad gun. Kinda self explanatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Personal preference generally is four Autocannons/MLs - depends entirely on what you're playing and the local meta I feel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I usually use 4 autocannons, but I sometimes do 2 missile launchers and 2 lascannons depending on expected threat levels. It's not much, but the 2 ML shave some points off while maintaining anti-armour capability alongside the lascannons. This is all anecdotal from a casual player, so make of it what you will.

incinerator950 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 How has the ml/ac faired for havocs in the anti armor department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Also in stronghold assault I think there's an upgrade that lets you reroll ones, ammo dump or something. So you could take that to help make any weap hit, including plasma guns to reroll those one's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucien Eilam Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Isn't this a really bad combination now? Interceptor doesn't let you target ground targets at full BS any more, and emplaced weapons have to target the same unit as the rest of the squad. So either you're shooting at ground targets, and the quad-gun is hitting on 6s, or you're shooting at flyers, and all your heavy weapons are hitting on 6s (unless you paid out for flakk missile launchers). Either way you're wasting at least one expensive gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Quad gun has interceptor so when the air comes in on their turn you can shoot at it then fire with a regular weapon on your own turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Fortitifcation specs and options are all still only in Stronghold Assault. Ammo Dump is indeed the option that allows reroll of 1s. 7th only has the SA rules without the actual Fort specs.

shaun03 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Tired out the auto cannons work well agasint some list struggled agasint others. The ml and AC is what I going to try next, with the uptick in armour now they offer a little extra punch. I don't use any fliers in my DG list, so having gunline is my only source of soild AA, and fliers are still big in my area. And land raiders and cron brick towers are coming back in to play. I thinking LC would be too costly, might give it shot but cutting points would be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
