Brother Darklight Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hey all! I've got some MT started and I'm considering the MT Storm Scions box that GW's got up right now. Planning in advance here; how does everyone kit out their Taurox Prime? I can't decide if I like the idea of making both with the Taurox missile launchers, or if kitting them out with two different weapons would be smarter. With what I've got now, I deep strike/Valkyrie deploy a 5 man Melta team for dealing with vehicles. I'd probably make a 2nd 5 man team for this since MT kind of lacks in the Anti-tank department. Would 2 missile launcher Tauroxes be worth the points to bolster the anti-tank?

Frater Cornelius Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 ML is your best AT outside of meltas. Having said that, 100 points is a lot. The firepower matches it but with av11 you need to be careful with it. If it was AM, I'd say vanilla loadout with AC to save points but with MT I think that ML is your choice.

march10k Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If you're playing pure stormtroopers and need ranged antitank, look no further than the firestorm redoubt...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Doesn't Firestorm Redoubt have sky fire though? Only snap shooting at ground targets now, interceptor notwithstanding. No experience to go on, but I'm thinking a pure Scion force would benefit from some missile launchers. And deep striking/grav chuting meltas.

littlbitz Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm doing a mix with my pure Scion army, using the Ground Assault Formation, I have 4 Taurox Primes. Im doing 2 with Missile Launcher and Auto Cannon, and 2 with the Gattling Cannon and Auto Cannon. Went for a little mix. The force also includes 3 Valkyries with squads in it for some additional fire support.
