Kais89 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Dedicated transports now assume the type of slot they are purchased for, therefore possibly becoming troops. My question is, although Death.Company can not score ever, the transport does not have Black Rage meaning it can score and obtain objective secured correct? Im thinking Land Raider spam with Astorath might be a thing for us considering DC are only 60pts. A small tax to pay for an incredibly sturdy scoring unit.

TheSauce Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would read it that way as well. You could also just get ASM with the LR for 5 points more (100 points base for 5 guys, 35 point discount) and get two scoring units (though no DC!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Agreed :) Same goes for death dread too. Oh, happy days! Can see land raiders selling like hot cakes on ebay soon...personally for 1850 two phobos / godhammer, one each of crusader and redeemer, two vindicators plus a baal or unit of sniper scouts..hmm spam spam spam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If you want a mass of troops Land Raiders why not just take assault marines with land raiders since 5 assault marines with land raider is only 5 points more than 3 DC with Land Raider. Plus no need to take AStorath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If we ally a DA 4++ raider, will it effect us too? And can we still DS our raiders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais89 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 If we ally a DA 4++ raider, will it effect us too? And can we still DS our raiders? Sadly no, they will only apply to units chosen from Codex: Dark Angels. This would have been pretty rad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 So DC don't count for Linebreaker, but their Pod does. Seems legit. So, easy VP everybody, just fire an empty Pod into your enemies DZ. War! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought 3 drop pods so that I can claim 2 objectives in turn #1 and then drop the 3rd in the enemies deployment zone. We'll see how that works, but I'm anticipating some fun.

Shaezus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Have you built a Drop Pod before? It's not fun. Agreed. With 7 pods so far, I remain sane thanks only to blu-tac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakbal Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Have you built a Drop Pod before? It's not fun. I have not. Gonna begin on them tonight. I've heard from everyone that it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Mine took forever. Then, when I took it to game, it fell apart so I had to sand all the old plastic glue off every contact point and then reglue. My plans for a Drop Pod army were shelved that night.

Sanguine Eternal Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Drop pods are easy dont bother with the troop holders and console in the middle waste of time Yup, I found this out the hard way after building 3, and realizing I use them mainly for dreads... Wheres the dread going to go!? I have 3 fully painted, 2 assembled, and 1 in box... I'll tell yah, they are my least favorite model to paint, but look great when done if time is taken to make them not look just 1 or 2 colors. I paint hazard stripes on the inside of the doors so that when they drop, the model looks a million times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Drop pods are easy dont bother with the troop holders and console in the middle waste of time Don't be a quitter! Make sure things fit, shave off a bit on the base plate if the doors won't close. Use gel-type super glue when doing the final assembly and it's not that bad.

ChapelXIII Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I remember putting mine together for last years ETL. I didn't think it was so bad. I also did a lot of dry fitting and looked up tutorials on how to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I found a spare bit of sponge from my gaming case to be the quickest way to get a good nice weathered and scratched look, using small amounts of boltgun metal over raised edges takes about a minute and looks great. Can always go back and apply oil and soil later when there's plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
