MoreMelta Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 With the new 7th ed rule set we now can put our repentia in BB land raiders! I have never owned repentia because they just weren't a viable option without a delivery system. I have played them in 2 games so far (proxy as wyches). Game 1: 6 repentia killed a broadside team and a riptide (saint and war priest attacked) Game 2: charged and destroyed an Imperial Knight in one round of combat My list is designed to put so much pressure on the opponent that the LR has time to get in assault range. I absolutely love the kill potential of this unit. They are the same points cost as a tactical marine with a much nastier kill potential as long as you can deliver the assault. Does anyone have any repentia pictures they would like to share? I'm trying to decide what to do (convert vs buy and color scheme). Has anyone else tried repentia in 7th?

David Ravel Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I never tried them, never buyed them. But what you are saying is encouraging. I'll try them in LR and maybe buy some myself ! Thanks !

PureFodder Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I played them three times so far in 7th ed. Each time they hitched a lift in a Land Raider Redeemer borrowed from the Inquisition and came with Jacobus for the hymns and the 5++. As it's a dedicated transport, they have to spend the first turn getting it (it's scary if you're opponent goes first and has barrage weapons - Coteaz is definitely worth it in for this tactic). Once they were in: 1st game they did nothing because I gunned his army down before they got to a sensible target. 2nd game my opponent deepstruck a squad of terminators into a ruin in my back-field. The squad ripped them in half the next turn. 3rd game they charged into a Knight and and killed it with about 20 hits to spare, those that survived got gunned down by the rest of his army, which wasted a turn of his shooting. Overall, they seem great if you can stuff them in an assault transport. Obviously they'll work better if it's a heavy support option rather than a dedicated transport as you don't have to spend a turn waiting to get in. They are great as mowing down one tough unit then getting murdered next turn. I want to try them in a stormlord next, which should be fun.

MoreMelta Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 David, That's the same reason I never bought them. They really benifit from the LR now. PureFodder, That's awesome. I know what you mean about the dedicated transport. That is why I chose white scars as allies instead of inquisition (really wish it was a heavy). I found that if turn one I can put 2 scouting bike squads and 2 dominion squads in their face the heavy LR can flat out and be 6 inches from the deployment line in turn one. Plus even if you go 2nd a lot of people will under estimate them and drop terminators within 18 inches or walk a knight forward. I know they are a situational unit but such kill potential. Especially when saint and the war priest can keep them alive.

David Ravel Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I actually modeled an Inquisition Stormlord especially to field Repentia or Deathcult Assassin in Apoc games. Now I can do it in normal games ! Yeah ! I'm planning on doing a little strikeforce of Red Hunters anyway. Might as well build them a LR to put some Repentia in it.

aura_enchanted Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 If you can talk someone into a forge world legal game you can take a land raider Achilles or a Spartan assault tank.

*Furyou Miko Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just don't try it against Necrons. Last game I saw with a Spartan, it didn't get to move before it was eaten by scarabs.

Duke Danse Macabre Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yeh but the are template fodder so not a problem for our regulars. Now I have been saying the assault option is now back on the table since we now have a working transport, it is however still a huge points investment though looking in the region of 450 points. Is it really worth this? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291739-7th-editionrepentia/#findComment-3704017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It'll kill one thing absolutely dead. If the enemy is playing a Knight or something like that, then yes, its worth it. Otherwise... probably not. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291739-7th-editionrepentia/#findComment-3704053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreMelta Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I think in most games repentia plus the LR will get their points back. I just try to know when they need to be delivered quickly (terrified of the LR blowing up in my deployment zone). As for the scarab thing, screen the LR, out position the scarabs, or focus them down. Running this unit will take more positioning and tactics than, say, our scouting dominions. But they can kill imperial knights, DPs, multiassault and kill 2 vehicles if necessary (wave serpants, Pask squadron), terminators, broadsides, centurions. I'm going to run them in our next tourney and that will give me a better indication as to the reliability of their delivery. I think they would die a lot sooner if they were the only scary thing rushing forward, but they never are.

Duke Danse Macabre Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The problem is in my eyes it has to work in all comers lists for me to be viable. I make a few list variants then build that army and stick to its formula, I do like to shake it up now and again but it must work under it own merits. Well I can work them into me 1850 force and see how they run. Truth be told I have high hopes but don't expect much.

ElectricPaladin Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Now that all Imperial armies are BB with each other, what we should really do is ally Sisters of Battle with Blood Angels. The Blood Angels get land raiders as Heavy Support, so you don't even have to worry about stealing someone else's dedicated transport...

MoreMelta Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm using the white scars. Khan and 2 scouting bikes squads with gravs. Storm talon, and of course the Land raider. All the scouting takes pressure off the LR. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291739-7th-editionrepentia/#findComment-3704318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do inquisition but if you take them you only need a 25 point inquisitor to ride along and keep your army Battle Forged rather than making it either unbound of paying for a much more expensive HQ and Troops choice. Besides the Inquisition fits the theme more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291739-7th-editionrepentia/#findComment-3704322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Furyou Miko Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I disagree. On Inquisition fitting the theme more, I mean. On the one hand, you have an Inquisitor, calling on the Sororitas for aid and getting sent... a bunch of military failures. If I were that Inquisitor, I would be less than happy - if I ask for Sororitas help, I damn well want Sororitas - armoured, disciplined, professional - not uncontrollable berserkers. If I wanted uncontrollable berserkers, I'd point some orks at the enemy, or infiltrate a psi-emitter or something. On the other, you have a Blood Angel. What could be more fitting than sending in Repentia, death-seekers, to assist with the honourable suicide of the Death Company? ... damnit, I don't have time, but someone remind me later to write that short. >> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291739-7th-editionrepentia/#findComment-3704554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm a bit hazy on the rules... can you start the game inside the inquisitor's dedicated transport as long as the inquisitor is in as well? You could give the inquisitor some power armour and bolt weaponry, model it well, and count her as some special sister that rides along with the repentia.

jacqualine47 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You could try taking the Adeptus Asartes Storm Wing dataslate. That gives a StormRaven and two escorting StormTalons with no HQ or Troop tax for a turn 3 assault out of the stormraven anywhere on the board.

*Furyou Miko Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 To exposit, a reference to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in which the protagonists aren't shown dying, but rather the story ends with them facing hopeless odds - in the original case, what looks like "the entire Bolivian army." Everyone knows they're going to die, but since its not shown 'on screen', there's always that little question niggling in the back of peoples heads...

Must Admit I would love to see a Repenta/ Death Company Army but in the same breath I also like the appeal of of a Crusader Army with Black Templars. Either way though, I am curious, do the Priests really help the Repenta that much?
