GOFADK Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Are Jokaeros still that bad, and im not thinking of the model :)? 35pts is a lot of points for a lascannon with bs3, but now with an auto included divition psyker, has it changed?

Gentlemanloser Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Some *cough*RD*cough* would say Jokers have never been bad. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291964-are-jokaeros-still-that-bad/#findComment-3707857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercus Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm putting one in my inquisitor's bodyguard purely because everybody loves an orange monkey. An orange monkey that can burn your face right off or squash a tank? Even better.

Exile Noctis Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Im just thinking: 2 - Jokers 1 - psyker 5- meatshield acolyts 100 pts Thats 2 lascannons with re-roll to hit and some bodys to take the first 6 wounds Pretty decent setup. Could drop the Acolytes to 3 and then let them roll around in multiple Psybacks to save points for other fun toys.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Some *cough*RD*cough* would say Jokers have never been bad. YOU RANG? In a normal Henchmen squad, no, you need at least two and you can get another squad almost for 70 points. T2 and 5+ invul is so easily squished by standard anti-infantry. Which is why you need to go full monkey and take the Dr Zaius list. Now updated for 7th edition! HQ: Dr Zaius (Coteaz) (100 points) Troops: (3) Psyker w/Divination, 10 x Jokaero (360 points each) 9 x Jokaero (315 points) Total: 1,495 points 39 lascannons Turn 1, and your entire psychic phase is just throwing charges at 'Prescience' till it goes off. I have proxied this list once and been told I'm a power gamer. My sides have yet to recover.

Kenderleech Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I hope you mean 3x psyker and 9x monkeys. Otherwise, while not powergaming, you were using an illegal unit entry.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 There is nothing wrong with a unit of 10 henchmen, 9 Jokers and 1 Psyker. 39 lascannons Turn 1, and your entire psychic phase is just throwing charges at 'Prescience' till it goes off. I have proxied this list once and been told I'm a power gamer. My sides have yet to recover. ROFL!
