Shaezus Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Anybody remember that character from the mortal kombat game? "GET OVER HERE!" Can just imagine an angry furioso saying something like that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapelXIII Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Scorpion is his name. Someone needs to have a yellow and black paint scheme with an underhung magna grappler now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperors Immortals Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Superb, ill be re-attaching the magnas! Does it mean we can fire templates instead of guns?? Also, didn't Reptile have it too in the first MK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapelXIII Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Reptile spit acid. Also, I'm not sure was in the first game. I thought the only ninjas in the first were scorpion and subzero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Reptile was a hidden, unplayable enemy character in the first game. As he was a reskin/hyrbid of both Scorpion and Sub Zero, he could use an ice attack and a "grapple" attack, but when he became playable from MKII onwards, he developed his own abilities.

ChapelXIII Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ah thank you Jolemai. My mistake. Either way is this change would be great for magna grappler option and I might have to actually go buy the kit now. I have been running an old metal furioso forever and I'm starting to think he needs a brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Drop behind tank and troops. Drag tank through troops to make them bunch together. Shoot frag cannon at tank, clipping some troops. Melta tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaezus Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 :D Even better if the troops flee off the board from tank shock and you blow up the tank too! My record so far with one first-turn fraggy dread strike: 1 x vindicator destroyed, 1 x dreadnought immobilised and weapon destroyed, 1 x rhino destroyed and 3 chaos marines killed. Thats effectively about 350 points worth...don't ya love it when they bunch together? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Drop behind tank and troops. Drag tank through troops to make them bunch together. Shoot frag cannon at tank, clipping some troops. Melta tank. You still have to cover as much as you can of your target with the template. Pulling off a tank shock first means drawing the vehicle closer to yourself, probably pushing any intervening model to the side. You'll end up with far less models to legally cover with the template compared to shooting the fragcannon first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll end up with far less models to legally cover with the template compared to shooting the fragcannon first. What happens if you deep strike so that the troops are between you and the tank, shoot the frag cannon through the troops at the tank (requires you be close enough to the tank), then shoot the magna grapple at the tank, then shoot the melta at the tank? In this order of operations, would the frag cannon hit both the tank and the troops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes and the best thing is that with the new rules if you kill enough of the troops with the frag, the vehicle can't claim a cover save from them when you shoot with magna and melta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
