ZONKEY Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi, When I build a nephilium jet fighter am I better of getting a avenger mega bolter or a las canon attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Magnets. Use both: Magnet tutorial: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271107-magnetizing-your-nephilimdark-talon/ Nephilim Tactica: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288917-tactica-nephilim/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daevyll Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Magnetize. But failing that, decide if you want it to be anti-heavyarmor (lascannon) or anti-rest (megabolter). Personally I'd go for the latter, as the missiles are also S6 and the heavy bolters S5 so putting a S9 lascannon on it would be a tad schizophrenic.

Larhendiel Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 magnetize and then proxy it for stormravengunship ;) Thats what I do at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONKEY Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lol, magnatize is the key lol :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlauG Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Honestly, this is one case where you don't even need to use magnets. That thing fits in so snugly anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Honestly, this is one case where you don't even need to use magnets. That thing fits in so snugly anyway. can confirm. As I own a nephilim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I own a nephilim. indeed. there is no need at all for magnets in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effreem Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 IMO, its a good aircraft, but its overcosted by about 40 points. I use 2 when I want to fly them, 1 with Las and 1 with MB and they do pretty well even against a stormwing (although against a stormwing you NEED reserves manipulation. If the Stormwing gets first shot on them they die but thats true of any air vs air battle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Magnus Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Personally if you are considering an anti-infantry flyer I would take the Dark Talon over the mega-bolter Nephilim. Depending on your army list, it's hurricane bolters can benefit from the Banner of Devastation and the Blind template has the potential to shut down an enemy unit which can then be over run by your assault and/or bike units. The only thing the mega-bolter gives you is range, given that the Dark Talon's effective range is 18". I prefer the lascannon Nephilim as it brings something unique to the table and is optimized for shutting down vehicles with its weapon destroyed to immobilized special rule.

DiscipleOfCaliban Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Can definitely confirm that no magnets are necessary. Swap the weapons any time you feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONKEY Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Brilliant, is it better to field two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 In 40k, no matter what unit you're talking about, it's better to field two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Honestly, this is one case where you don't even need to use magnets. That thing fits in so snugly anyway. can confirm. As I own a nephilim. indeed. there is no need at all for magnets in this case I also didn't need magnets. I built 2 and the LC for both fit very snuggly. The MB on the other had was just a little to loose for my tastes. I probably filed it down a little to smoothly. My solution was a long pin on the back of the MB for leverage against the inside of the fighter. Worked like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
