depthcharge12 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Much to my chagrin IT FETHING DID THE RAT :cuss: It landed and I punched it with a knight and Reaver till it had ONE FRICKING HULL POINT. Then it flew off the next turn laughing. The SW player then redirected all the firepower at it to knock it down, but it had as much effect as a dog barking at a flying goose :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Wow, godlike! What was it's contribution to the battle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Spend the 150 points for the D blast, that goes without saying... Lascannons and the nope missiles did a number on our knight Titans from what I heard. It's biggest accomplishment was just ignoring anything we short at it when it came in so we ignored it till it landed. It dropped off Magy, a Levi, and a busload of space wizard terminators. It also helped that they dropped that strategic generator card for apocalypse on it so we couldn't target it in shooting. Honestly, you could have gotten a thunder hawk to do something similiar and survive, and it would've been less expensive in money/points, but i can't deny that it took over control of the middle of the field. We could have been jerks and put tanks and such that it couldn't land, but we wanted a fun game lol :P ...did I mention we played on a huge table?

depthcharge12 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hilariously, between our two Atrapos knights and Athrawes' psi warlord, we caused 3 vortex templates that flew around the board :D One sucked a bunker and ammo dump off of some heavy support marines as they sat in it :P it proceeded to eat 3 land raiders... Also, the Luna Wolves player I faced had a diversity hire as he popped one of his TS libbies in with his reaver squad lol Our Vlyka player banned us from using the word psychic phase on our side, so I elected to use the word "Wolf Phase"....

Sanct Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I see I hit a nerve. Let's enumerate all the ways you're objectively wrong. I was going for comedic reflection of the logic (hence the smiley face) but objectively? Comeon...My point is that Maloghurst unlocks Vets/Reavers while using a rite. Anything that stops you using the rite you want is bad. If you don't use a rite you're usually better off using a Praetor and PotL/Black Reaving. 6. If you don't see the value of relentless rapiers... in Long March... Ick. That hits a nerve due to the beardy nature but it depends on your group.

Demonknight Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'd really like to run a 3000 pt SOH and Death Guard combined force. What would be the best way of doing this? I assume SOH would need to be Primary due to bitter pride? Any synergies or combo's I might have overlooked? I think this sounds like a lot of fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like a great unit with LA:SoH I considered using a unit starting on the board but that's likely a better idea for them! I'm not the first one to consider this, but can SoH moritats get BS6 due to death dealers? It's a legion trait, not a blessing or benefit from a RoW. Therefore, if you roll a 1 with plasma, you can reroll for a 6, and more than likely miss, but at least avoid a gets hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyDorianx Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I wanted to ask, how come that in the the HH: Age of darkness_legions book, under special unit : termintaors out of all special unit termintators, only Justerians cant take spartan as dedicited transport? Is this some mistake, or they can, but it is not put in book for some odd reason... or :cuss son of horus must use HS slot for spartan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We have to use a Heavy Support slot. No reason at all, FW staff either genuinely decided Justaerin didn't deserve one or made a mistake and then never bothered fixing it. It's never bothered me though, because I don't think Justaerin should be used in a Spartan, but I can see the irritation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 They kept catching their topknots on the door when running down the assault ramp, with predictable slapstick results, so Horus banned them from using Spartans. depthcharge12, Dumah and Arion 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 So I've been musing (which always leads up to no good) about running Horus with a blob of Tartaros terminators. Slap in a bunch of combi weapons, but the nice thing is that they can overwatch when they teleport in, not to mention being able to sweep along with dad. Horus Primus Medicae + Tartaros armor, power fist 5 Tartaros terminators + 5 combi melta, 3 chainfists, 2 power fists Horus' +1 BS doesn't really even matter anymore due to death dealers so he can shoot off his big beam o' death.

I've been considering this too, although I'm still too big of a fan of Justaerin to not take them with Horus. The thing I think about is that the stuff I want to point Horus st is typically Fearless/Stubborn anyway so the ability to sweep doesn't matter so much.

Withershadow Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don't really see the point of Horus with Justaerin. They are individually bad-ass enough that they don't need each other's help, and putting them together just lets your opponent concentrate all their S8+ fire on that one unit, rendering the extra wounds null and void. depthcharge12 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That's why I'm thinking of just running him with some Tartaros terminators or despoiler squad. He's no slouch in melee, he really only needs ablative wounds and some dudes with combi weapons to utilize his teleport trick. Justaerin should be off on their own causing havoc and dividing your opponent's army. Or you can utilize Black Reaving to get Horus/tarts into combat and then charge with your Justaerin the turn after that to get rage on them :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Horus's teleport trick is dumb, because it means you are unable to assault at least until turn 3. Drop him in a dreadclaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sekhmet terminators utilizing Magnus rite of war doohickey. Means they lose their rerolls of 1's T3. Very niche, but I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
