Emperor's Furor Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I have this rapier platform with a graviton cannon, I got it a while ago with the intention of using it for salamanders or iron hands, but I'm not longer doing them, right now I'm doing Word Bearers and also a loyalist legion which until recently was Raven Guard but I've gone off them. The problem I have is it no longer really fits into my plans, for my loyalist legion I want a mobile force, with emphasis on assault, so perhaps lots of assault troops, I already have a jump pack unit of destroyers ready for my them. For me a rapier platform would seem out of place in such a mobile force and I like to keep the theme tight in my armies. So what should I do with it? It'll feel like a waste if I don't make some use of it but atm I'm struggling to think of a use for it, be it using it as a conversion or something else.

Hyaenidae Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just paint it for the hell of it anyway. You'd be suprised how things like that later on down the road suddenly become amazing options. Fr'ex, what happens if your buddy Joe Somebody builds a Zone Mortalis boarding action piece, and challenges you to a game? Suddenly, you go 'Oh snap, I got a graviton cannon that could fill up a hallway, raise eight shades of hell, and even still block the corridor with it's wreckage after death. *add evil giggle for flavor*' Beyond that, trade it, then. I'm sure someone out there would give up something that would fit your army for that cannon.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Mobile huh? Well, you could always buy a Legion Medusa & build one of these :P But otherwise, they can take drop pods, and as soon as you put something in a drop pod, it becomes suitable for an assault-themed force. Oh whats that? All your comparatively squishy Assault Marines are getting minced by that Typhon and you don't have anything heavy enough to cause it grief? Pod in your Graviton Cannon and turn it into a hissing pile of scrap.

Emperor's Furor Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm not sure, it's a blast weapon and not the best at destroying vehicles, plus it can't fire on the turn it drop pods in right? I think I should of thought about it more before I got it, my normal 40k marine force is pretty static with a thunderfire cannon, rapiers are not that much different.
