BassWave Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I heard the vets here talking about that chargers were added to support squads. Where can i find the update? I only have access to the first three books, is it in the crusade list book? Also, where can I find the update for tactical support sargeants getting a flamer by default?

Slips Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Highly likely to be in the Crusade list books since they're the most recent releases. You could always shoot FW and email if you're ever unsure and need official confirmation.

Moonstalker Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Those are both changes put out in LACAL. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294557-volkite-chargers-on-tactical-support-squads/#findComment-3764765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delvarus Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Indeed they are. May I ask if anyone has had success with Tac support squads armed with chargers?

Moonstalker Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I don't know why you would bring the Chargers when you could have the Calivers for the same price. With the Charger, you're really just competing in the same role as Tacticals (mid-range anti-infantry dakka), but paying significantly more points for not much gain (S5 and Deflagrate, Assault 2 15" vs Rapid Fire 24" is a bit of a wash). The Calivers get higher strength and range, pushing them into a long-range fire support role and bringing the kind of high strength dakka you won't get from tacticals.

BassWave Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks for the clarification. I like chargers because the theme of my list is a highly mobile mech force. So, no back field infantry squatters for me. I've been testing a charger squad in a rhino to go up with my tacticals. They haven't done bad. In fact, the sarge of the squad even killed a tooled up EC centurion in a challenge with his bare hands on the turn the centurion charged...
