Charlo Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 What you see is what you get with Angron - especially with Gahlan present. He's an absolute monster but balanced by his somewhat weak defensive ability. Didn't realise he had a 4++ though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangbanger Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah Gahlan really makes Angron so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 ^The couple times I've tried pairing Gahlan with Angron, it's been by themselves in a Dreadclaw. Hilariously, both times it got shot down before it could drop them off, resulting in a Str10Ap2 plummet to the ground. Both times, Angron bounced the wounds, then hopped up to gleefully charge into squishy loyalists. Angron defeated blows from Terra itself :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 ^ Haha, I bet that's an uncomfortable ride even for a guy like Gahlan. But I don't understand why you are subjecting them to S10? Dreadclaws arrive in hover mode, so you do not suffer the flier penalties when it gets shot down. Fangbanger and Gorgoff 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morovir Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This is full of useful information. One thing I don't like though is the title. It implies that there are things that should not be hit with chainaxes. Billy Butcher and Flint13 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Pubic lice? You wouldn't want to hit them with a chain axe, at least if they were yours. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the subsequent stomp might hurt a bit :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrion Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm sending Angron and the legion up against a bunch of warhounds and a reaver soon. Should be very interesting to see if it is at all possible to fell titans. I forsee massive issues with the bloody 6s to hit and then the 'remove model' if my opponent rolls 6s to wound. As well as the 'can never be locked in combat' rule. Any thoughts on strategy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disease Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I still cant believe we are 67 pages strong for WE tactics.

Ethrion Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) A "bunch" of Warhounds? Yeah I think he's bringing two or three. Definitely one reaver... Edited September 11, 2016 by Ethrion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love nothing more than hitting stuff with chainaxes but we also love talking about it. ;) A "bunch" of Warhounds? Yeah I think he's bringing two or three. Definitely one reaver...

God-Potato of Mankind Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The natural counter to titans is other supers or lots of Venators or Cerberii. Sadly the puny Mechanicum have failed to create a neutron projector small enough to fit into a chainaxe :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrion Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Turns out we only played a 3k game this time so he ended up taking 5 knights of various FW varieties and a Warhound Titan. Long story short I used the orbital rite of war and dropped Angron, Red Butchers, Chainfist Terminators, Meltafisted Contemptors and a couple of support squads (5 plasma, 5 melta). Targetted the Warhound first (which died T2), then destroyed a knight or two per turn with all the armourbane going around. Gotta say, vs Knights or Titans, World Eaters are brilliantly equipped to smash them to death in close combat (as long as you have pods to get you in their face immediately). I'll admit, I've always been worried as to needing ranged anti-tank weapons like a Sicaran Venator or suchlike...but to be honest, no need. Melta and charge, that's enough. p.s. Oh and this was the opening phase of an Isstvan V campaign we're running. So first blood to the traitors!

Flint13 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Nice work, man! I found out very early on that Dad doesn't need a lot of help with killing Knights. He'll typically murder them before they get to swing, even if they get the charge :D Glad to hear a warhound isn't much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting vs. his Reaver or Warlord as Angron will only hit on 6s as will everyone else, and he won't stay locked in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'm not sure I'd call that interesting, more like highly ineffective. Plus the warlord/reaver only has to roll a 6 on stomps once to crush Angron into a pulp. It might be heresy to say this in the World Eaters thread, but assaulting a warlord/reaver titan is one of the worst ways to take them out.

It might be heresy to say this in the World Eaters thread, but assaulting a warlord/reaver titan is one of the worst ways to take them out. I believe it's only warlords that are hit on a six, while reaves are fives and sixes. Assaulting them with anything besides meltabomb jetbikes, maybe, which are exempt from the reduced hit chance. Even then, yeah, you have a turn to kill it before it just stomps stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I mean still do you want Angron to chimp off one or two HP a turn from a reaver while having the chance of being stomped to death? Besides maybe the warhound titan, primarchs really should just stay away from titans. As you mentioned jetbikes really are the only unit that has a chance to do decent damage to a titan in an assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think throwing Angron at a titan is the most world eater thing you can do with him. Ethrion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrion Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Still, I might try protecting my XII with their own Warhounds and/or Venators. That seems the most sensible way of engaging Titans. Lord Asvaldir 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi there, now I have to post here too :) I have decided to build up a World Eaters force for the Heresy. But I need a little help/advice. I actual own 2 BaC Boxes, an Leviathan Body, and an Raven Guard Contemptor Body which I plan to convert into WE-Style :) Last but not least, the laser rapier Vindicator, because of style :) So guys now what do you think, will this be a good start? I plan definetly to buy a second Contemptor ( i dont like the plastic BaC ones)and maybe the Red Butchers What do you think would fit in best, mechanised or all by pods? I am afraid about footslogging, too much Dakka out there :) I plan definetly to play the three Bots i like them for their looking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrion Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Perfect start. Footslogging is fine if you have numbers and apothecaries. I run a lot of pods but rhinos and landraiders is also a good way to go. Oh and there's no maybe, Red Butchers are brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
