BigGumbo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I bought mine because it looks cool and for the surprise effect - "But none of your flyers is any good, so I didn't bring any AA...". I plan to use it with the Avenger against light vehicles/hordes: lots of S6 shots at BS5 seems like a good thing to me. Instant death to T3 IG weapons teams even more so.

Polythemus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 gumbo i know this is slightly off topic but arent weapon crews considered to be the same toughness as the weapons they are crew for, (ergo most crew have T7)?

BigGumbo Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You're correct but I'm referring to the 2 wound heavy weapons teams, as opposed to artillery crew. I don't come up against much in the way of crewed artillery but my regular IG opponent does love his autocannon and mortar teams.

Brother dean Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The new Ork Artillery is going to become more prevalent. Especially with the Traktor kannon having Skyfire.

templarphoenix Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Everyone has different approach to form an army.NJF is not that bad, so if you have one and you really like it, just build an army around NJF and get it on the field everytime.

DA_WarM Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 9 Reasons to use a Nephilim: - You bought it - You bothered to assemble it - You painted it - Looks cool - If we only cared about playing with good/overpowered units we wouldn't/shouldn't be playing DA, would/should we? So go ahed, have fun with it. Use it, learn how to use it, tell us how you have been using it successfully. That's what the hobby is all about: Playing with the stuff we like, not what with the internet says we should. I was discussing with my friends after the game yesterday and you are so right. I'm play for the fluff and I'm not the only one. We might not have the best flyers but I agree with the fact the enemy will oversee it and let you play your game. The Avenger Mega-Bolter would be my option here. Unless you want to bring an AP2 skyfire weapon which would force your opponent to use its jink...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It's a good choice. You'll have good anti infantry and you glance light vehicles to death in one shooting phase.
