Shaolin_Monkey Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 So flicking through the new rules and it says Techies can take items from the "Relics of Titan" list. The Cuirass of Sacrifice however has a note saying that it replaces the characters TDA. So what are your thoughts? Can I take a Techie with the Cuirass? I know my local casual players will likely let me play it but curious to get a wider response.

HiveFleetKelari Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 My immediate response would be no. But I'm willing to be wrong. Relentless, Deep-striking conversion beamer? Sounds good to me!

Valerian Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Unfortunately no; he has no TDA to replace. I wouldn't sweat it too much, though, as our Techmarine is extremely overpriced for a 1 Wound model.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah our Tech-Marine is very lackluster. We don't field enough vehicles for his repair ability to matter, and he lost all his grenades. He doesn't even have a 2+ invul in melee with the stave anymore. At least we retained the conversion beamer on him, but as others have mentioned, for a 1 wound model 110 points (exactly the price of a Strike squad btw) is a hefty hit.

Happy-inquisitor Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 For a few points more the vindicare outperforms the conversion beam techmarine by a wide margin. The techmarine is only worth considering in a land raider list. I think even then he is too expensive but someone could prove me wrong on the table, it is early days.
