skeletoro Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The topic pretty much says it all. But I am thinking they may be useful to repair Logan's sled. He cannot join them but if he works in close proximity to a unit of TWC...

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I like the idea a lot, and its quite thematic!! Model it up and show us how cool it looks!!

Heimdall Skullcrusher Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Could work. Just to clarify a unit of iron priests would get multiple repair rolls right? Also on a side note multiple iron priests with a unit of servitors would all benefit from the servitors. So you could have a super repair unit assuming you had a need for it.

skeletoro Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hehe. I am actually thinking of building the whole champions of fenris formation to run in a big team game (maybe 8k points and it will have a reader titan). I'll probably add a Company of the Great Wolf detachment with Iron Priests and TWC and a CAD with podding grey hunters (and maybe long fangs and a squad of rapier platforms, plus my other stormGRR). Anyway, i'll make a separate post about that in a bit. But it seems to work, RAW... the iron priests can even repair while locked in combat, maybe? a bit stumped by 'instead of shooting' and need to double check rules for being locked in combat, when I have time. But yeah, he could end up with a sled with IWND and some repair-bots to boot. Hmm! Although it's hard to repair DEAD.

skeletoro Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm sorta thinking servitors lack the mobility to be much use, though perhaps it'd be possible to pop 3 in a drop pod and use them as a kind of drop-in battery. Also i'd imagine fielding units of regular TWC with one, maybe two iron priests attached. I certainly wouldn't build units composed entirely of iron priests. Too expensive, hehe.

Aye but with its 'all penetrating hits count as glancing' rule and with you being able to allocate hits to logan (so if it looks like lots of possible glances, but arent AP2 - stick em on logan) - killing the sled outright in one turn of shooting is gonna be difficult will it not?

Sorry to disapoint you but you cannot repair in closecombat as CC denies you any shooting phase. So cince the repair attempt replaces shooting you cannot repair.

skeletoro Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 It doesn't deny you the phase, it denies you the ability to shoot. Perhaps this denies the ability to repair as that's 'instead' of shooting. Sloppily worded so it's hard to say for sure.

Frater Cornelius Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well, when you are locked in combat you have no shooting that could be replaced with repairs.

skeletoro Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, I gather that's the generally accepted interpretation. Probably RAI. It's a bit vague because I don't think instead necessarily implies trading something in (sometimes it describes a consolation prize situation where you never got the other thing to begin with). Still, I think this could still work quite well. With a couple iron priests floating around, there should often be a priest not locked in combat and able to repair before charging in. As long as Logan isn't swamped, he should be able to be fixed while in combat (as long as the priest isn't). I'm wondering if several smaller units of TWC might work best? 3 TWC + iron priest, plus maybe 2 storm shields. Two or even three of those.

Frater Cornelius Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 That is hardly a 'small' TWC unit. That is serious pressure material you got there, bud :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296826-iron-priests-on-thunderwolves-running-alongside-logan/#findComment-3811742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Relatively small, anyway ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296826-iron-priests-on-thunderwolves-running-alongside-logan/#findComment-3811837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
