Toldavf Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 So 7th has seen something of a boom for super heavies being fielded more often in regular games and I'm wondering about how its effecting other marine players and how they are/ are planning to cope with it. As a quick elite army we have several options for "Titan Busting" but I'd like to hear from the community and maybe get more perspective on the most effective ways to drop um.

minigun762 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Now that SD weapons aren't 100% death sentences for any type of vehicle, a few Land Raiders with TH/SS Terminators could work fairly well. Mass Vanguard Veterans with Storm Shields and Meltabombs Mass Sternguard with Combi-Melta in Drop Pods Mass IF Devastators with Lascannons Storm Ravens Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296992-titan-slaying/#findComment-3814211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Ignore it. Kill the whole rest of his army and win on objectives. If it's an all-Knight army. . . why are you playing this guy in the first place?

frostbite Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 How do you propose ignoring a titan? A Warhound with a plasma blastgun and a pair of turbo-lasers will be killing two units/vehicles a turn, anywhere on the board. A solitary knight, you probably could ignore, but anything more than that needs to be dealt with, or it'll just wreck your army. Personally I think the Cerberus is a great shout, with its shock pulse reducing the target to snap shots with a successful penetrating hit.

SonofTitan117 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I know someone who went up against an all knight list today and did just fine, winning the game in the end in fact. Im looking at you Basswave. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296992-titan-slaying/#findComment-3814561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axagoras Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 well the main thing to remember when fighting a all knight list is either you can handle the D or you cant handle the D... and if you can handle it then its gonna be a short game.

Toldavf Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I was talking more about real titans like the warhound. The knight is nothing to be sniffed at but its not packing guns of sillyness.

Im looking at you Basswave.DEF, don't tell me you are getting soft and fleshy on me. ;) Fighting a knight house is intimidating yes, but its not at all cheesy or broken as you make it sound. I brought my all comers 30k X legion list and did just fine as SonofTitan mentioned. MVP was my Praetor in terminator armor with chainfist, slaying two knights single handedly in close combat :D I had a lot of fun and got to fight all the knights that have been released thus far. I run a tank army so having all that fire power helped. My strategy was weaken a knight with shooting, then cut him down in cc with chainfist terminators. Rinse, repeat. The only one I didn't dare challenge in cc was the Lancer, for obvious reasons. So I just shot him down.

Toldavf Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think I'll stick with the cerberus some of the other options seem viable but none are quite so reliable I think.

Montuhotep Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Cerberus or Falchion. The only thing better than an obscenely powerful gun is more of them.

Montuhotep Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If IA: 13 has the Cerberus with the 40k stamp in it, it's legal. Yet such has always been the dilemma because FW is not written in stone in the same way that GW is.

Jolemai Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Correct. Sadly, the Falchion only has 30k rules which means it could only appear in Apocalypse - but that's a different discussion.
