appiah4 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Had a spare Frag Cannon lying about.. painted it up and now one of my two dreadnoughts is a Furioso. That means I'm just one tactical squad short of fielding a demi company. And I happen to have one primed.. In other news, I have no idea why the hell I even want to field a demi company.. Because it is the iconic image of space marines... and blood angels are still space marines 3 units of tacticals, cassor, another dread, an assault and devastator squad (along with 2HQ) fit into a CAD and BSF equally well, and net you Ob sec on your tacs and red thirst on cassor and your assault marines. Its pretty much my plan though Ill replace cassor with scouts and take a regular Furioso instead.. Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen IX Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Forgive me if this has been very obvious all along. But has anyone thought of pairing Karlean with the OIF? Obviously he is the HQ from another detachment, but stick him in the tactical terminator squad (if yours aren't all assault) and he makes a great pairing. Sure he won't shoot twice, but seriously who cares. So many ideas for this upcoming Red Thirst campaign. Wish I had a third Stormraven actually, because at 2500pts I might be able to legitimately run Dante's Avenging Host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Gunzhard Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah I've been planning to run the old Archangels Strike Force, with Karlaen... doing just that. The ASF also has Sterngaurd and Fragioso in pods coming in turn 1 with locator beacons. :) Rafen IX 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm too afraid to take the OIF (not that I've even tried it yet) without Karl... But my rolling is terrible, so I'm worried about having 600+ points stuck in reserves after I fail the roll on turn two.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Gunzhard Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) The other option is the Aegis line with comms relay. If you also field the 10th co formation your snipers with cloaks can sit behind the line with a 2+ cover. The scout bikes with locator beacons from that formation also have good synergy with OIF. If in Lost Bro gladius you get an extra move too. Edited October 6, 2016 by Chaplain Gunzhard BAjim 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen IX Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Well I took it with an aegis/comms versus the new chaos decurion. Deep striking assaulting terminators are utterly brutal. I used locator beacons on a pod and scouts. That recon force is an unsung hero. Our scouts can be scary and they synergise really well with all of our deep strikers.

Kasper_Hawser Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Wave? or no wave? Try making him look straight forward instead of upward and pointing the bolter straight as well. Then put the fingers pointing on the ground. Will look more better I think. Edited October 7, 2016 by Kasper_Hawser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon Nightman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I was going to just have it pointing down, but noticed it looks like he is waving when it's up. I think it might be too funny to not do now... He isn't glued l together yet so I will be fixing the bolter and head, I just wanted to figure out how I should position the PF for now.

Charlo Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I like it down, but that's me - always liked that sort of pose. Well I took it with an aegis/comms versus the new chaos decurion. Deep striking assaulting terminators are utterly brutal. I used locator beacons on a pod and scouts.That recon force is an unsung hero. Our scouts can be scary and they synergise really well with all of our deep strikers. Yeah all good points. The OIF is big, nasty and expensive but you can utterly crush a flank or shut down the shooting of 3+ units with it. Not much can touch terminators in close combat - especially THSS ones. Ultimate Rip-Tide removal system. It's actually made me really glad I splurged on Terminators over the past year. Like I posted on the previous page - you can take 3 Tactical terms, the Triple Raven formation and double tap then assault from Deep Strike - absolutely monstrous.

Damon Nightman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Yeah that was my initial thought, it looks way more serious/badass down. But that wave though... Sorry Jol! I should probably read the rules.... Isn't it worse this way? Should I edit it out?

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Like I posted on the previous page - you can take 3 Tactical terms, the Triple Raven formation and double tap then assault from Deep Strike - absolutely monstrous. I gotta admit that idea kinda feels like shenanigans to me. Rules wise it's somewhat questionable no? ...though I guess there is nothing technically preventing it from happening; and then so they assault without a 'disordered charge' too? If GW was more responsive regarding rules questions and more responsible with rules interactions to begin with, I could see this definitely being shut-down - if only because they've recently put a lot of effort into this 'ok assault out of DS but it is disordered' concept.

Seems legal to me. Trouble is 1) you need to be able to pull if off (see draft FAQ) and 2) you need to roll that 3+ for the Angel's Fury on the first turn. Otherwise...

Jolemai Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) As for avoiding a disordered charge, in this scenario you'd want to perform a multicharge (and thus a disordered charge) because after double tapping there might not be much left (read as: shot to bits next turn).

Damon Nightman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Wave? or no wave? So 3 votes for, 2 against the wave. Anyone else want to chime in before i make my waving (or not) DC maniac? Yes I quoted my own post, big whoop wanna fight about it?

Damon Nightman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Death Company power fist man number 3 is my current name for him... I'm leaning towards magnetizing it so I can have my cake and wave at people too.., I like the idea of him seeing Horus and giving him a nice wave before blowing his head off with the bolter...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I guess my thought process is most of your other marines are more serious and intimidating, the wave would be a stark contrast to the whole of your army and feels so out of place in my opinion. That being said, that's just my view on things. Let him slap Horus one good time with the powerfist before being torn asunder.
