Riot Earp Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Love Bolter Devs. Some nice painting. Gonna build some too. Wonder how to use them proper. Thought about Skyhammer Annihilation Force. What are other good uses for them? Lord Leonatos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Love Bolter Devs. Some nice painting. Gonna build some too. Wonder how to use them proper. Thought about Skyhammer Annihilation Force. What are other good uses for them? Depends on role. Lascannons murder tanks, and heavy bolters are cheap and mulch men. Â Plasma cannons turn them into a big threat for the opponents big guys so are a nice distraction. Â Multi Melta don't work outside of sky hammer and missiles are a tad middle of the road, but okay for smaller games without much AV14/13. Â Probably the best way to play Devs is ally them in though, doctrines are nice as are tank hunting imperial Fists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thank you Charlo, Â Considered to play H-Bolterdevs as Imperial Fists. But i want to know hows the best tactic for bolterdesv. OBjektive sitting? Full frontal? Hope for infiltrate on the tac-chart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Even the Star Wars bedspread? Nice. Sadly, no - although I did have A New Hope one when I was a kid... CaptainHelion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Â Even the Star Wars bedspread? Nice. Sadly, no - although I did have A New Hope one when I was a kid... Â Mine was a birthday present this year. What does a 24 year old need with a Star Wars bedspread you may ask? Everything, I reply. Â Â Today I sprayed a few models, including a BA Terminator Librarian, to go with my BaC Terminators! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015  That hand flamer squad is amazing, Charlo! That would be insane with hit and run.  Guess I'll need to add in a White Scar something/ Dante   When I saw it the first time I instantly wanted to make a similar squad of footsloggers with Cypher thrown in there for all the gunslinging ever.

Charlo Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So we have a new bundle on the store...  Strike Force Cryptus  Led the noted Blood Angels Captain Karlaen, Strike Force Cryptus was a group of dedicated warriors deployed as and when they were needed during the Cryptan War; held in reserve until dire circumstances dictated their need. An aggressive force exemplifying sheer strength and ferocity, they were an indispensable squad of the Blood Angels’ finest, accompanied by some of their brethren stricken by the Black Rage.  This is an absolutely crushing bundle, ideal for use alongside the story and rules laid out in Shield of Baal: Exterminatus as well as ordinary games of Warhammer 40,000! It contains a Blood Angels Terminator Captain, a five-man Blood Angels Terminator Assault Squad, a Blood Angels Terminator Librarian, a Sanguinary Priest, a Land Raider Crusader, a Blood Angels Jump Pack Chaplain, a five-man Death Company, a Death Company Dreadnought and a Stormraven. http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99020101107_StrikeForceCryptus01.jpg  It's a nice collection of models, shame though with 3HQ choices it's unusable outside of two detachments etc  I mean... Cool? I'm not even sure where the priest is meant to go... I suppose with the terms in the raider with Karlaen and the Libby.  Sadly the wording makes me think this isn't a formation :( probably won't even have off-hand rules for Karlaen.  Thoughts fellow sons of The Angel?

Blindhamster Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Seems pretty useless tbh, the models don't make sense unless they get a way to be used together easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah it's not a force I would field unless it was a formation that gave some really nice buffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 ...almost completely pointless. Â Love that Chaplain though. Â EDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 There's not even any saving over buying the models individually, so I think it is completely pointless!  £20 captain £20 chaplain £35 termies £28 dread £50 stormraven £20.50 death company £18 priest £18 libby £45 land raider  = £254.50 Xenith, DarkMark and Landrick 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yep, that bundle is a complete waste. Â From this I do expect Advent calendar rules for Karlaen, and hopefully a special priest and Chaplain! Â BA Wise, I've got the base coats down on my Sternguard. Next is shades and highlights, then taking the wings up to white from the grey base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 No work done on my BA today unfortunately, despite having so much part painted. Today was all about DIY, shopping and El Classico - although I did pre-order the new Chaplain as part of the shopping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I mean... Cool? I'm not even sure where the priest is meant to go... I suppose with the terms in the raider with Karlaen and the Libby. Â Â I think so. Crusader allows 16 models or 8 terminators. You get 7 terminator models and the priest. Which makes sense because then you load up the 6 jump pack units in the raven with the dreadnought. So you have two transport loot pinatas for people to pop open and a lot of points that will die immediately when they are deployed. Sounds about right for GW logic.

sockwithaticket Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Today I finished the body of the Chaplain I started assembling in response to GWs new release:http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/21/758938_sm-.JPGhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/21/758939_sm-.JPGhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/21/758940_sm-.JPGhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/21/758941_sm-.JPGhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/21/758942_sm-.JPG Jønke 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-soul Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited)   It's a nice collection of models, shame though with 3HQ choices it's unusable outside of two detachments etc  Actually  it's even  4 -Karlean -Librarian -Sanguinary priest -Chaplain  But shame that there is no actual money saving and a whole 76 pounds for 4 infantry miniatures! it's almost a price of a knight!  And, if we look in deep we need a new FOC not a bunch of another useless formations :/ I  want to have at least a 3 priest, 2 librarians and just then start to look at a named characters.  All the BA uniqeness now pushed into HQ section wich is super-tight.

LutherMax Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So is there actually a Formation in Exterminatus that makes use of all this together..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015    It's a nice collection of models, shame though with 3HQ choices it's unusable outside of two detachments etc   Actually it's even 4  Yeah I realised that later - didn't count the chaplain as he just blended into the DC   So is there actually a Formation in Exterminatus that makes use of all this together..?  Nope. Or if there is, it's not on 1D4chan or anywhere else online...  If I didn't have Karlaen, multiple Chaplains, Dreads out the wazoo or a Raven and a Caestus already I'd consider it (hell I have an old school Libby Term I'm gunna use too) - but all of it's "unique" features are just available elsewhere... For the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
