Captain Coolpants Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ally with a space marine dex like most of us are being forced too anyway. Use the forgeword Land Raider Proteus with an Explorator Augury Web! The rules for the Proteus auguary web; "While the Proteus is on the table, at the start of any of the controlling player's turn, before any reserve rolls are made, you may declare the auguries are being used in either Disruption or Relay mode, their effect lasting until their next player turn. Disruption Mode: Opposing force suffers -1 to Reserve rolls in their next player turn. Relay Mode: Controlling player's Reserve rolls may be re-rolled. Additional Explorator Augury Webs have no effect and only one mode may be chosen a turn. Proteus with an Explorator Augury Web gains Scout and has Transport Capacity reduced to 8." So as long as the raider isn't in any kind of reserve itself, it can let you re-roll your reserve dice! So what you guys think? I'm not missing anything am I?

raverrn Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 S...sure, I suppose. If you want to blow a lot of points on Allies and a not-all-that-great Land Raider. Or for 70 points you could buy an Aegis defense line with a Comms Relay and get the same bonus. 5 points more gets you a Wall of Martyrs bunker that's AV14 4HP with the same bonus.

Brom MKIV Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Your not missing anything but I'm with Raverrn, even though I like the proteus. Now if you already plan to take a godhammer anyway then the proteus looks a lot more appealing. But just for reserves manip nah. Just put something with shunt/GoI on a comms and call it good.

Captain Coolpants Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Damn! Lol. I haven't got the fortifications book. I've seen the coms relay though, I just thought a mobile platform that can also transport would be far more useful than a stationary aegis line for us, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297894-finally-a-way-to-get-first-turn-deepstrike-manipulation/#findComment-3832139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I've seen the coms relay though, I just thought a mobile platform that can also transport would be far more useful than a stationary aegis line for us, Nah. Comms Relay is dirt cheap, 70pts is easily affordable. 250pts is not, especially when you still need min HQ and Troops to unlock it anyway.
