Praefectus Invictus Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 do the dc have power fists, power weapons or infernus pistols? i usually run 10 dc with power fist power weapon and 2 infernus pistols in a land raider crusader, if i have the points i will get some a chaplain/reclusiarch, and eventually more dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardsmenBob Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 no I feel it would be a point sink due to the fact that they tear something apart and then get immediately get gunned downed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Invictus Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 most people run them with 2 infernus pistols and a power fist/axe. this is the most effective combination and has worked for alot of the people on this forum, or so i have read, and it also works for me.

Cronhour Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Drop pod with bolters, power swords and fists' throw them down turn 1 with furiosos at a sternguard unit with corbs/priest. 20 FnP marines in their backfield turn one tends to make ppl scramble.

thebymster Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I took 7 in a storm raven the other week- against a 30k Death Guard army who I rightly suspected of bringing all termis. I put 3 fists in there and a Plas Pistol (for range) had rechlusiarch in Termi with a combi Plas. Piling them into a unit of 10 termis (can't remember what flavour) who'd just gunned down 3 Sang guard was the most fun I've had on the board for ages! Entire termi squad gone, Rech and 3 DCo consolidating on towards the next, quaking, target! Sounds like you got it pretty sussed: got assault transport to deliver them. Unless you're up against hoards of Nids or orks or 30k tac squads of 20 I would'nt see the need for 10 in squad, unless you wanna get 2 DCo dreads on board. It that much point just for an extra infernus. Put a multi melta on LR if you're serious about blowing tanks up. You've even identified the Down side: if you have 10, after the first skirmish there is so much untapped potential sitting in the middle of the board getting shot to ribbons! What are you usually facing? Why you wanna use them? how you use them will be key. They can be used to brig Down big stuff, draw fire from more fragile units or sneaky ones. Why jot Go the whole hog: proxy astorath and some jump pack DCo, split the 10 into 2 x 5 and fly some DCo dreads in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I usually run them like this 15 death company 1 chaplin land raider crusader You're using them just fine. I'd get some higher strength weapons in there to deal with tougher targets. something like 1 fist per 5 guys is a decent ratio. In a 15 man unit, perhaps 2 fists and one axe? You can probably get 3 infernus pistols in there too, and then one on the chaplain if you want to pop transports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
