ElectricPaladin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah bashing the enemies of man with a young space wolf is always fun. More seriously though, am I missing something? AFAIK the current blood talon rules are S user (6), AP 1, whereas the Blood Fist rules are S 2*user (10) AP 1. What's the point of using a single blood talon? The extra attacks only kick in if the dreadnought has a pair of blood talons. It still has the Shred USR. For the last couple of editions, Shred (rerolling failed To-Wound rolls) has been a quality of lightning claws even when wielded singly. The same appears to be true of blood talons.

Quixus Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah I forgot about shred. Additionally Blood Talons are not AP 1 but AP 3 (as lightning claws). So rerolls and less AP and only instant death on T3 models vs AP2 and and ID up to T 5. I'd take the single Blood Fist.

Leonaides Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is a good point. My bad, should have rectified the loadout rather than commenting on the presented options...

Helias_Tancred Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 So as a newbie still learning optimum setups, the bloodfists would be a better choice ... or if using the frag cannon the single blood fist is a better choice than the single blood talon? Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299898-my-first-ba-army-is-formed-advice-on-its-str-and-weakness/page/2/#findComment-3881231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaweda Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'd say with the new codex that a single blood talon would be the better choice.
