SonOfThunder Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The list in the first post has razors listed for Tacs, ASM keep their jump packs. Also, the leaks list razors as FA, not HS, don't they?

Bartali Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 To be clear for anyone that missed it, you can't take Razorbacks as dedicated transports for ASM anymore (not even paid for). Morticon's list would work but only because he has no other Heavy support in there (only place to buy razors for ASM now). (Source is 2nd hand but given how many people have the actual book now it seems unlikely to be inaccurate) The same could be done now we can take 5 man tactical squads with a special or heavy weapon, but naturally you don't get the free razor which is half the reason people spammed them anyway right? (nor do they have objective secured unless you forgoe the whole +1 Initiative thing) Maybe I'm wrong but full tac squads in rhino's seems the main way forwards now troop wise, extra bodies seem like they will matter that bit more for contesting and securing (especially vs the standard FOC). Kindof feel like with a couple of other support vehicles (likely baal preds and maybe a vindicator) this approach could make a nice anvil to a jump/pod hammer? Then again if one were to go full mech +1 initiative isn't such a big deal and tactical razorspam might make some sense? (not that I really care I've always been jump pack heavy anyway) The cost of 5 ASM + Razor with Las/Plas or Assault Cannon in the 5th ed codex is exactly the same as 5 Tacticals + Razor with Las/Plas or Assault Cannon in the 7th ed codex. MSU Razors got stronger with the new codex as Tacticals>Walking ASM. However they could of done with a price drop, as Wave Serpents and Tau tend to vapourise them. MSU Razors may be something to come back to after Eldar and Tau have been re-done. People don't tend to take Razors now because of Wave Serpents. However if you don't play against Eldar you'll be fine with them.

simison Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 For my first battle, I was going to let them hoof it. I'm keeping it simple for my first battle with the new codex. 500 points - Baal Strike Force detachment Priest w/JP - 75 pts TAC squad with Grav gun & Grav pistol - 100 pts SG - 165 pts Scout Squad with CC - 55 pts Assault squad, trade JP for Pod with 2 Meltas - 105 points Basic idea is to test out CC scouts, the Priest, and grav weapons (Grav weapons are a rarity in my meta, and will be the first time I use them).

JamesI Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Do you guys think it's better to put tacticals in rhinos or drop pod for general purpose? really depends on the rest of the list. I intend to use Rhinos, for the simple reason that I own rhinos and don't own drop pods.

Defender of the Faith Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Do you guys think it's better to put tacticals in rhinos or drop pod for general purpose? That's basically the issue I'm trying to figure out for my army at the moment. I really like the idea of having fast 24'' moving rhinos to grab objectives but I also ike deep striking a squad directly onto an objective while making use of the flame templates. The rhino on the other hand makes the squad more durable and they're likely to survive a bit longer. I really don't know what to take...

Radiation Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 So do dedicated transports take up a fast slot. If I want a rhino for my tac squad, does the rhino take up a fast slot. Also, assault squads can't take razorbacks as dedicated transports? What the hell.

Also, assault squads can't take razorbacks as dedicated transports? What the hell. dedicated transports do not take up an additional slot. Rhinos/razorbacks/drop pods only take a slot when bought for units that can not take them as dedicated (such as terminators taking a drop pod or if you wanted your scouts to have a rhino) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300228-new-list-thoughts/page/4/#findComment-3889244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiation Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks james, I figured that was how it worked, I just hadn't seen a new codex yet, until today. So, assaults have lost out on being troops as well as loosing razorbacks as dedicated transports. Lol. GG gw.

With the 110 points I could look at dropping the libby and adding dante for some cc support. Against Eldar I'd probably drop all of the melta squads first to de-bus the wave serpents then follow up with the flamer pods. Against hordes it goes the other way. A slight tweak might be to remove one of the ass squad pods, tool up the 5 man tac with 3 meltas and then bring in the anti psyker assassin in a pod. Edit: Actually Meph looks good instead of swapping out the libby for dante but you have to roll for the jump power and then there is the chance of not getting it off. Edit Edit: actually going on 135 pts per ass squad thats 405 pts so i have an addtional 105pts up my sleave. Maybe fill out the tact squad to 10 men or find some more jump packs somewhere.

bis5523 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Do you guys think it's better to put tacticals in rhinos or drop pod for general purpose? I would definitely throw them in a Drop pod for a few reasons: 1. You pick wear it lands(minus the scatter) 2. It is more resilient than a rhino 3. It is cheaper than a rhino 4. "Objective secured" drop pods Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300228-new-list-thoughts/page/4/#findComment-3890288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
