Wrath of Humanity Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What is better to use for sniping from behind the Aegis Defence Line, 10 scouts with sniper rifles(140) or a vindicate assassin(150). Is there a third choice? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300594-whats-better/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well that's entirely wide open and highly variable.... Without being ultra specific, it's impossible to answer... But I'd say, if you're going against an enemy that'll get close fast, the scouts. If you're against a distance player, then the vindicare as he's 72" range.

raverrn Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ten scouts as they'll survive longer and can hold an objective pretty well. But I don't see what this has to do with GK...?

Bionicman Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 15 ratlings...not. What you gonna use sniper for? Its obvious that the damage output in wounds is higher with 10 scouts and the vindicare can snipe characters, vehicles and abilities better.

jeffersonian000 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The best Sniper GK have is a DreadKnight with Heavy Psycannon, because its a character, super tall, and has enough shots to get a Precise Shot through most of the time. And because a DK modeled with an extended barrel H Psycan with Scope held as a rifle is just too awesome to pass up.

But they still have 6 shots, and an additional 12 if you go Gatling.

Everon Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes it does. Look in the codex at him very carefully, in the parts no one ever looks at.

Gaz1858 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Personally ive had the same idea and I would say 5 - 10 scouts your call with snipers and one flakk ml. 5 should be fine with camo cloaks as you want to keep the maj of your points for our expensive GK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300594-whats-better/#findComment-3894804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Caloth Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Raverrn, if I had my codex on me, I wouldn't need to ask, and I don't ask pointlessly. As a character, he does indeed get precision shot. :cuss, people, I swear, I go away for a month and everyone suddenly thinks snarky is the only way to reply on this forum....

You see, you CLAIM to own a codex and a rulebook. But if you did you'd know characters don't have precision anymore.
