templargdt Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Anyone using Mortis Contemptors for AAA? I'm trying to decide between the Lascannons and Kheres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbite Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I run a Contemptor Mortis with twin Kheres and a cyclone for AA. The thing is devastating thanks to the rate of fire on the kheres cannon. I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedes Nex Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I've heard people say the LC arms aren't worth it. I would have said the same, but lately I've been warming up to LCs and put them on everything even if they are overpriced, due to the presence of things like Knights and the new vehicle penetration chart. It used to be the choice was between AsC and ACs. If you want longer range, choose autocannons. If you are confident you can stay around in the midfield with your Contemptor, choose the Kheres. You should always take the ML regardless but I don't due to points and I dislike the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickeh Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I have two fully magnetised contemptors, if you've never magnetised a model before they're a really easy place to start, and benefit more than most other models to boot. Kheres pattern assault cannons are my go-to choice as well, but it depends on what else is in your list, as you have to be standing still to gain the skyfire rule. If the only other armour you have in your list is tri-las predators in your deployment zone, then consider the Lascannon arms instead - armour saturation is only relevant if your opponent has more than 1 target in range.

Brother Angorax Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have two fully magnetised contemptors, if you've never magnetised a model before they're a really easy place to start, and benefit more than most other models to boot. Kheres pattern assault cannons are my go-to choice as well, but it depends on what else is in your list, as you have to be standing still to gain the skyfire rule. Magnets are the way to go for this model. I have KACs and Autocannons and I have had a lot of luck dropping my AC mortis in the enemy deployment zone with the forgeworld droppod (gives shrouded and you don't need to leave it when it lands) this means that you have a dread in place for skyfire when his flyers come in from reserve and in most cases you'll be hitting the rear armor.
