DanPesci Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ulric for me is the best force multiplier option we have. Sit him in a rhino/razorback, keep that razorback within 6" of 2-3 units (not too hard to do), and they all get pref enemy. Simple, and lots of rerolls. Works well with a firebase (see my post above), although is slightly harder to keep the 6" formation if you were using him as say a multiplier on assault troops going forward. I was thinking about HB LF's but I had not taken it that far Danpesci. That's a really good set up on first glance. Thanks for sharing. No worries ;) If anything rolling 15 dice on your 'to hits' is just damn fun. Especially when you are rerolling any 1s (on hits and wounds!). Dakka!

Karack Blackstone Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Here's a thought to have picked apart, improved upon, what have you: WP RP (can they get to Relentless?) 6 strong LF Pack w/ 5 HB's DP Feedback?

Rift Blade Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 If you're going that far, why not put the LF Ancient in TDA? 5 HB's you're probably not going to split fire.

The only way they can get Relentless is by rolling Endurance on Biomancy.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Has anyone had luck with the banners on the grey hunters? I'm thinking of trying one on a pack that would be behind a Terminator shooty squad led by Ulric, with hopefully the other pack kept in close Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301657-my-fellow-vlka-let-us-confer-on-a-rethink-of-our-forces/page/3/#findComment-3918958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way they can get Relentless is by rolling Endurance on Biomancy. Yeah, unfortunately its just not reliable enough for me to put points for 2 characters into it. If anything, id keep it to just the wolf priest or just a rune priest with prescience. Either way, you should still get a few hits the turn you arrive as your putting out 15 shots (plus whatever the squad leader has). It would be interesting to see that come down alongside say 2 grey hunter squads, but the problem is gonna be having it not shot to pieces before it can shoot at its full potential.

I'm thinking of trying one on a pack that would be behind a Terminator shooty squad led by Ulric, with hopefully the other pack kept in close Ive only ever taken on in a large points game where i had the leftover points. +1 attack can be ok, but then you can only put it on grey hunters, which arent the most assault orientated unit we have. Would have loved to be able to take this on wolf guard, but yeah...its ok...just cna be difficult o reliably getting it off on more than one unit at a time (cant remember off the top of my head if its 6" or 12"?? - and if its done by model or unit?) i could see it work well on a tightly packed drop pod assault though - but you'll have to drop and wait a turn before getting to use its effects (ie no assault turn you arrive) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301657-my-fellow-vlka-let-us-confer-on-a-rethink-of-our-forces/page/3/#findComment-3919079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I used the Banner with Ulric and Harald. Then I had to explain that eacb TWC was hitting with 7A S6 Rending WS5 and FenWolves hitting with 4A S5. Everyone with PE. He was not very amused ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301657-my-fellow-vlka-let-us-confer-on-a-rethink-of-our-forces/page/3/#findComment-3919086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well Terminators with Pe nad 3a led by Ulric and a biomancy priest should be a good counter a great unclean on ha :P I've got two of the old meta model so am glad it sounds like it is useable in this codex.
