templargdt Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So for Christmas my darling wife gave me a Sicaran, which I really like model wise. How do those of you who own run like to run it (in 40K, specifically.) I'm thinking of the lascannon sponsons and no legacy of glory for pure anti-tank goodness but not too many points. But then for a bit more I can be more effective in the role; should I go big and spend the extra points for tank hunters? Two TFCs cost for a 3 HP tank seems pretty steep.The other configurations seem they could be decent; TLAC and HB stock for the price seems good; 3xHB and the TLAC is more anti-infantry, but for the price again seems pretty decent but a bit of a waste for the TLAC. Anyway, thanks, looking forward to hearing opinions. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303037-running-a-relic-sicaran/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOcaster Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Either configuration is good so make sure you magnetize it to keep your options open. LoG Mars is nice for like you said Tank Hunter, and points will be well worth it. Nothing about a Sicaran is a waste, they are Fast and those are not your everyday auto cannons, TL, rending, ignore jink. It will become a compulsory unit in your army. I have 2 for my 30k army, but they are even better in 40k, being able to take Tank Hunter for a few points is something we don't get in 30k. Also in 40k the ignore jink rule will make many Xeno scoff at you in a, "Well I never" sort of manner. Were I to play a 40k game I would give them LC and LoG Tank Hunter. Congrats on the new relic and I hope you make many a foe weep at the sight of it.

Axagoras Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I run it with armored ceramite and legacy of mars (or sarosh if you need AA) cause tank hunter is amazing on that tank, it will hq out any av 12 3hp vehicle in 1 turn (assuming no cover, but ignoring jink) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303037-running-a-relic-sicaran/#findComment-3940949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ceramite has not made any difference for me. It's easy enough to defend the tank from deepstrikers and it's fast enough to stay out of melta range during later turns. When mine has been destroyed in the two most recent games I played it was by multiple Las cannon shots or high volume of str 7/8 hits from a flyer against it's side armour. Legacy of Mars is really, really useful. The Sarosh legacy is also great and can down a dangerous flyer on the turn it arrives with ease. Overall, great unit.

Acebaur Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Running LC's and the Legacy of Mars takes it to 200 points. Where is the breaking point for the tank do you think for those of you who've played it? Is that too much? Or will it make it's points back? What about running the HB's instead for some AI as well?

Axagoras Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I usually dont take lascannons, but if you need a heavy AT gun then its worth it, epsecially because with lascannons and tank hunter it can kill any vehicle (besides av14) a turn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303037-running-a-relic-sicaran/#findComment-3942702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 200 points is the borderline. There's a big chance your opponents will target it, and end of the day you're only looking at av 13/12/12 and 3HPs...

Kaedes Nex Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The LC sponsons are worth the points and the main turret is too amazing to not use a Legacy of Glory.

shandwen Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 From how the one I had played, the laz cannons can easily makes their worth felt (Pinning demon constructs in cover as they fear the two str9 shots as much as they fear the autocannon). But the bare tank is great too. The main turret is where its value really lives.
