The 339th Armageddon Steel Legion "The Iron Heads" WIP

[duz_]

With the current state Armageddon finds itself in, it would seem flamers would be the most appropriate to purge the daemon incursion and finish those orks once and for all!

 

Also because flamers rules right now are awesome and you have the other bases covered.

 

Alternatively you could magnetise them! ;)

 

Stay dry down there!

Thanks duz

 

I'm not big on magnets I am leaning towards flamers. But do I equip all 9 that way or what

[duz_]

Oh I read your first post as you'd already built the first 6 as 3x autocannons and 3x lascannons.

If you haven't then I'd say autocannons still seem to make sense and maybe multi lasers for volume of shots + cost vs lascannons? That way you have some variety.

 

All 9 with heavy flamers would be scary and very points heavy but I think would still do well if you were ok dropping that many points into them.

I built them but I could rearm them if it would be better. I am torn on armaments. I mean heavy flamers would be nasty. But would multi lasers be better than autocannon or lascannon. I'm trying to built a decent list. I usually play big games. Example I'm looking at using them all in a game. I'm trying to rebuild all of my army. I have been trying to built units to make them most versatile and useful.

Well if youre down for redoing the weapons and play large games I'd make them all flamers then

[steellegionnaire85]

So how are double flamer Chimeras. Do they work well. And do they hold their own in battle. I only ask as most of my Chimeras have multi lasers or heavy bolter with hull heavy bolter. I have two more Chimeras to build and was thinking about double heavy flamers on them. Is this viable, or worth while.

There was some discussion on it here

You could always magnetise for ultimate flexibility! ;)

What do you guys think of this. I'm thinking my armored fist squads are going to become key to making Steel Legion Armies rapid response style tactics. I think it will be very fluffy. I'm stoked for the codex. How do you guys feel this will help out.

Looks quite appropriate for the Steel Legion, I think the vehicle bonus might be the real winner in keeping your armour trucking as only more specialised AT weapons and the like will start reducing their saves.

[Tyr13]

Not sure I agree... Most people would be using dedicated AT anyway. Its just another nail in the coffin for autocannons. And apart from those, there really arent that many AT weapons with AP1 around... :/

[steellegionnaire85]

I'm not to worried about the vehicle rules. I'm just glad we got what we did it's about time my units are as effective as the fluff shows. I'm excited to play with the new rules. I'm trying to get my vehicles ready to roll out. I only with I had know flamers would be as useful as they are in 8th when I built them.

Getting the band back together.  I have reopened the book that is the 339th

[TheArtilleryman]

Jeez that is a lot of tanks. Official, 3D printed or a mixture?

[steellegionnaire85]

Only parts 3d printed.  The armageddon pattern medusa are forge world guns 3d printed casements and the hydra/wyvern hulls are 3d copies of hydra from forgeworge with gw wyvern guns magnetized.  They started off as real wyverns from gw I just want to keep the armageddon theme.  I couldn't stand how fragile the wyvern were from gw

[BrutalCities]

Post more pls! I'm in the process of redoing my also, ancient force. Have you used them in any of the recent editions?

[Galron]

I thought I was rocking a lot of Chimeras, I think you got me beat. But no Centaurs or Gorgons in sight :P  Nice parking lot you got there. While normally I hate air brushes, I think if I had that many in my gray legion I would have go through the effort to pull mine out or I would go crazy having to do it with a brush.
