Rurik the blessed Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hello brothers! we are just at few days of the official skitarii codex release, and some rules and units are leaked, so... what do you think about these new codex would they fit into our lists? I found the Rangers, the perfect addition to my GK list... cheap and powerful. here some links http://imgur.com/a/4glCx http://imgur.com/a/sdI89#O7lR6GH http://i.imgur.com/BajLJy7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305124-skitarii-with-grey-knights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zembar Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, I'm already planning on buying a bunch of rangers. I can't wait to see what else they can bring. Rangers with arc rifles=yum. The part I'm most interested in now is the availability of transports. That can make or break them. (Or we could bring tons of BA pods and share with them as well) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305124-skitarii-with-grey-knights/#findComment-3987310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wow, they went all out with the John Carter, Warlord of Mars theme. It would be worth it to get this codex just for classic Sci-Fi nostalgia. I'm going to have to craft a nearly nude female HQ named Déjà Thoris, just because.

Gentlemanloser Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Oh hai, it's our old Stormtroopers. Edit: Do not like that Dragoon. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305124-skitarii-with-grey-knights/#findComment-3987337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Conversion field /sigh. Please get someone with a brain to read your rules GW. So the *wearer* of the Conversion field *and* whatever unit he is in also make the blind save... Ugh.

I'm more worried about the effect of Rad-saturation on the unit and friendlies..

Prot Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wow, these guys look best off on their own. I can see most competitive players might just hook up with these guys, and ally an assault unit (if needed) from some other codex. A GK Termie squad and Libby would probably be all you need. But again, not sure if you'll even need it with cheap AV 11 walkers with built in cover. If that's a taste of the army I have to say it looks like 'techie IG'. It's not as... junky as IG (good stats all around) but not as pricey pointswise as I thought it might be.

Zembar Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think they bring a good amount of shootiness for their cost. 500 points will buy a fair bit of at the very least moderately scary mid-to-long-range firepower, giving them the choice of trying to get to and kill our skitarii or our GK units. The rangers come with 30" s4 ap4 rapir-fire precision shot guns, which should help us with necrons...

Gentlemanloser Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think that's intentional, hence why they write that friendlies get to reroll the save. I'd assume that would be for seperate squads standing next to the unit in question. Not for the dude wearing the Conversion Field himself. Back in RT you could ignore the blind if you had auto reactive sensors (IIRC). Which all SM PA did.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I dunno guys. I mean, AV11 is...not that tough, even with built in 5+ cover. As for the infantry, they do bring a lot of plasma firepower at short range, but their rad-aura is annoying if you wanna attach our characters to them, and they're just Stormtroopers with 6+ FNP at the end of the day. I do like their guns though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305124-skitarii-with-grey-knights/#findComment-3988901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zembar Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Okay, I need those dune crawlers in my life. AA won't be an issue ever again. And the "tax" for them are two cheap troops with great shooting options. I just got some new best friends for my GK.
