Hesh Kadesh Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Glad to hear you get the updated Trait, sadly per RAW he gets the Acute Senses - not bad in itself but without other useful infiltrators (recon squads already have it IIRC) it can be a waste. Much rather infiltrate shooty units like HSS's. How do you deal with Contemptors or Deredeos etc?

SkimaskMohawk Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I actually emailed FW about this; they want him to have the one thats written there, not the current Master of Ambush. Unfortunately RAW and RAI its the Acute Senses Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308805-martian-death-ray-club/page/13/#findComment-4122638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

foto69man Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Well RAW/the way they wrote it is one of the first flubs I've really noticed from FW as most everyone locally reads it straight as:First lines says he has Master of Ambush without rollingNext line he gives friendly units Outflank as long as he's alive. Are they going to FAQ that? Should have called it something other than Master of Ambush then so no confusion. Elsewise...no infiltrating Volkite Culverns!!! Boo...

Hesh Kadesh Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We too change it to play like that (one of these days, I must get around to putting down a list of houserules on here we use), but yes, sadly. This is what comes from FW's rules writers not actually knowing their game.

SkimaskMohawk Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yea FW has the tendency of giving a unit a USR, then giving the then current definition of it next to it. This ofc leads to confusion when the edition changes and the USR is changed, like this case.

Emperors Teeth Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Bahahaaaa. We can only dream. More likely to get the Chierovile or Demi-culverin in a turret, though.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Bahahaaaa. We can only dream. More likely to get the Chierovile or Demi-culverin in a turret, though. To be quite honest, I was pretty skeptical at the whole idea of mounting this size weapon on the Sicaran hull, but it's actually mentioned in IA:2 Volume 2 that there 'may' have been Sicaran variants armed with Volkite Carronades - okay, so it may well have just been a typo on the variant of Volkite weapon intended, but damn it if I'm not gonna use that single reference as an excuse to make an utterly outlandish vehicle concept :P foto69man 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308805-martian-death-ray-club/page/13/#findComment-4145758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stofficus Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's...... so beautiful. In other news, I built my first CHOOM squad today; 10 Veletaris ready for action. Tomorrow they may get their first opportunity to CHOOM something, provided the dice gods are with me.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Brothers I am in need of your Choomful advice. I have been contemplating starting a 30k army for a long time and just cant decide which legion, now after again reading over Volkites in the LACAL book and then stumbling upon this thread I'm convinced! It will be an army of pure choom, no model shall be permitted unless it creates the holiest of noises and chooms as it shoots! Now onto the advice part I still cant decide what legion to aim for, I am looking at some Terminators for my compulsory troops slots (PotL of course) and then filling in the choom from there. Have been tempted by Iron Hands, just for an excuse to play loyalists for a change, plus they fit the whole "lots of rare tech from the mechanicum" angle. So help me out, what legion Chooms better than the others?

Olis Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Personally, I'd say the 'who' is tied directly to the 'when'. I think the specific Legion does not matter (although, let's be fair, the Iron Hands are not a bad choice at all) - if you create an early(ish) GC army, then volkites were a lot thicker on the ground than at the later stages or even in the HH itself. I humbly suggest that you go with whatever Legion you fancy and the specific reasoning can come later. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308805-martian-death-ray-club/page/13/#findComment-4146130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolin_Monkey Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah, I'm leaning that way anyway. Might have to add one or two characters without the choominess though I think sadly. gonna steer away from the PotL rite of war though so I can add in some Solar Auxilla allies - massed cheap troops with Volkite Chargers and some Leman Russ Incinerators with their delicious Twin Linked Volkite Demi Culverins (including a tank commander) are just too good to pass up for some fire support and numbers. I'll be back once the orders start to arrive, now to the FW site!
