Jb_HiFi Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Fast deployment for one of the vet squads, so they can blow up a high av target, it also lets me use deep strike on my gal Vorbak with no scatter since they have a vox Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312324-1850-30k-word-bearers-cc-appreciated/#findComment-4145258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainMachete Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Where are you planning on putting Erebus & your chaplain? You can't fit them in the drop pod unless you loose some vets. If you need to free up some points the chaplain upgrade isn't strictly necessary for your Centurion (particularly if you end up putting the chaplain and Erebus in the same squad). Or you could keep the chaplain upgrade and replace Erebus with Zardu Layek for some daemon summoning fun (your nuncio vox's work for summoning/deep striking daemons as well as deep striking Gal Vorbak). The Gal Vorbak Darjk Martyr works better with a power fist rather than a power weapon. But giving one of your other Gal Vorbak a power maul is always a good idea (or two of them if you can manage to find the points for a 10 man squad). Having a hunter-killer missile on a Venator isn't very useful since the main gun is ordnance and you'll need to snap-fire the missile. I know it's extra insurance against a weapon-destroyed result, but so are heavy bolter sponsons and they give better protection (two of them) and are generally more useful, but still a waste of time on a Venator in my opinion. I'm also not sure how useful the Hellstrike missiles on the Fire Raptor are since they are ordnance too. Haven't played with a Fire Raptor myself but most people just seem to avoid them.

Jb_HiFi Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. I swapped erebus for Zardu, and made the chaplain just a centurion, but gave him burning lore. Good points on the hellstrike missiles and the hunter killer as well. With the points I've saved overall I was able to add a tenth member to the gal vorback and gave the martyr a power fist over the mace. Now I just need to find the points to give the gal vorback a couple extra maces and I should be good to go Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312324-1850-30k-word-bearers-cc-appreciated/#findComment-4154153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
