Brofist Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I really do try to keep the cost down, but mine usually clock in around 250 point or so. Closer to 200 if I really specialize them into a role. It's easy to overspend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilofix Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 What LoW is everyone using (if any) at 3K (750 LoW)? If been using Atropos but I haven't really tried or thought through the other 40K LoWs (Stormlord?) that are available to Reductor. And what about Porpyhrion? Thanks for the opinions.

Realistically the best LOW option is a warhound but is generally regarded as rather unbalanced especially at 3k. Knights can be good the Porphyrion is okay I'm not sure it's worth it vs the warhound though. The D ordinatus is also not a bad option it has a really high damage output and is unkillable for the first few turns. It's worse than the Ullator but I wouldn't underestimate the ability of the huge machine killer D template in removing a deathstars on a good role or a tank company.

Withershadow Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You answered your own question, the Warhound's profile is pretty outrageous for even 40K, much less 30K, so of course not much is "worth it" in comparison. The Porphyrion is a better choice because it's basically 4 medusas for roughly the cost of 4 medusas with a twist. fedratsailor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Â Â But the biggest deal is that the mechanicum doesn't have a single assault transport. Can't Mechanicum take a Stormlord? :)Nope. They cannot. They can take Super Heavies not listed in their book "which do not already have a heresy era counterpart" Stormlord has rules in the SA list so it's a no go for Mech. Sorry about the quote from an old post but so if an LoW exists in a 30K SA or Legion list you can't take it with Reductor Mech? You can only take 40k LoWs that are not on any SA or Legion list? Â That means no go on the Gorgon, the Spartan chassis tanks, the Fellblade / Baneblade chassis tanks. I don't think that leaves anything else. Bummer.....

Sol_Invictus Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yeah, unfortunately you're basically left with the Macharius variants and a few other things.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Atrapos Knight-Titan does the job for me. I personally think the Knight-Lancer is the more competitive option (I5 D spear is no joke), but I like my vortex-spewing monstrosity. Also nothing is funnier than D-lasering a Spartan then charging the cargo before they can really respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angmarred Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hey guys I'm pretty new to 30k and know nothing about mechanicum (no one I see plays them). I'm thinking of adding a small mechanicum allied force to my legion list. What I'm really looking for is something that can point efficiently threaten heavy tanks like Spartans and Typhons. Any suggestions on s good, small, mechanicum unit/detachment that can do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angmarred Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Am I missing something with Vultatax? 2 haywire hits a turn that must somehow stay within 12" of a cortex controller while flying for 175 doesn't seem that great. Â Krios Venator is ridiculous. How is it cheaper than a Sicaran Venator? It doesnt really address Spartans though. Â Looking through the list either type of Myrmidons with some sort of Grav jumped out as a possibility. Are they any good?

You're still stuck with the 12" range on their little arc spears but at least they'll be in a transport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it would be a unit of thralls but it would still add to the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I just wish Knights counted as Titans for the Titanguard rule. As it stands, those rules pretty much will never get used except in huge narrative battles. :P Emperors Teeth 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 24 inch fearless bubble should cover most of a table anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
