nismogrendel Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 This army list is overcosted and ridiculous, that aside I'm wondering if it is legal. IG - Ally Grey Knights -- IG: Command Squad Stracken 4 vets - meltaguns +Nork Dedicated transport: Chimera Unit of bullgryns w mauls Unsure about rest of IG list so far, question is mainly about separating/attaching Stracken & Nork -- -- Grey Knights: Some HQ/Troop choice Heavy Support - Land Raider -- At start of game, separate Stracken/Nork from command squad, attach to bullgryns, load that unit up in Land Raider 4x Melta vets start embarked in Chimera Is that legal according to the rules? I know this isn't optimal, I just have Stracken and have wanted to make some sort of melee unit for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demus Ragnok Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Straken is not an Independent Character just a Character so no I don't believe it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Demus is right a character can't leave his squad voluntarily, so that means Nork as well if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenricusTyranicus Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Which has the affect of making Straken nearly unusable. Him getting IC is at the top of my guard wishlist for the next codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well, if you're wanting that setup might I recommend the following: HQ- CCS w/ Straken Support Staff (Psykers and Priests are probably best for this) Elt- Bullgryns x10 Troops- Stuff in troops Probably more stuff in troops Hvy or FA- We're IG so probably yet more stuff LoW- Gorgon Assault Transport Place that expensive as heck deathstar, accompanied by priests and within Straken's aura, in the Gorgon, point and kill.

nismogrendel Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Dang... wrote this post at work and didn't realize he was not an IC. That is cool that his counter-attack/furious charge is a 6" aura tho... was thinking that was only his unit. He is such a cool character, but so expensive >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah, he really ought to be an IC like Yarrick. He leads from the front, so why can't I have him in my platoon showing the troops how it's done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADU LYKAN Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have just finished a straken command squad, added nork and a priest, gave them carapace and plasma guns due to relentless trait and although I haven't used it in game yet I imagine 9 plasma shots, 2 lasgun shots and Norks ripper gun shouldn't leave much left that can contend with straken and nork with the priests buffs? If you can get some ogryns and a combined platoon into the same charge to benefit from furious charge then you might be able to take out a whole marine? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
