Psykers in chimera


Phubar

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I usually run 2 or 3 vets on chimera (carapace, 1 flamer, 2 plasma) and now im thinking about switching one of them with a squad of Wyrdvane in chimera with a 2 lvl Primaris psyker in order to try some psy stuff.

 

Someone has tried it?

What do you think about this option?

 

Tnx!

buffs can't be issued from a transport, only witchfire.

Most witchfire can be replicated with regular weapons but the buffs are stupidly powerful with guard.

That topped with the fact that Wyrdvane psyker BS is only 3 would make this not to viable on the field

Take out the chimera for another squad and roll on divination to buff everything else in your army

No, take the Wyrdvanes in a Chimera. Disembark in the movement phase, cast in the psychic phase, get back in with a run move. There may be something in the rules that prevent that, but I don't know of it. I'll check when I get a chance though. 

Psykers are squishy and a higher target due to the useful buffs they can cast, so I'd give them a Chimera to help keep them safe. If you want to also shoot from the top hatch you can, but that'd only be if you wanted shooty powers which as mentioned isn't the best use of them for Guard. We have plenty of guns already that don't need to roll to see if the warp lets you shoot them :P

Tnx for the answers and the ideas!

Ufortunatly you can embark only during the movement phase... but can disembark and embark (dunno how), its forbidden to embark and disembark.

Back to the psy point my idea was to use only witchfires, hoping to get some novas or beams or going safe with psy shriek ( i play against marines and i will make 2 average wounds that its not bad).

Again thanks for your support!
