Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sounds like a good idea to me. Start up a new one in the rules section. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317087-team-breacher/page/12/#findComment-4273822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Perils Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi there everyone, I've opened a new thread for rules discussions here. I've passed over the discussions about the Death Guard Cremators in the form of quotes to give credit where it's due and to give the mods a hand. Â I've also had a new idea for Thousand Sons Breachers, using reflective shields like Archimedes' Bronze shields against the Roman Fleet. Tell me what you think about this over in the other thread :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317087-team-breacher/page/12/#findComment-4277870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gorgon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Even though I've abandoned my night lords to return to the ravens i still plan on fielding a unit of breachers to babysit the master of descent sort of an advanced infiltrated shield wall that he can take cover in and call in the reinforcements Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317087-team-breacher/page/12/#findComment-4278083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Urge to do a multiple Caestus and Medusan immortal boarding party list with Orth.... Rising. Â Also just want to say it's cool seeing my Team Breacher sign floating around. Glad people liked it! Â If there are any traitors or those who don't like Fists who'd like a different one let me know!

shandwen Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Looks like ill be turning some BaC guys into a 12-marine breacher section. Just ordered two sets of the 40k breacher upgrade to combine with the mk IV guys. Looks like the only change I'll make will be shaving off a couple aquillas.

Doctor Perils Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Since the downgrade of Tyrant Siege Terminators at the Horus Heresy weekender, I've been thinking of a new Elites unit to give my beloved Iron Warriors. What could be more natural then a Breacher variant ? Â So I've had this idea of a combined arms unit, of basically 5 breachers (with pikes rather than bolters) and 5 support marines (you can then take 5 more of each). This could offer some interesting tactical opportunities, ie more protection for your special weapons carriers, and still have some amount of oomph in the first turn of close combat. Also, model placement within the unit would become vitally important, which is a bonus as it is more interesting to play, but also a downside as it might slow the pace down a bit. Â What do you guys think of this as a possibility ? Â If we start developing any rules, don't forget to do it in this thread.

Black Cohort Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Fighting with a pike one handed is probably super awkward. Maybe chain spears? Do extra guys have to be taken in pairs? Overall I really like the idea. Â Perhaps overwatch on 5+ as the breachers give the support weapon guys a bit of extra time to react.

Liquid_O Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think a Stor-Bezashk specialist breaching half and half unit could be cool. The fluff mentions they use a lot of rad, phosphex and grav weaponry, so maybe give them access to graviton guns and irad cleansers instead of standard specials? I feel like a short-hafted billhook or boarding hatchet would better fit the confines of breaching fortifications and trenches than pikes though...

Shaolin_Monkey Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 But surely if you play Iron Warriors and are looking for some shield action you want the Super-Robot-Breachers in the Iron Circle!

Doctor Perils Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Fighting with a pike one handed is probably super awkward. Maybe chain spears? Do extra guys have to be taken in pairs? Overall I really like the idea.  Perhaps overwatch on 5+ as the breachers give the support weapon guys a bit of extra time to react. I'm just now realising I was confusing the Greek and Macedonian Hoplites: most hellenists had the massive shields and a long spear, the macedonians had two handed pikes (the sarrissa ? can't remember). Well some kind of lance that can justifiably give counter attack :P I was thinking more along of power technology or something, as chain spears and glaives smack more of Night Lords.  I like the expanded overwatch.  I think a Stor-Bezashk specialist breaching half and half unit could be cool. The fluff mentions they use a lot of rad, phosphex and grav weaponry, so maybe give them access to graviton guns and irad cleansers instead of standard specials? I feel like a short-hafted billhook or boarding hatchet would better fit the confines of breaching fortifications and trenches than pikes though...  I was originally thinking of pike&shot formations as a basis, but the billhooks idea is great :) I think it would be best to steer away from excessive grav and rad weaponry, so as not to mimick the Hand's Immortals and the Death Guard special unit we've built over in the other thread, but since several people have expressed interest we can move that discussion over there.  But surely if you play Iron Warriors and are looking for some shield action you want the Super-Robot-Breachers in the Iron Circle!  What's better than MC Breachers with big hammers?  MC creatures with big hammers that aren't overpriced ? Just kidding, they look pretty good (in rules and fluff terms) and awesome model ! But I've still got a soft spot for the infantryman, and this is Team Breacher after all :P  So I built a Siege Breaker for my Thousand Sons...  http://imageshack.com/a/img924/7765/J3Vb9f.jpg   Awesome ! Can't wait to see him painted ! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317087-team-breacher/page/12/#findComment-4312138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 How about Lascutters, on a spear that allows them to "set" a charge, where if they do not move in the proceeding movement phase, they get to use their Lascutters at their normal initiative and Weapon Skill in the first round of combat. As they only get 1 attack anyway. Makes them truly defensive, because no-one likes taking a S9 AP2 hit to face. Â Have I mentioned that I like lascutters?

Soldier of Dorn Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 @Black Cohort: Â Â Â @Paladin and everyone else wondering: Head is an Iron Hand upgrade helm, torso was a finecast Techmarine. Legs were from a HH Iron Father, the shield arm consists of a bunch of Deff Dread parts, a sensor cover from a land speeder, and a spotlight. The morningstar arm consists of Huron Blackhearts' arm, a DA Termie mace, and a world eater meteor hammer. The backpack was a leftover from a Grindhouse Games Allied power suit.
