Lord Blackwood Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Was thinking about picking up Archmagos Draykavac for when I need to be the badguy " get it ... scarface ... say hello to the badguy " Anyway This is the List I drafted , I dont really get how the Castellax work but I tried to set em up to the best of my knowledge. I feel like I might have issue with the longer range super heavies and general tank busting outside of melee +++ Say Hello to the Badguy (2485pts) +++ ++ Questoris Knight Crusade Army (Questoris Knight Crusade Army) (2485pts) ++ + HQ (265pts) + Archmagos Draykavac (265pts) [Abeyant] + Troops (1365pts) + Castellax Class Battle-Automata Maniple (615pts) [Enhanced Targeting Array, Paragon of Metal] Castellax [Darkfire Cannon, Flamer, Siege Wrecker*] Castellax [Darkfire Cannon, Flamer, Siege Wrecker*] Castellax [Darkfire Cannon, Flamer, Siege Wrecker*] Castellax [Darkfire Cannon, Flamer, Siege Wrecker*] Scion Martial (375pts) Questoris Knight Errant [bio-corrosive rounds for its heavy stubbers] Scion Martial (375pts) Questoris Knight Errant [bio-corrosive rounds for its heavy stubbers] + Elites (445pts) + Aucteller (445pts) Cerastus Knight-Lancer [Occular Augmetics] + Heavy Support (410pts) + Scion Arbalester (410pts) Questoris Knight Paladin [Occular Augmetics, Rapid-fire battlecannon] Created with BattleScribe (http://www.battlescribe.net) What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of ' . You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your ' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy!

Caillum Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 With Draykavac in a Questoris Knights army, Castellax are non-compulsory man. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317383-archmagos-draykavac-scarface-2500/#findComment-4257553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'd swap the Auctellor to a Perceptor if you can for Interceptor :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317383-archmagos-draykavac-scarface-2500/#findComment-4257562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 And Preceptors get a crazy awesome bonus to Overwatch so it's a no-brainer role for an Acheron and its flamer thing. I guess I semi-question the Arbalester being a Paladin too. Maybe a Styrix would make more sense there? More S8 hits with tank hunting and a weapon that can ensure planes go down with skyfire.

Slips Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yes, a Perceptor Acheron and Arballester Styrix is probably one of the Stronger Combos What with the Perceptor giving out a 6" Interceptor Bubble for other Knights and the Arballester having Skyfire/Tank Hunter. Mix that in with a Styrix for S8 Ap3 Skyfire/Interceptor/Tank Hunting Volkite Chieroville on a Super-Heavy Walker and you're pretty much set for facing any Airborne Threats. Then, your Acheron has D6 S7 Ap3 Overwatch auto-hits if he gets charged but can conversely torch stuff dead with his Hellstorm Ap3 Flamer on their turn due to interceptor.

Lord Blackwood Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 that moment when you realize your archon is suppoused to be a lancer cause you dont own an archeon and have thus wasted good advice @ n @ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317383-archmagos-draykavac-scarface-2500/#findComment-4257570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 v_v At that point I'd go for an Uhlan Lancer so you can perform some Hit & Run Shenanigans. You dont care about the reduced range since your gun doesnt fire that much further anyways.

Caillum Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 aye , but the two errants are troop choices o - o Sorry, I am clearly completely blind - didn't see them. :/ You'll need to split the Paragon of Metal from the unit, as it's a 1-only upgrade. FYI, Castellax are now 20 points more than they used to be, though this hasn't been updated outside of Mechanicum. Maybe drop the flamers and Siege Wreckers and just sit back and blast with the Darkfire cannons? Definitely a good call on the Uhlan Lancer! :) I think I've seen you list a Paladin as an Arbalester before, so I assume you have the model?

Lord Blackwood Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yea I have a Paladin , Two Errants and a Lancer , ( And the not legal warden crusader and gallant T nT ) my buy in for this would be the Automata and the archmagos himself. It seems putting the lancer in the Uhlan position is a good idea D: im mildly concerned about droppin the AV by 1 though but I guess its really not that big a deal to go from 13 to 12 Hmm the Castellax thing might be an issue 4x20 is about a hundred points , I guess I could drop 1 of em entirely ? or strip off the flamers , I really like the siege wreckers tho T u T maximum crushing Thank you all for the advice Sorry about misposting the original list Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317383-archmagos-draykavac-scarface-2500/#findComment-4257585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
