Slips Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just so you know, the Antomantic Pavise cant buff Invulnerable Saves past 3++ #1 and #2 would be my choices. Though I would try to fit a Grav Flux Bombard on your Leviathan if you could.

Slips Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 FW Are quite firmly against getting a 2++ without some form of drawback; such as the EC Relic Lucid Blade where you trade 1A for +1Invuln. So you could use Shooty Cataphractii Terminators screening a Deredeo for 3++ but the bonus is quite lost on shields and it doesnt work in CC anyways meaning they'd revert to a 4++ at that point. In list #1 I'd also want Melta Bombs in some capacity. It means that you have no way to Reliable Punch through any locked doors beyond your Sarges with Fists being at the front. Your Leviathan being your only way to reliably smackdown other dreadnoughts you might encounter will probably bite you in the rear at some point; tough as he is, he's still big and slow. In List #2 as much as it'll sound weird coming from me, Flamers and possibly even a Lascutter might be better choices than Graviton Guns. Mainly because they retain utility even when on the Move and since your Sarge has Melta Bombs doors will pose no problem. You also can't overwatch the Graviton; a phase that is much more powerful in ZM due to the Reaction Fire Special Rule (Hint Hint, Phalanx Warders truly shine here) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317797-small-form-zm-1000-points-imperial-fists/#findComment-4267336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
