Rune Priest Ridcully Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 ++INQUISTORIAL RELAY 89456122++++CLEARANCE LEVEL: ALPHA++ ++PRIORITY LEVEL:DIABOLUS BETA+++++INQUISTORAIL CODE:872616/BBK7--JULION VIMES+++Daemonic influence detected in Skitarri maniple communication systems, confirmed tech heresy involving warp infused munitions by Magos Klashek, and possible possesed/Daemonic entrapment experiements. Scrapcode taint restricted to Mechanicus facility VVT8991-66B2.Current forces sufficient to prevent spread to further Mechanicus elements or facilities at present, insufficient to cleanse Klashek's facility of Heresy and taint, immediate assistance required.So I am facing Mechanicus/Skitari at 1500pts next week, any advice on both units to watch out for and for units to take? (beyond dreadnought spam). How is there anti tank/skyfire or close combat ability?

librisrouge Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 What they have that shoots, you need to stab. What they have that stabs, you need to shoot. Their shooter units aren't over the top good, unless you're taking Dreadnoughts (don't) but they have mass fire. They also have a +6 FnP to help them out, and a 2W sergeant, Grey Knights, however, are packing force weapons that negate all of their defensive boosts and will kill them in short order. Their melee units are rightly terrifying if used well. They're low in number though and rely on getting into combat. Even one turn of concentrated storm bolter fire or incinerators will eat them alive. Their best AA is a walker equipped with what is an Icarus Array (basically an autocannon, krak missile, and two multilasers with skyfire that are one gun.) Not too bad but it can get lucky against a stormraven, so watch out. Jink if you're just delivering cargo.

jeffersonian000 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Interceptors and DKs with Incinerators, to BBQ their 4+ save units. After that, its just mop up in aisle 3.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Plasma calivers are a nightmare for us, and they can get 3 per squad (I think it's Vanguard). Other than that, I treat them like Tau and prioritise getting into melee ASAP to render all their fancy guns useless. Unlike Tau, they don't murder half your army on Interceptor/Overwatch, so it's an easier matchup.
