Tank hunters thanks to the Primarch, and rending360This gives me 4 troops choices, though they are not too sturdy. Im concerned about opposing Deathstars and Air support. I have the Contemptors, are the Sicaran's and Dereado's so much better?I do want to make one more purchase (a dreadnought Drop Pod, or Dread Claw or suggestions welcome). Id like to drop in a dual-chainfist dual graviton gun Contemptor to handle Scorpius and other backfield problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Deredeos and sicarans are definitely worth their points. If you take off the melta bombs from the support squad, you can fit in 2 stock deredeos in lieu of the contemptor-mortis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I'd look into a Deredeo instead of a Mortis. You also lack ways of dealing with armour at range. Enemy mech elements can de-mech you and block infiltration with Augury Scanner. Thus you will be stranded. One solid long-ranged element will help you a lot. This is another area where the Deredeo is a solid pick. Just some food for thought ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser_von_Hugal Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thanks for the replies! I do like the Deredeo alot and dont dispute its a great piece of kit. Maybe Im not building to the UM's strength? The army as posted can fight a running gun fight (assuming I dont get my transports shot out from under me). With all the models moving in support of each other. The Deredeo would be solitary and lonely (unsupported bit). Im trying to sort out if the Mortis Contemptors are truly sub-standard.
