Emprah2508 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This is my successor chapter WIP. I will be trying to paint a unit every week but at the moment I have nothing to paint(it's all done). But soon I shall be getting payed (new models yay!) I'll be getting some bikes and a tactical squad. I need some help on how to equip them. I was thinking grav guns but how many should I use because I think 2 would mean that if they were shot at I would lose points quickly.grav pistol or combi grav for the sergeant? What do I give the tacticals( I already have a squad with a lascannon, plasma gun and a combi grav(I split them usually). Your help is greatly appreciated. :D PS I will have pics soon and I also have a sanguinary Priest on a bike for the bikes.

Jolemai Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 With the Bikes it really depends on what your plan is. The following load out is 163 points: Sergeant with combi-grav and melta bombs 2 x Bikers with grav guns Attack Bike with multi melta This is an ideal unit for us. However, if you are using it alone I would suggest taking another two Bikes (ablative wounds if you will), but if you plan on running more than one squad then just use multiples of the above. The combi-grav over the grav pistol on a Bike is preferred for the range and to exploit the bike's Relentless platform.

Charlo Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 As if that is only 163 points! Take a Priest on a bike (is that still a thing?) with Valours and a Grav Pistol and proceed to hurt face.

Emprah2508 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I don't have any attack bikes but what about a 3 man bike squad combi grav and one grav gun with a sanguinary Priest with a powers sword on bike?

Jolemai Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 In my opinion, unless you're stuck on points, always take the option to upgrade to a special weapon. If you're adding a Priest, this will give an extra layer of protection so you can worry less - of course, if something wants to kill them bad enough there's not much you can do, so don't worry about the upgrades. A Priest has WS 5. Ideally you would make use of this with Valor's Edge but failing that, a Power Axe can work (the Sergeant becomes the challenge monkey allowing the Priest to swing at the squad, of course this may vary depending on what Detachment you are using) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321139-blood-phantoms-wip-and-help/#findComment-4355167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emprah2508 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Ok i have a spare grav gun so I could have 2 gravs and a combi grav with a sanguinary Priest with VE or a power weapon. What about the load out for the tacticals? Also here is my army so far sorry for the bad picture and paint job quality. https://goo.gl/photos/gDwUgU7GGiUb2o2V6 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321139-blood-phantoms-wip-and-help/#findComment-4355212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Looking good and I like your Assback conversion! What is your plan for the Tactical Squad? You say you split them, but who is in which combat squad? Deployment? Transport? Etc.

Emprah2508 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I put the plasma and combi plasma in a combat squad and the lascannon in the other then the plasmas ride in the razorback and jump out when they need to. The stormraven carries the dread and just floats around blasting stuff.

Emprah2508 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've only had one game with them like this so far but I will be tweaking when needed. How about this for a non cheesy scary list aimed to help my friend learn 40k without being destroyed. Sang priest Bike VE Tac squad Plasma Combi plasma Tac squad Lascannon Terminator squad Heavy flamer Chainfist Exactly 500 points. What do you think?

Emprah2508 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've now decided against bikes in favour of death company!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321139-blood-phantoms-wip-and-help/#findComment-4356505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Just be mindful of using a priest with death company. As they already have feel no pain, all he is giving them is WS5!

Emprah2508 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah I know but I was thinking 10 DC with bolters and jump packs plus 2 power fists. Good or not?
