Legion jet bike sky slayer support squadron & other tidbits


Recommended Posts

I am actually interested in the Sky Slayer Jetbikes since Armored Breakthrough frees up my Heavy Support Slots quite a bit. 

Not to mention the potential of fitting another superheavy tank in my lists is pretty hype though I sorta hate the way malcadors look 

This has irritatingly narrowed my choice of the next legion to go with down to two. Jetbikes ftw... I do kinda presume however these will just be jetbikes with full heavy weapons, and possibly something extra like a missile launcher for each.

I suspect it'll be like the Sky Hunter Jetbike squad, but removing the 1 in 3 Heavy Weapons option, and giving them all Heavy Weapons of one choice instead. I mean, if they didn't add the new Solar Apothecary character to the Crusade Imperialis book or any of the book VI rites of war to the Legions book, I can't see them just adding new units to this book

Plus all the work they're doing on the remaining Legions and upgrade kits, I don't see how they'd have time for brand new generic units!

Makes Solar Auxilia a little less snowflake though, previously only they could have Malcadors as Heavy Support (can't remember if Militia can do this but they probably can lol). Good to see it for the Legion though and the new Sky Slayers sound interesting!

I concur, moving the Malcador assault tank to the HS-slot makes perfect sense, with only 6HP and "regular" armaments for medium/ Heavy tanks the LoW was an odd fit from the start even if it has the Super-Heavy rules, after all you almost Always will use it for the Battle Speed and zip around the table wiggling your eyebrows at those "fast" skimmers while distributing Demolisher Shells to the masses. happy.png

HS jetbikes sounds awsome, I always wnted jetbikes but could not find use for them with the 1/3 limitation on weapon options, having a squad for tankhunting with multimeltas or LC's would be niiiice.

Hopefully the Mauler comes with prospero.

I know! smile.png Can't wait to see what the Mauler Battle Tank is!

I'd imagine it'll probably have some aesthetic similarities to the Malcador & Mastadon as they're both older vehicles from the start of the Great Crusade, and the first mention of the Mauler was during the Battle of Rust back in Massacre, which was one of the Iron Hands' first campaigns outside Sol

Errrmergerrrd I just thought - run Covenant of Fire with jetbike spam for massed mastercrafted multi-meltas. Ermgerrgeeerdddd. Support with swarms of fast attack S6 heavy flamers.

Time to order some more Jetbikes!

Also MTC!

Malcador Tank in heavy support is brilliant.

 

Guilliman can give it Tank Hunters, Interceptor or Implacable Advance which would make it very useful indeed :-)

 

*Edit*

 

Sorry I've gone off topic but this is a pretty big and exciting change lol

Well I should've put and other tidbits in the title really so it's my bad for not being inclusive of it tongue.png

I got you fam.

So... I'm all for spreading the love around... but why put Malcadors in the legion list? It seems a little non sequitur.

Like suddenly if you take the Warp Cult providence you can now include Legion Astartes contemptor dreadnoughts as heavy support.
