General Strike Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Should I ally with AdMech? Or militarum Tempestus, or Space Wolves? I wanted to give my skitarii transports and some beefier allies.

Tyriks Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Rumors abound about a new combined codex with some bonus units, and also about Forge World releasing an Imperial Armour with some 30k AdMech stuff coming to 40k, so you might want to wait and see if those pan out, since they could introduce some tougher units and some of the transports. If you just can't wait, with this in mind, you might just want to pick something you'd be most interested in running solo down the road (so that after the rumored new stuff comes out and you don't need allied transports, you could still get some use out of them). I like Blood Angels as an ally because they have usable transports and come with some quality close combat units, but they are lacking considerably with options right now. Iron Hands would make a ton of sense with the fluff, and their chapter tactics probably suit us best since it makes everything tougher and as of the FAQ even if we just ally in some flyers or transports they get IWND.

General Strike Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 That would be a dream come true, to run Skitarii and AdMech as a complete army! I hope the rumors are true!

Tyriks Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I know! We wouldn't even need much. A transport, a flyer, a psyker, and we would have at least one option for everything. Even if we don't get beefier cc units, I'd be okay with that for now. But it would be awesome if we did, or maybe if we got a Psyker who could buff his group's toughness or something to help Sicarians be a little more survivable.

WarriorFish Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 A combined codex is what I'm pinning my hopes on too... fingers crossed! As for allies anything could yield results so it depends on what you want to try? The trick to getting the most from an allied force is to make sure they complement with the main army and don't compete in purpose/capabilities.

Dawnstrider Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Am I the only one lamenting the lack of named HQs? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323800-interested-player-best-ally-for-skitarii/#findComment-4438948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I was thinking Grey Knights, BA or SW. I was thinking GK to add melee support. I was thinking BA or SW because(while not competitive) I love dreads and could give some transports and I could use a pure shooting list with SW, using distraction dreadnoughts, or use BA to give melee support. I sit my Skitarii boys back and peg away while throwing my BA and Dreads at the enemy in typical BA fashion. I have to say, I prefer the shooting idea.

Magos Takatus Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Am I the only one lamenting the lack of named HQs? That had not occurred to me. They could make some really bizarre tech priest/ magos models if they desired.

General Strike Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 There was a tech preist, I think he was, from the Uriel Ventris book series and he was hiding and collecting artifacts on his moving fortress, although I think he might have been secretly rogue.
