dtse Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hey guys. Got an upcoming game against demons. Usual demon list. 20-24 psychic dice. I'll be bringing almost all ravenwing but I'm trying to decide to just abandon psychic phase as it may be pretty futile, or to try and bring a librarius conclave on bikes to try and get some buffs off and deny a few shrieks here and there. Advice? Oh and add in question. How would you deal with a D-thirster as an exclusive ravenwing army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakybamsen Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have not played demons myself, so this is not from experience. But in terms of killing a bloodthirster, I would try to rapidfire it to death with plasmatalons from black knights and ravenwing command squad. If that is not a valid strategy, nuke it from afar with typhoon speeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngeal Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Typhoon speeders en masse should be able to take down a thirster like most MC, they max out at their 3+ armour save, so you are forcing them to A) stay airborne B) stay in combat. If you stay out of the charge range, you can kill it with missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtse Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well I'll have 15 black knights and a 3 speeder support squadron so should be ok. Any tips for the psychic question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Conclave will work fine against deamons They get a right stress on when you screw around their psychic phase, have used ours trailing zek round is hard work but having enough buff abilities and being able to put force on is sweet. It forces them to throw a lot of dice at clutch powers causing perils of the warp & denying a lot of the new powers aren't maledictions so there having to throw 6's to block & with mind worm they'll be wary of throwing all their dice early incase your saving one for a cheeky punt at a deamon Makes the game more fun anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If you have access the space marine codex, you could take a standard SM conclave. It is the same points value per psyker and ypu don't have to take Ezekiel. The latter could be good or bad. It also means no Interromancy. There are other perks to the SM conclave too but I cannot remember them. This way everyone will be on bikes. Just some food for thought. I like to hear on what you decide and how the game goes too. For the Lion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtse Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'll post a batrep I think I've decided on this: Sammael Interrogator on bike, mace of redemption Command squad with banner and apothecary Black Knights x5 Black Knights x5 Maybe 1-2 3 man bike squads depending on points Support squadron with 3 typhoon speeders Space marines Libby conclave with 4 librarians on bikes all lvl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtse Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 In terms of tactics was gonna start he support squadron and librarians on the board in a corner. And outflank the rest of the army. At some point I'll rejoin the librarians to sammaels squad. Otherwise I might just start whole bunch on board. Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I don't out flank the main squad a lot of times, you've plenty of range on 2 out of 3 deployments, Hammer & Anvil is a whole different issue though Roll on tables that give you buffs, don't try for telepathy your likely to end up with nothing worth casting, with a conclave santic is worth a punt with primaris being a useful threat block to get them to roll deny dice & there are some useful powers in there.

dtse Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Was gonna go for prescience and then maybe sanctic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Try out Librarius imo, Veil of Time, Psychic Fortress, Might of Heroes, Psychic Scourge, Null Zone. They all sound pretty useful to me against demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
