noigrim Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm planning on getting an allied detachment of knights beginning with two of them, for the HQ I'm settled on a lancer but what to get on the other one below 395? Castigator? Magaera? Errant? Paladin? Expecting to face infantry forces with the odd primarch not many superheavies or other knights Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324174-knight-dilemma/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If you want one that will be best all around, I'd recommend an Acheron. There is no where a hellstorm template won't be helpful if you're facing massed infantry. Second in line would be a Castigator. The bolt cannon is pretty good but the Tempest blade is spectacular against anything with a toughness value, especially en masse.

Terminus Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I live the Castigator model, but having only one gun is really really bad. I would pay 20 points for a laspistol if I could. The same kind of applies to the Lancer, but at least it's usually going after targets that can soak it's shots and still need plenty of killing (terminators, Primarchs, etc.). Lancer is one of those too cool not to use models. Acheron is by far the best of the Cerastus frames. The hell storm template is S7 ordnance, so it handles medium vehicles quite well too, and then you have a heavy bolter to tag something. The Atrapos is actually super sexy and the most survivable of the Cerastus frames because it has a flare shield and blessed autosimulacra. The singularity cannon is like a better melta cannon (or whatever that thing the errant has is called), and extra hilarity ensues on a 6 for the D. The lightsaber gives you a second gun and you can actually cause incredible devastation with a 12" move and an 8" line of killallthethings.

Vaz Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I have both a Acheron and Atrapos, love them dearly. I've had some exciting vortex rolls as well! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324174-knight-dilemma/#findComment-4450223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I have been running the Atropos and Lancer together since the change to the red book. I own an archeon but I haven't put it on the table yet. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324174-knight-dilemma/#findComment-4450224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you finding the atrapos, i like th look of it for my 2000 point games to deal with other big nasties. Does it get killed/swarmed too easy?
