Lord Blackwood Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 So if I wanted to run a squadron of Malcadors in one of my heavy support slots , exactly how do you reckon is the best way to kit them out?Do you have any tips on using them in gameplay? The objective would be to put them in a Armored Breakthrough list.D: Some insight would be fantastic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324333-how-would-you-set-up-a-malcador-squadron/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 What's your legion? I have been looking at Baal malcadors since the book came out!

Charlo Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Double Pie Plate goodness is the best for me. Battlecannon, Democannon then whatever sponsons you need to taste. The Battle Speed Rule means you can fire the battlecannon and flat out in any order too, so turn one you slam forward with 3 templates and next turn you are a wall of flare-shielded AV14 Pie Plates and Heavy Bolters.

hivey Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I was thinking of taken 3 malcadors instead of 3 laser vindies in my coils list, with demo and battle cannon. 3 super heavies can put out more hurt on more targets than 3 vindies can. Looking at them on GW site though, does the battle cannon one come with bits to put a demo cannon on instead of las?

Charlo Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 No :( It's a pretty crappy issue especially now. Hopefully FW will re-release a "Legion Malcador" with some improved Aesthetic and options. Like the legion Medusas. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324333-how-would-you-set-up-a-malcador-squadron/#findComment-4455169 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ncarnadine Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 If you're running Solar Aux and assembling any Dracosans with the twin-linked Lascannon you'll have a spare demo cannon for the Battlecannon Malcador kit. Although, most will probably be assembling their Dracosans with the demo cannon :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324333-how-would-you-set-up-a-malcador-squadron/#findComment-4455455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, this is a silly statement, because it treats them as equivalencies, when one Malcador costs the same as all three Vindicators. I mean, sure, if you have a gaping hole 600-700 points in your Coils list, going three Malcadors is one way to fill it?

Lord Blackwood Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 thank you for your replies , im picking up that Battle Cannon Demo Cannon seems to be the way to run them also ./do you want to build a snow tank plays faintly in the distance Thank you for the example Flint Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324333-how-would-you-set-up-a-malcador-squadron/#findComment-4455582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Wait, wait, wait. I disagree :-D I'd say TL Lascannon, Lascannon Sponsons, Demolisher Cannon, Armoured Ceramite/Flare Shield (Depending on your meta) 2 of them would function as 2 Vindicators and 2 Tri Las Predators combined, but more survivable and useful due to moving 12 and ignoring damage table, hitting multiple targets etc etc. With this loadout they can put the hurt on any vehicle and any infantry as well.

Terminus Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Given that you can split off the shots how you wish, I would rather have a battlecannon than one more lascannon shot.

Reyner Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 As an Iron Warrior I would always take the battle cannon over the twin lascannons. Just as in Baldricks poem: BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

DuskRaider Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I built mine Battle Cannon / Demolisher (I had a Defender that I ripped the cannon off of) with Lascannon sponsons and Flare Shield / Armoured Ceramite. I haven't used it since it switched to Heavy Support, but as a LoW it scared the be bejesus out of people with its fast movement and heavy armament. I would forgo any other Heavy options for a squadron of Malcadors, though they're wicked expensive. I could see them complimenting a Fellblade quite well.
