Charlo Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anyone ever used the formation? Being able to get up to 6 D attacks each on the charge seems pretty Gnarly, as the expense of any decent shooting of course! Plus easier sweeping advances and re-rolling charges. But 3 Knights for under 1k is kind of hilarious, especially when they go around swinging the D and throwing Tank Wrecks/ Battlesuit Corpses onto enemies. I imagine it's a pretty simple formation in that you point and click at the biggest threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It's a neat idea, and it'll do well in "standard" meta. I don't think it scales well (1850 armies will have tools to deal with it and keep the IKs from getting to CC) but it's a cool idea at that point level. I'd say if you've magnetized your IKs, give it a try and let us know how it does! Don't forget, you'll have 25 points left if you want to slide in a couple upgrades.

jeffersonian000 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've flirted with running one in a 1000pt game, but decided against it because I like having friends. SJ Lucumon and Vel'Cona 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolvin Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'd love to play versus this, I'd win every time. It's fluffy and looks fun on paper but the lack of shooting would hurt these Knights very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Technically, you could give all of them meltaguns, FWIW. But yes, I agree that having this many Super Heavies dedicated primarily to melee is kind of a poor tactical setup. Far better to take two Errants/Paladins/Wardens and a platoon of IG or Skitarii Maniple (or something like that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolvin Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 You could give them melta and carapace weapons and you'd still suffer from lack of shooting. Not as much but it would be an uphill battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
