major higgins Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hi brothers, this is my last list for fight against friends, so no posphex at all... HQ Siege Breaker + Catafracti Armor + Chain Fist ELITE 10 Veterans + Power Weapon + 2 Melta G + Nuncio Vox + Melta B. Rhino 1 Rapier Quad Mortar 2 Rapier Quad Mortar xxx ....... TROOPS 10 Tactical Iron Warriors + Nuncio Vox + Melta B. Rhino 10 Tactical Iron Warriors + Nuncio Vox + Melta B. Rhino HEAVY 2 Medusaes 5 Tyrant Siege Terminators + 1 Chainfist 7 Iron Havocs + Augury Scanner + M Lounchers I save exactly 160 Pt, my possible choiches are: Contemptor Cortus + Twin linked Lascannon or 3 Rapier Laser Destroyers or 2 Techmarine + 2 Conversion Beamers + 2 Nuncio Voxes In the last times I had to face solid 14 AV walls in the form of lot of Leman Russ from Solar Auxilia and 4 (yes FOUR) land raiders. All in all my str 8 shoot, although lot of them, are quite useless against so many 14 AV tanks, plus that the Quad mortar more than often have to bombard to maximize the rite of war... I changed my old Basilisk for a couple of medusaes, and now I have to choose what to put in... I seriously tempted to put the rapiers, they are str9 Ap1 ordenance, but they lack of range. Techmarines on the other hands can reach tanks far than 36" (where a cunny opponent will sit till medusaes are destroyed or stunned) but can shoot only once a turn and can still scatter. For thec I plan to can put them in the havocs or in the tyrant siege (or probably one here and one there) and stay put to scare/hit far tank, hoping to pass thair AV14... not and autopen at all Contemptor could be a good counterattack unit, but not a serious threat for Land Raiders, nor for Leman Russes What do you think? Any suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtDan Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 You need some shatter shells on the mortars bud. They will glance everything to death if lucky I'd probably go for the laser destroyers bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major higgins Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 I don't mentioned them but every quad mortar has shatter shell though. Anyway against 4 land raider in cover glacing them to the death is not an easy job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtDan Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 No it's not but it helps a little. Laser destroyers with the spare points I'd say bud. Or if the iron havocs aren't built use lascannons instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Uh, this is an ironfire Rite. Any rapier that is not a quad mortar is a stupid rapier. 36" range on laser destroyers is unfortunate, but they are a pretty good unit for the points. To take anything other than Quad Mortars in this Rite though is sheer madness. I would spend the left over points on another Quad Mortar (so you have 2 units of 2), and then pump up the Tyrant and Havoc units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 If you are using the Iron Fire RoW you need a unit with Master of the Legion (unless that Siege Breaker of yours is a Warsmith!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
