t-dog1996 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Firstly, can infantry characters join vehicle units? If so, how about three squadrons of Leman Russ Punishers, all with three tanks, each containing an allied Ordo-Xenos Inquisitor with a Psyocculum. Your army can now pump out 180 S5 shots a turn at BS 10 against targets with the psyker, psychic pilot or brotherhood of psykers rule. 1430 points total. Thoughts?

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 That does not work. As far as I know, independent characters cannot join units containing vehicles. "Independent Characters can join other units. They cannot, however, join units that contain vehicles or Monstrous Creatures." - BRB pp 337. Second, the Ordo Xenos inquisitor can't take a Psyocculum. Only the Ordo Hereticus inquisitor can, negating the awesome other wargear the OXInq can take. Also, The best counter to an EC/GK/CD list is to simply bring lot's of instant death and ignore their saves (ignores cover, low AP, high strength). Eradicators will ignore cover, ID T3, and ignore 4+ saves. That's lots of dead eldar. LRBT's will ID T4, and ignore a 3+ Sv. That's lots of dead GK. Vet squads can pump out 6 S7 AP2 shots, not to mention FRFSRF lasguns, will cause enough wounds for termies to fail statistically.

WarriorFish Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ulrik is correct, nothing can join a vehicle squadron - that aside sounds like a lot of points that will bounce of medium tanks or better!

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 that aside sounds like a lot of points that will bounce of medium tanks or better! Also very true. Punishers need 6's just to glance a rhino's front/side armor. Too specialized and way too many points. You'd be better off forgetting the IC's and using the emperor's fist to get BS4. Still it's way too many points to be really viable. Better off sticking with vanquishers, battle tanks, eradicators, and demolishers, because they can at least kill anything (vanquishers are best against vehicles, but they can take a peg or 2 off a GC or MC...). ABG is probably the best counter, even though it's more expensive points wise than the standard codex. You can get beasthunter shells and BS4 Vanquishers to use them, which will eat MC's. Not to mention the coax weapons... hitting with BS4 stubbers to twin link the main gun is brutal.
