noigrim Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm doubtibg between getting two knights or a IH typhon, what would you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Really it's up to you buddy! In terms of raw effectiveness it's hard to argue with the 14/14/14 10" Deletion Pie Plate of the Typhon... But Knights can add a lot more fluff or flavour to your list if need be. I think if you want to not be seen as "that guy" the Knights are a "nicer" take and a lot more versatile in ways.

noigrim Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 That's what I was looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 May I offer a different option? Drop the Typhon and get a Stormsword :-D Bigger, nastier, Ignore Cover pie plate, lovely plastic kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norngahl Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Depends on the army I'd guess. If you want to stay away, take the typhon or stormsword, if you want to wreck faces, get a lancer. Holy :cuss, this beast is pure evil in cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Lancer is good, but imo it and the Castigator suffer from lack of ranged weapons. It hurts not to be able to shoot a unit and Charge a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMarine Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I kinda feel that the baneblade chassis in general is overlooked. Even the standard baneblade is a great distraction of 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two quick things. A Dreadhammer cannon is a 7" template, the "mega blast" not the "apocalyptic mega blast." Second, everyone is scared of the Dreadhammer, but the +1 to Thunderblitz is possibly the best thing for killing Primarchs. 2d6 str10ap2 or removing vehicles on a 5+ is not to be overlooked.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Plus the box is smaller and AV14 all round. A big, long tank with weak rear armour gives me the shivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If go Typhon every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I would go Knights for a more flavor, better models, and as stated before a "nicer" take. Typhons tend to spark off arms races that don't end well for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptix Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 You know, the title made me think you were talking about the HQ choices. To be honest with you, Knights. I treat HH as my fluffy army and I try to avoid all mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Knights are more fun and flexible. Typhons are a little boring and once the enemy closes the gap with you its GG. Deepstrike lists hurt when they land inside your minimum range. Lancer is probably the best choice, as its I5 on the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
