Russ Incinerator will worth its point cost?


major higgins

Recommended Posts

I'm building a list of SA, and I spare enough points to fit in 2 Leman Russ Incinerator, or 2 Medusas (and few  equipment here and there). My major doubt is? Are two Russes goos as two Medusas in terms of game play and performnce?

 

My list has 3 Rapier lasdetroyers, 2 Vanquishers (one is a command tank) 1 Drakosan and 2 Flanking regular Russes in order to cope against enemy tank.

 

Pros as I see for LRI

High Armor Value

4 HP

Good against LV and Infantry

Long Range 45"

 

Cont as i see for LRI

Worthless against Land Raiders (my friends run from one to four of them)

just 10 shots which have no real AP against anything

Cannot Outflank

 

 

Pros as I see for Med

5" str 10 AP2 Pie Plates

Good against vehicles as any kind of infantry

Good front armor 

 

Cont as I see for Med

Short range

Could scatter and hit nothing

Big fire Magnet

 

This is what I think, and I can decide because both choices have Pro and Cont. Could you give me your advise on them and their game use?

Thank you

I think you should run Incinerators...mostly due to rule of cool. Pie plates from Medusas are cool but too many and you'll wind up without friends lol.

 

Other benefits the Incinerators have going for them is mobility and the better usage against medium armor. Not everything is a land Raider in the heresy, and stripping hull points while getting nice side armor will be invaluable. They will be a lower target threat, so will be able to dominate the field in terms of mobility and surviveability by being a lower priority target.

Bear in mind Tank Commanders - giving them tank hunters makes them adept at stripping HPs on light to med armour. PE (Ifantry) makes it even better at what volkites exist to do.

 

The other rules are nice - I think the anti-MC one would do well against Mechanicum.

 

I forgot the other rules...

 

Oh and with a Strategos you can get them BS5 and with a Lord Marshall you can choose shred for the Russes with blast weapons which is lulzy with PE.

 

I never leave home without my tank aces.
