Panzer Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I was planning on SS + Powersword Vanguards but since Chainswords actually have rules now I might stick to SS + Chainsword...it's way more brutal to kill someone with a Chainsword than with a Powersword anyway! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just thought about the Imperial Knights...since we can actually shoot with pistols in melee, a unit of Vanguard Vets with Storm Shield + Inferno Pistol could be quite nice against one. He has only 4 attacks after all. Now I just need to know how the "Titanic Feet" rule works....and how I stop myself from laughing whenever I read that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why get into melee to use them, when you can just stand a few inches away and have the same effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will also add an extra attack. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Apparently they hinted that Mephiston is going to have stats close to being in line with a Daemon Prince. Indefragable 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Well maybe its not going to suck now? I doubt they will change the model for 8th edition, and it still has one of the most ridiculous guards ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebs_evo7 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Charging from transports but you have to have it in position in the previous turn. Might make foot death company an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Have we had confirmation that gunslinging sergeants and van. vets are still a thing yet?I've planned to build a 5 man van vet squad where each member has a different pair of pistols (Plasma, Inferno, Hand Flamer, Grav, Bolt), but not yet gotten round to it.

I've planned to build a 5 man van vet squad where each member has a different pair of pistols (Plasma, Inferno, Hand Flamer, Grav, Bolt), but not yet gotten round to it. Semi confirmed. They told us that our armies/models will be useable in 8th but that's pretty vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTaW Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A whole portion of my army just became usable again, without even knowing details. Hopefully we still keep a hefty movement for our tanks and that allows us to position for the charge better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebs_evo7 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Didn't even realize you mix and match units in transports. Thinking of possibilities you could make units of 5 dc in rhino and 5 tac marines. Combi on the sgt and special weapon in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminatorAM Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Also, Rhinos can charge into combat and soak up overwatch before the passengers charge in next. Here's our defence against shooty armies like Tau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazcruzk Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Not having a unit limit on transports is super interesting. I don't know when you would want to put three different combat squads and a character into a land raider crusader, but you certainly could. Disembark and watch with righteous glee as the raider does donuts in the enemy firing lines. Has anyone seen any mention of what are currently considered defensive weapons for vehicles? I'm curious if we may see hull mounted storm bolters and such be allowed shots in melee like pistols. Code 187 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) One think that irks me a bit, is that a character embarked in a Rhino that explodes, has 1 in 6 chances to die. Not take a wound, but die. Is it me, or this is too much? Edited May 21, 2017 by vahouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Vehicles have an attack characteristic and it seems like people inside can shoot pistols in combat through firing ports, I think that might just be all the defensive weapons they get. Of course, can't be sure until 8th is released. Grazcruzk 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
