raziel69r Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hey, Has anybody else used the fulgurite priests yet? I have tried them in 2 games and been very pleasantly surprised. They pack one hell of a punch and when used as a counter charge they make mince meat of the opponent! Bjorn the felhanded.. 6 mortal wounds on the charge---- dead wolf guard w/storm shield 4 mortal wounds with 2 guys--- last model survived (he used CPs to pass moral)!!! Lychguard 4 mortal wounds on the charge followed by 3 in fight 5 guys - - - dead deceiver took last 3 wounds off in charge tomb blades 2 mortal wounds on charge 3 in fight with 4 guys. seriously, if your umming and arring about these dudes just take them! these are the kills after 2 games! If we get tranports from FW then I can see these guys becoming much more aggresive! Anybody else had good times with these formally dog turd chaps?

Spanish_Muffin Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Fulgerite priests have been the model that's always worked in game 1, and never ever worked in game 2. The moment my opponents truly realize what footslogging priests can do, they've never made it across the field a second game. 10/10 praying for transports.

Teun135 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm taking two groups of 5 in my friendly event day tomorrow. Hopefully they do alright! I was pleasantly surprised with 5 of them in a pickup game earlier so I hope to play on some terrain-dense boards that let them get in a few punches.

I don't send them across the board, I leave them out of LOS in my deployment and/or behind a line of vanguard to deter deep strikers form going near my onagers! But yea, if transports come out I will be going on the offensive with them a whole lot!

" ... transports are our dream for 8th....or a secret Ad-mech portable teleportation device ... cheers, Mithril Ammonius 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336664-electro-priests-goooood/#findComment-4821513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentz Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm taking two groups of 5 in my friendly event day tomorrow. Hopefully they do alright! I was pleasantly surprised with 5 of them in a pickup game earlier so I hope to play on some terrain-dense boards that let them get in a few punches. I feel like 2 groups of 5 is not the best way to run them. Firstly, you do a mortal wound for every 6 rolled per model on the charge. So with a 5 man squad you don't statistically expect to even get 1! In reality you often will get 1 or 2, but rolling 10 dice you have a far higher probability of using this power to seriously wound your target... This means the target has a far greater chance of getting destroyed in the subsequent melee... which unlocks your super saiyan final form - a unit with a 3+ invulnerable and 5+ FNP is hilariously resilient :D So yeah... there's no way taking them in 2 small squads is as effective. My experience with my new fulgurites is mixed - they have smashed up some stuff but also died quickly. They do represent a target for first turn shooting, for sure.

Magos Takatus Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Wow, you'd see the Electro Party Bus from a mile away! :p I found painting Electro Priests a bit tiring but the Fulgerite priests look easier to paint than the Corpuscarii. I think I'm going to wait until Fires of Cyraxus before I decide what direction to take my Mechanicus army. These tactics threads are interesting to read in the meantime.

MithrilForge Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 i was thinking of getting some GS cult guys in their rubber hazmat looking suits and put ranger heads on em and make some Tesla Coil type wrist mount for shooting electricity or make up an Arc/electricity type rifle... sad to say but the "tattoo'd blind zealots in rubber boots" look has never done it for me i do hope we get transports for em...we're very lacking in "Usable" CC Punch at the moment...
