HastPER Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) How do snipers scouts do? Should I include them in my list? I have a painted Sgt Telios, should I include him? How do they do over all? Thank you.

Captain Idaho Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm feeling he could be a great source of Mortal Wounds for an army. 10 Snipers with +1 to hit means a higher proportion of 6s to wound. He's fairly cheap and that is useful to an army that wants to have a cheap character to lead it but not get into assault.

fisheyedbunny Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I have ran a 5 man squad in my last few games, the sniper aspect has been great for putting wounds on models, character sniping but also for pushing out my zone of control to stop deep striking. it's so cheap and you can deny a large area with just 5 models due to the area you can cover. As I run Howling Griffons I don't want to get a Tellion however if I was running Ultra's I would definitely get one to try it out. I think he would be a solid addition for the squad.

Kallas Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm feeling he could be a great source of Mortal Wounds for an army. 10 Snipers with +1 to hit means a higher proportion of 6s to wound. Telion's ability is +1 to hit, but the Mortal Wound from sniper rifles is on the To Wound step, so no 5+ Mortal Wounds I'm afraid. Not that that makes him but good, but not quite as good he would be otherwise...

Frater Cornelius Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 You need re-rolls to wound in order to maximize the MW though. *sigh* Can someone nerf Guilliman already? I hate to have to bring it up every other threat as the optimal solution to something Oo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339296-telion-and-snipers/#findComment-4884700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

With more hits scored there's a greater chance of 6s to wound since there are more dice being rolled.

greatcrusade08 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Telion can sniper characters too, he doesn't do mortal wounds, but does have 2 shots with D3 damage though.

Stoic Raptor Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I thought that Telion now can do mortal wounds with Quietus? At work, don't have my Codex handy.

Daigo Cannon Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Battle scribe let me put a jump pack my primaris Lt, at work, don't have codex at hand, but if it is an option then Telion with 10 sniper + a DS LT to provide re rolls to wound would help on getting those rerolls for MW Edited September 13, 2017 by Daigo Cannon Stoic Raptor 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339296-telion-and-snipers/#findComment-4885011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 yes a LT can have a jump pack, its a good combo in theory, only rerolls on 1s though right? not sure its worth the points, no guarantee of many extra MWs over a game Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339296-telion-and-snipers/#findComment-4885028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigo Cannon Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 is cheaper than having Rob next to them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339296-telion-and-snipers/#findComment-4886395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyterran Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 If you are taking scouts and telion, and need the second HQ, you might as well take a cheap-o lieutenant to hang back , while Roboute and the big boys go dealing with other things.

greatcrusade08 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 yeah to get the 3CP for the regular detachment youd need a second HW, personally ive gone for a captain on bike to help my two bike squads reroll 1s to hit, but an LT would be just as useful, especially on snipers hitting on 2s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339296-telion-and-snipers/#findComment-4886956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
