Charlo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Really easy one my diseased brethren of the 14th... Do the Forge World Hellbrutes (Leviathan, Contemptor etc) benefit from the Legion Trait: Inexorable Advance e.g. they can move and shoot heavy weapons with no penalty, advance and shoot assault with no penalty and rapid fire up to 18"?

Checkmate77 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've seen this discussion come up a couple of times in the past. The short answer is no, unfortunately FW Hellbrute variants do not benefit from the advance and shoot Hvy weapons bonus. Also, if I remember correctly, the Rapid Fire benefit is only for infantry models so Hellbrutes wouldn't benefit from that anyways.

General Strike Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's because of the way it's written, Helbrute is written in reference to the unit and not the keyword. Much to my frustration as well.

Plaguecaster Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Most of them FW dreads are BS 2+ anyway so even if you are moving and shooting it's still the same BS as a normal Helbrute Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339568-inexorable-advance-forge-world-hellbrutes/#findComment-4890410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I can't start new threads atm (seems a lot of people can't) but it'd be good to have one for discussing the utility of regular 'brutes, especially now we have IA and other light vehicle options like the blight-hauler.

DuskRaider Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 In regards to codex Helbrutes, they're cheap and they don't degrade with wounds... and obviously they benefit from Inexorable Advance.

Inexorable Advanced has changed to include the HELBRUTE keyword!!!!! This makes Helforged Helbrutes super good IMO. Definitely think I'll be picking one up to add to my DG eventually. I kinda of felt like the Helbrute key word was enough in the first place... glad to have something *more* official though.

SkimaskMohawk Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Levis are going to bring the pain with those.

Bloody Legionnaire Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think dakka contemptors are going to as well... They can march up the table and provide some pretty excellent fire support to Plague Marines. When the Dreadnought Drop Pod comes back throwing a levi in one of those would be pretty nasty though.

Bulwyf Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My Levi and Contemptor from 30k will be put to good use now. Grav bombard and siege claw should be fun in 40k games again.

1000 Sons Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Grav bombard and snippy claw has been a constant performer for me. The nipple flamers on the leviathan are also solid.
