Hiroitchi Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Now that IRL stuff has slowed down, I’m pretty surprised I still have an account here. Thought I’d drop by and see if any of the OG raptor players are still out there. I was rocking a Raptors 10th company and thinking about picking up 8th ed.

Hiroitchi Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) LoL, thanks Bannon. much appreciated. For the young bloods out there, the reason I have that Storm Lord, it was a thank you from the Catachans during the Third War of Armageddon with the Raptors fighting alongside the Catachans within the Jungles of Aramageddon. Its used as a mobile training base since it can hold 40 troops. If you look close at the pilots, they're space marine scouts. haha I dunno if you old timer remember, but I have 100 scouts. A bit overkill but eh. it worked for me at the time. I have Lias Issodon and a small contingent of Deathwatch as my sternguard. I also manage to snag the forgeworld hersasy scouts which counts as sternguard/body guard for Lias. I did play the other day with my Raptors. Dunno if it was a compliment/insult that my list was the fluffiest cheese list that guy has ever seen.

WAR Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I remember seeing it back in the day and thinking that's a lot of scouts. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342897-old-raptors-player-thinking-of-returning/#findComment-4973554 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an old school player that my OG Raven Guard list included ~50 Scouts and ~40 Assault Marines, I approve this message! duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342897-old-raptors-player-thinking-of-returning/#findComment-4974119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You really have to build a list with them in mind and threat overload alpha strike ~30 odd ASM's >15 VV's which is 750pts with just base equipment and jet packs... Oh and you can't have them all in deep strike reserve...

Shadow Captain Vyper Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I ran em as a full scout company, I dunno if it’s wors in 8th Scouts are relatively strong in 8th Ed There are basically two "optimal" loadouts: 1) Snipers (With or without camo cloaks): Pop characters and camp objectives 2) Bolters (barebones): area denial, objective holding, chaff Race Bannon 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342897-old-raptors-player-thinking-of-returning/#findComment-4974242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
