Ishagu Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hey guys. I don't own the Reiver kit but will be picking one up soon. The FAQ added the option for the Sgt to take a Carbine and Knife. Is there a Carbine held by a single arm in the kit? If anyone has built such a Sgt can you share a picture? :-) Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aramis K Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I did it. Not the best load out as you lose the pistol, but rule of cool. They had to add it in the FAQ because there isn't a left arm without a knife or attached to a carbine making the raised carbine right arm impossible to use otherwise.

Ishagu Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Ahh, fantastic. This is perfect. I'll be running two units with carbines, and Sgt with the knife :-D Thanks everyone. PS: What chapter is that, BTW? Edited January 14, 2018 by Ishagu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramis K Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 PS: What chapter is that, BTW? Mentor Legion They test stuff. I have them leading mixed geneseed Primaris units. My work log. I think ADBs next book Spear Of The Emperor is about the Mentors :) Race Bannon and Ishagu 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathspectersgt7 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Actually the Mentor is working with the Emperors Spears . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think the Mentor Legion has been shown to work very spread out in the past, attaching squads to other Marine forces, rather than attaching as a whole Chapter, so they can be with both.

Nalim Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I did it. Not the best load out as you lose the pistol, but rule of cool. Honestly I think Carbine+Knife is the best Reiver loadout and if it was possible, I'd equip regular Reivers this way, too. The bolt pistol is only (more) useful (than the carbine) if you start your turn engaged in melee. This doesn't happen often since If you charge with your reivers in your turn, the enemy will most likely move out in theirs, leaving you in the open again. If you get charged in your enemy's turn, it's most likely they get charged with something that'll shred them to pieces anyway.

I'm glad you made those points, ive had a box of Reivers sitting for about a month wanting to make them with the carbines but with a lingering feeling the pistol and knife were the ideal load out for them, especially the sergeant.

duz_ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It sucks that the carbines make more sense because the pistol + knife combo wins on rule of cool! B) Stoic Raptor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 But carbine and knife isn't a thing for the unit, and is rather give them knives and pistols generally anyway. The pistols AP means they are just that little bit better at getting damage through, and means they can afford to remain engaged with a unit and shoot before continuing to melee.

Just to be clear: While Carbine + Knife would be superior to all other options if it was legal, it isn't. Carbine is still mathematically superior to Pistol + Knife unless you deal with Save 2+ (or 3+ in cover) models. Generally, I'd always use the Carbine.

Race Bannon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Carbine gets my :wub: overall. So, I'll make a unit with knifes because ... I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
