Wassa Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 What is the best regiment for a heavy weapons team? I'm thinking Cadian as it's unlikely that they'll be moving, and so get to reroll hits of 1. They can also benefit from the Overlapping Fields of Fire Strategem. The only other decent one I can think of is Mordian with the Volley Fire strategem. I used to collect Catachans back in 3rd and so I have a several catachan heavy weapons teams (freestanding without bases). Catachans would be great if they benefitted from rerolling attacks like their vehicles do but unfortunately do not. Should I just sell these?

Harrowmaster Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Vostroyans add 6" range to heavy weapons plus they have a stratagem that grants +1 to hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spafe Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Don;t sell em, mix them up. As they are free standing, paint them the fatigue colour of your cadian force, then give them a cadian chap as a loader. Use the jungle fighter loaders either with cadian heavy weapon shooters or move them into inf squads that are still catachan. Or send them to me! I always have room for more metal heavy weapons! :-p Last one to consider could be tallarn for the option to move and shoot, but thats more specialist I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Tallarn doctrines don't apply to heavy weapons unfortunately. Edit: On infantry that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feral_80 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Cadian. It's the only way to make them decent really. And they are still hardly any good, except for mortars and possibly heavy bolters. The reroll 1s/all trait and the stratagem offer unbeatable synergies. Vostroyans could be barely worth it as an alternative, but you'll want to spend that good stratagem on something a little more incisive than 3 heavy weapons.

Lord Marshal Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The Mordian doctrine is only for Overwatch, right? If your HWS' are getting into an Overwatch situation then something's already gone horribly wrong. Mortars and Lascannons already have good range so the Vostroyan bonus is largely redundant. Cadians are the clear winner I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just to throw a wrench Elysian's may have decent albeit limited heavy weapon selection due to being able to make them assault with one of there special orders. Nothing like moving and advancing heavy bolters/missle launchers/snipers with no -1 to hit. Just a thought. Krash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domsto Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I play mine always as Cadia and let them re-roll all hit rolls thanks to doctrine+Order It works pretty well for with all the HWTs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your HWS' are getting into an Overwatch situation then something's already gone horribly wrong. I was talking about the strategem Volley Fire. You can fire the weapon again if you get a hit roll of 6. Great for D6 weapons. But yeah, Cadian seem to be the best unbuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegedlynerdy Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 If you're just running mortars, I personally think that catachan is pretty good, with rerolling D weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomfoe Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Valhallan mortars to shoot stuff off your tanks. Give your commander the relic which lets them potentially give another order to the same unit, now you can reroll ones and negate the bad stuff from the valhallan order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
