Servitors

[Black Knight]

So what, if any, heavy weapons are people going to be putting on their new Servitor spare parts squads?

I'm thinking keep them cheap & 2 heavy bolters.

 

Mainly as that's what I can use, Astra Militarum Valkyrie door gunner figures with their own heavy bolters for an arm, just give them an appropriate head swap and something else on the other arm.

I'm going to run them bare. I'd rather spend those extra points on another Arquebus rifle or a Plasma Caliver instead, a weapon that I know will do more than a servitor firing anything.

This. Boys before toys, especially when the servitor guns are expensive and have low BS, requiring a techpriest AND remaining stationary to even get guard grade BS. Also, servitors should be moving for repairs/speedbump/objectives - without any guns, there is no hesitation to always advance, meaning they will be where they need to when the time comes.

Keep 'em cheap, blob 'em up behind a ruin, move in to be sacrificed when necessary.

only use them as my third elite option so i can build a brigade, so i take them as cheap as i can

Same: naked.

-objective grabbers

- annoying unit for ennemy

- completely hidden

- and probably most important: revival bonus to kataphron (instantly make their points  back!)

[DeStinyFiSh]

Same here.

 

Their job is it to either stand around (hopefully next to an objective) or to die a horrible death either by blocking the opponents CC units or as spare parts for Kataphrons.

For both jobs (standing around and dying) a heavy weapon is not neccessary.
