SteveAntilles Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'm running a mech list with 6 squads in Chimeras, 3 Leman Russes, a Basilisk and some stormtroopers. For the 3rd FA choice in my Brigade I was running a Hellhound, but I have plenty of anti infantry, and my AT isn't great. Would you prefer to run a pair of lascannon sentinels, or a Tauros Venator with twin lascannons?

WarriorFish Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Sentinels might be better, spread the weaponry out so it's not as easy to focus fire? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356933-which-do-you-prefer/#findComment-5340835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'd try armored sentinels. Another option might be using the alternate hellhound, the one with the melta cannon.

I thought about a Devildog, but I'm trying to stick with the models I have.

HallofStovokor Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 A scout sentinel with an autocannon. Sentinels are cheap and it won't break your heart if they die, they get a scout movement and an autocannon is good against bot heavy infantry and T6 and T7 vehicles.

Don't really need anymore mid-strength attacks. Need some hard hitting AT in a FA slot.

CommissarZac Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 For hard hitting AT I always go with a LR Vanquisher. But barring that a pair of Las cannon sentinels will do.

Halfpint100 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I love hellhounds, but i would go with the sentinels for the lascannons for the AT Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356933-which-do-you-prefer/#findComment-5340965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAntilles Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Gonna try out the Venator I think. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356933-which-do-you-prefer/#findComment-5341094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phubar Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 For some AT you can always equip Hinter killer missiles on Chimeras and LRs. They are one use only but they are cheap and if the enemy has few "tanks" they are very effective.

Shamansky Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Venators are good taken as elysian or armageddon. The rest doctrines are nearly useless for them as they do not suffer movement to hit penalty, have awesome move distance so do not need extra range, and they want to move to get their ++ save. The only reason not to take them is their price. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356933-which-do-you-prefer/#findComment-5341177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
