How to best use Striking Scorpions?


Claws and Effect

Recommended Posts

First off, I don't particularly care if they are a strong unit. I will be using them regardless, because they have sentimental value to me (first ever 40k models were 2 metal Scorpions in a blister pack in 1994 or so).

 

What I want to know is how to best leverage them in a list that will combine a Wraith focused Lugganath force with Harlequin Troupes.

 

Things they excel at? Things best avoided with them? Etc.

Best use that me and a couple of others have come up with,  is to deploy them from the webway in to a opponents back line unit that likes to sit in cover.

 

Run a warlock /spirtseer up to give them the +1 to hit in combat and have them charge the unit thats in cover (expect to lose a model at least to overwatch) then apply the strat that gives extra attacks for a 6+ to hit... this is now actually a 4+ due to the power & the scorpians native ability.  The exarch is getting two extra attacks with his claw for every 4+ due to his rules.

 

If you have the points and the HQ slot take Karandars as well, as his ability stacks... end result is if the exarch gets in his 3 attacks could easily end up as 9 hits!  :devil:
