Claws and Effect Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 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.

Slasher956 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 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: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357170-how-to-best-use-striking-scorpions/#findComment-5347930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
