Beatnik cryptek Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Tomb blades, what load out? If MWBD worked on them tesla would be very good, as is unless you play a 2cp sautekh strategem on them you can't get a +1 to hit, and if you face an enemy with a negative to hit mod you never get the magic 6 that triggers the triple ht. A gauss ap2 works on any hit roll. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357331-tomb-blade-load-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 When i eventually get some i'm probably going to run them as Gauss .... This is an Excerpt from a Post Tyriks posted ... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I feel like I've been saying this a lot lately, but if you like Gauss Immortals, try some Tomb Blades instead. 2 Immortals compared to one Tomb Blade with shieldvanes, the Tomb Blade has: +1T, almost three times as much movement, same shots, same wounds, and a penalty to be shot at for only 1 point more. I prefer Gauss on them because Tesla benefits so much more from MWBD that I want that on Immortals. They definitely seem better in larger squads. The penalty to hit and bonus Toughness makes them much more survivable than Immortals, but getting a few back from RP can change the game. So, make sure your squads are big enough to have some survivors. I really need to get more Tomb Blades.EDIT: I truly think Tomb Blades are among the best units we have. They're very durable and fast, and aren't lacking in the lethality department. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357331-tomb-blade-load-out/#findComment-5352547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik cryptek Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hmm, i have tesla immortals which is one reason i thought about gauss tomb blades. it's true that since blades don;t get mwbd, which i believe they shoul since they're infantry riding bikes. the tesla become sless effective.

Beatnik cryptek Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Does anyone take particle beamers on tomb blades? They're 4 pts cheaper than gauss or tesla, have a higher strength than either and at 12+ they get more shots than gauss do. They get less shots at 12+ than tesla but are not affected by the inability to get MWBD. If you take a particle beamer, you can take a shadowloom for just 1 pt more than gauss or tesla and have a 5++ save which can keep a bike alive to enable RP.
