Which bolter options are recommend for ultras?

[General_Teryx]

How would you personally distribute the three bolter options to 35 Intercessors?

 

- 20 men with bolt rifles; 10 with stalkers and 5 with autos

 

or

 

- 20 with bolt rifles; 10 with autos and 5 with stalkers

 

or would you personally recommend something completely different?

 

And would you prefer 5 men or 10 men squads?

 

Just write what is on your mind :-)

I’d go with a mix of stalkers and bolt rifles.

General my current Interssesor load out is as follows.

2x10 Bolt Rifle

1x10 Autoboltgun

1x5 Stalker Bolt Rifle

 

I want another 5 Stalker, with the new stat line they do work.

 

I find using the AutoBoltGun strat turn 2/3 with a full squad is murderous. I've shot ork flyers out of the sky in my back field, or erased entire mobs in the midfield. It's damn fun.

 

The Stalker strat always fails me, and it's so expensive.

 

The Bolt rifle strat gets work done, turn 2 or 3 is a mid field clearing death hose.

Bolt Rifles are best for Ultras, overall.

Stalker bolt rifles are good too since they ignore movement penalties the 1st two turns.

Second and third.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Lol, yep.

They usually don’t need to move first turn so first three turns often enough.

I love using Long Range Marksman on top of that. That extra 3” doesn’t sound like much but that means a 24” gun can now fire in your opponents deployment zone turn 1.
