Rune Priest Ridcully Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Is it worth it? I'm building up my EC so as to use the non daemonic parts in 30k and I'm thinking it could be a good a good transports in a 2k force with a stormeagle, contemptor, venomcrawler and sonic dread to hopefully saturate fire power.I admit an issue I have is that I just think how much better it would be in my TS then my EC, but they have enough as it is.

Khornestar Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Maybe if you own one already. Otherwise, I dunno... awful lot of investment for an admittedly cool but maybe not the most worthwhile payoff. But man, admittedly quite cool! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363695-hellforged-achilles/#findComment-5517966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I'm converting my Land Raider into a "Noise Raider" to be proxied as an Achilles, albeit with a giant sonic cannon instead of the quad mortar (no rules difference but sure does look cool). Certainly worth a try!

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Turns out it's a moot point, the model is no longer available from fw. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363695-hellforged-achilles/#findComment-5519371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaVolt87 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Get a Spartan. You can run it with laser destroyers for reasonable points in 40k and its a solid and staple pick for any 30k legion.

I must admit I just can't take the chaos spartan serious after a game where my Salamanders Land raider one shotted a word bearers one at an event last year. What are people's thoughts on Hellforged Sicaran Venators?

It had a multimelta on it, was in devastator doctrine and a chapter master and lieutenant next to it plus the used the Salamanders bonus to wound stratagem meant I hit and wounded with every shot, the last wound two getting taken off by the heavy bolters. I admit that is partially the issue I'm feeling, that almost anything is better off with my Thousand sons or Salamanders then my emperor's children.

MegaVolt87 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Still, I assume you won that game with sallies? To get that close, you must have knocked out most of his infantry or the opponent put it in a bad spot. I am an advocate of the spartan because not only is it good value for pts in 40k, its a 30k staple you will get good use from and its a great kit for a tank.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 I did, this was before the changes to doctrines so I had just stayed in devestator doctrine, he'd had first turn and moved forwards with everything including the Spartan which meant the multi melta was in range.I just want an invun save on something that big really, hence me thinking of the Achiles before it went OAP.
