9x19 Parabellum Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) The beauty of the Levi dread is you just run him off on his own without character support. Granted, probably overpriced now for what he brings and what he lost, but he'll still soak up a lot of shooting with his 2+ and 14 wounds. They should have kept him at T8 though (he's built like a brick :cuss house); losing Core was still enough of a concession.

They should have kept him at T8 though (he's built like a brick sh!thouse); losing Core was still enough of a concession. Ya, i am excited to try it. Finally deciding to retire my LRC… it’s not even fun to play casually, and it sucks. It just does… nothing really. This game I just played it killed 7 orks and basically nothing else. It gets wounded so easily even with a 5+ save, it degrades way too fast to really do anything nice with it like move forward, and it just gets tar pitted easily. I am very sad to see it go this way but just… blah. also got very sad when a squad of ork squig riders and beast boys just ran over my vanguard vets. Those things are no joke, and I played dumb. Almost counted the vanguard vets out, especially when I was down to the champion of the feast w/ fist, but I was rolling godly on invuln saves for my heroes and eventually got bathe your blade because of him and a dying captain. which comes to my next decision… since I am switching to jump pack VVets, should I just bite the bullet and take a leutanant with jump pack instead? I am already taking a biker chaplain, and don’t have enough money for a jump pack chappy just yet… Khornestar and Sword Brother Adelard 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364086-the-big-9th-edition-room/page/104/#findComment-5789445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword Brother Adelard Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I'd have thought Jump chappy more useful. Also, I hear you on the LRC front. I really wish people would stop insisting that newbies have to buy them or not be 'proper' Black Templars. It's so poor in game that it's just making people waste money on something that just isn't fun. I hate that that is true btw, but acceptance is the first step.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It's not a local thing. It's everywhere. Look at any post in the larger Facebook groups about what a 'fluffy' BT army is, and they all invariably say LRCs are needed. A theory of mine is that one of the big downsides about not having any new BT books for 4.5 editions was there was no update as to what a classic BT army was. The perception got stuck in 4th ed mode. I'm hoping that the supplement, and future supplements will stop this idea.

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I'm a strange one since I didn't even have LRC's in my old classic non-primaris crusade (instead having 2 spartans...) With my primaris crusade I have no reason to get anything with Land Raider in the name, though the situation with the primaris hover bricks isn't exactly ideal either.

9x19 Parabellum Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 My BT army is 100% Primaris (barring one relic contemptor dread with twin volkite helverins), so that, combined with the fact they are hot garbage, = there's not a chance in hell I would ever waste money or points on Land Raiders. I have two LR's (one crusader, one redeemer) for my Iron Hands, which is about the only chapter that even has a chance at making them work.

Tiger9gamer Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Why vanvet units need lieutenant? Their current staple weapon is lighting claw, which reroll wound rolls. because my to wound rolls are freaking abysmal no matter what dice I use, and I need something to spread it out among the army including dreads, crusaders, attack bikes ect. I also already got a captain and chaplain. Also taking Thunderhammers and the Fist of Balthas and would like them to wound with my abysmal rolls The problem with the LRC is that it's not even that good at anti-infantry, at least against orks! it's still only str 4, and as I said my wound rolls are harsh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364086-the-big-9th-edition-room/page/104/#findComment-5789698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger9gamer Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 so... how does master of arms work exactly? I thought it meant got to fight at the same time as charging units, but now I am not so sure. The rules only say that charging units fight first, while the WLT says I fight at the start.Does this mean that I will be able to take my swings before charging units because I fight at the start? if I have him and another unit charge, does it mean he fights first before anyone else and then I get to pick a unit as well to swing first?

It means that he fights at the same time as chargers or other fight first abilities. So it means that if he charges 2 of your units and your Master of Arms is one of them, he can pick one unit to fight with before it's the Master of Arms' turn. All "fight first" abilities mean the same thing, but you still have to follow the sequence of simultaneous fighting.

9x19 Parabellum Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) primaris are good antihorde but lack cheap antitank change my mind Eradicators say hello? 135 for 6 melta shots... 190 pts. gets you 12 T5, 3+, wounds and 10 melta shots ((3 melta rifles + 1 multmelta)x2) ~ same price gets you 10 T4, 3+ wounds and 10 melta shots (4 multi-melta + arm cher) from a devastator squad. Also gets signum. Pretty close to same offensive output. Devs can go in Drop Pod, but Erads are more durable off the starting line.

Khornestar Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Sword brethren where it's at I wanna agree, but now that I'm building the kit I'm a bit surprised that I don't like most of the poses. I feel confident cutting/reposing/using parts from crusader kit and such, but as cool as the sculpts are, the poses are less impressive. Rules aside, I don't care, rule of cool and then counts-as whatever loadout I want.
