Ahzek451 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Is anyone else having issues managing the plasmacyte when tagging along with destroyers? Most notably the skorpekh? I could be doing it wrong, but keeping it out of harm's way usually means placing it behind or in the middle of a unit. And in the cases of a long charge by destroyers, it can be left behind to evaporate at 6.1 inches or more. That check in the unit coherency step can be annoying. Heck, 3ven worse with ophydians.

Khulu Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think it needs a rule that during the charge phase it moves with the Destroyers it's closest to but doesn't count as charging or something. I have had mine die to charges a few times, or I place it out front to try to keep it in range and it's easily killed by enemies somehow. I stopped bringing one for a bit.

Ahzek451 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I mean, it works deep striking it in when you need it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370039-plasmacyte-wrangler/#findComment-5691938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Thokt Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I place my Skorpekhs in a sort U formation with the Plasmacyte between the front 2. I usually get him to charge first (buffing the skorpekhs before he goes in) to soak up any overwatch. He is a flying unit too, so he can be placed further around the enemy unit, leaving a nice straight charge for Skorpekhs. Any farther consolidations shouldn't be an issue.

Captain Idaho Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It's fairly cheap so best suggestion is run it as close to the target unit as possible, using Advance if possible and hope the Skorpekh make it into melee. If they don't, well it's only a Plasmacyte. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370039-plasmacyte-wrangler/#findComment-5692940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think you just have to accept that you'll often lose them. It's not a huge problem if you do. I agree it would be useful if it had some sort of mechanism to keep up with charging units.
