Obliterators

 

5" bs3 ws3 t5 5w 4a ld9 2+/5++

 

Bikers

 

14" bs3 ws3 t5 3w 3a ld9 3+

 

Ld9 seems to be a reccuring theme for csm.

Not bad.

 

Could you ask if possessed are Core?

Obliterators seem like a really weird unit, all at once versatile but not very efficient at the top end. They will be ok vs anything that's sub 8 wounds but lack any heavy damage. They will be pretty good for some legions like black legion or Iron warriors, but the lack of +1 on the number of shots available to the anti tank profile leaves me a bit cold. This unit is likely to be 60-80 ppm minimum (they are likely to be much more) that's a heck of an investment for 3 lascannon shots. I suppose we pay for the flexibility and survivability if you nuisance charge this unit it will just end you.

I think the first 2 profiles are good 3 Obliterators get on average more shots than similarly armed havocs. The first profile is only worse on a role of 1, but on a 2 or more its better (who wants 45 str 5 ap-1 shots that generate double hits on 6's?). The second profile again is better than havocs with auto cannons. This time there is no chance for it to be worse its a minimum of 12 shots to the havocs 8 and with shots maxing out at 18 you could do some serious hurt. Turn 1 you could get 15 hits>10 wounds>7 failed saves on MEQ. That's pretty nice damage not completely squad wiping but certainly nice especially if the squad you target is something expensive like hell blasters, veterans or grey knights. 

If that last profile just had a little extra the unit would be gold. 

I am interested to know what our single best gun will be maybe they will make the vindicator less random.

Oh sweet, I’m liking what I’m seeing! I have a ton of juggernaut riders to build as counts as bikers, it’s gonna be glorious.

Hello Clockworkchris,

I tried to get these info two times before without sucess, so I try my luck again !

I have two small questions :
- Are Icons mark locked ? For example if you want Icon of Wrath do you have to take Mark of Khorne ?
- If you play as Creations of Bile, do you have to take Fabius Bile as your Warlord ?
 
Thanks :)

This makes me very happy. 

 

Oblits at 5W is huge, and difficult to remove. Iron Warriors are going to make partifular use of them ignoring cover and being -1 ap against -1/-2ap weapons (-3 if dour duty remains the same as it is in Faith and fury, which seems likely, meaning in cover, you may be able to turn -3 ap into 0!!!) Rerolling our shots with Mathodical Annihilation. The possibilities of being tanky as hell while putting out insane firepower in melee and in shooting is very appealing. 

 

Add in the ability for the MOP to bring back a dead Oblit every round, and give them a 4++ with mortals on anything that charges them? Welcome to the unkillable wall of Obliterators baby.

sorry about that, icons are mark lockes, for creations of bile, no news yet but I assume that yes.

Hi Clockworkchris,

 

For Chosen's bonus trait are they Mark-locked? Say you have have Tzeentch-marked Chosen do they have to take the Tzeentch ability or can they take one of the non god specific abilities?

 

They are locked in the sense that slanesh chosen cannot take the khorne trait, but they cn have acces to all neutral and slaanesh traits. So no other gods, and not the undivided specific trait.

Well, Knights are next, looks like we won't get anything from Adepticon...

I’m new to 40k and only been really collecting models for the last 6 months or so. Is it normal for there to be this type of gap between factions to go on for so long?

Yup. It had been even worse in the past, for some armies.
