BloodyB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hello everyone, just got lucky in the banking department and thought those fine fellows from Forgeworld could do with a cash injection. The question is what flavour of big 'n' stompy I want to grab. I am not overly interested in being the best on the tabletop, but I can't really narrow it down further based on looks or cool factor, so competitiveness and public opinion shall have to decide it! The question seems to boil down to whether I want Volkite or Imperial Tesla, both of which are very tempting. Honestly, if I have to be on the horns of a dilemma, Knight-based chain-lightning or the sickening, oversized offspring of a Lascannon and my Indomitus Lt's pistol is a good place to be stuck :) I mean, sure, they both have a different piddly gun, but I'm a big picture kinda guy. Naturally, I will be taking the Hekaton siege claw. The rad-cleanser is reason enough, and the smash profile is honestly kind of cruel. So, what is the opinion of the fine members of this forum? Styrix Vs Magaera? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372987-magaera-or-styrix/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focslain Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 In my experience, flat damage beats a die damage every time. Also the extra hits on 6s is just a nice. This will help in the lover strength of the weapon wht more weight of fire. Also the side gun is different, once again the plasma-fusil is better as you get a specific number of shots instead of the random amount from the grav weapon of the Styrix. So if you have a choice, Magaera is the better version.

TechCaptain Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks guys I was about to have the same question as I was planning on expanding my Knight Army. Current is: Knight Castellan Knight Preceptor Knight Paladin (with options to be a Warden or Crusader) 2x Knight Armiger Warglaive Knight Armiger Moirax (Siege Claw & Volkite Options Currently) And I was wondering how best to expand the Knight Army of Knight House Fasacha for my tabletop gameplay.

Lord_Ikka Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 More Armigers- right now the top lists are running either 1 Questoris and 9-10 Armigers or 2 Questoris with 6-7 Armigers. Armigers provide your objective capturijg ability and if you push them up hard you can get the enemy to focus on them rather than your buffing big boys.

TechCaptain Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hmm the Single Questoris could be replaced by a Dominus or a different class of the big guys and probably still work. apparently you get max CP either with 6 or more Armigers and a titan or 3 Questoris.

Focslain Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 As stated above, more armigars would be best. Might as well grab a pair of helverins. Thier autocannons are pretty good combined with either Thin Their Ranks or Calculated Targeting.
