The Pounder Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Like the title says guys, what do you think is the best armaments for Bullgryn with the new codex? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376784-best-bullgryn-load-outs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsc Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Weaponwise? Gauntlets, without a doubt. Maulgryns went up in price by 5 points and the only thing they gained is -1 dmg. Gauntgryns stayed the same price, gained -1 dmg, +1 Strength, +6" range and AP1 . S7 AP1 D2 (Mauls) isn't scary at all in the current meta (considering they went up in price, the Maul should've stayed +2Str so they where S8 at the very least) while a squad of Bullgryns each firing of D6 S4 AP1 shots at 18" range (Gauntlets) is pretty decent and allows them to be a bit proactive. - and they still got 4 S6 attacks in close combat which, while not amazing, is enough to deal with plenty of targets that might want to tie up your infantry and/or vehicles. Shieldwise? It depends. In general I'd say Bruteshields for the 4++ is best (2+ without AoC isn't amazing currently, too much AP everywhere), but if you have stuff like an Aegis Defense Line for that -1 AP or a Primaris Psyker giving them a 5++, then I can see the appeal of Slabshields.

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Bulls will be more durable, but I think it’s important to remember ogryns will be doing roughly the same in melee as gauntlet bullgryns while being able to shoot i ln melee Edited December 6, 2022 by Inquisitor_Lensoven Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376784-best-bullgryn-load-outs/#findComment-5890349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ming Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hard to say really, the mauls arnt really worth 5pts per model Ogryns look decent, but lack of a decent save is problematic But then again storm bolters and such aint worth 5pts either Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376784-best-bullgryn-load-outs/#findComment-5890420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Thanks for the advice lads. I’m going with the gauntlets I think. The models I’ve bought can only really be Bullgryn so Ogryn are out. Thanks again.
