jaxom Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I was messing around looking at heavy bolters and came up with this. No plans to actually make it, but thought someone here might find it interesting. Roughly speaking its 144 shots of heavy bolter and onslaught gatling cannon goodness, with buffing characters, and four multimelta landspeeders to spike a priority target on turn 1. The infiltrator squad is there to zone out deployments and fill up points. 2000 points, 2CP spent pre-battle (want at least enough CP to have 2CP per turn to use Wrathful Machine Spirit).

Iron Father Ferrum Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Any enemy infantry will certainly need buckets to catch the lead, but four multimeltas on comparatively soft chassis makes me nervous for your anti-tank firepower. I would honestly consider swapping something out for more anti-tank firepower -- a switch from one Reaper to a Valiant, for example, would help a lot on that front.

Chaplain Augustus Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Fun! I'm with I.F.F. though. That cap and a reaper could get dropped for 3 laser backs thus giving your devastators shelter turn 1 and saturating more armour and giving you 6 more long range anti-armour shots.
