templargdt Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Thinking about them with the new point changes. 2 Storm Bolters, a multimelta, the missile array on a T7 hull with 5++. That strikes me as pretty good for the points cost. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377314-anyone-using-impulsors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytimeprez Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I’ve been considering it. My concern is how big of a target it’s going to be only running 1 or 2 with everything else being on foot.

For about the cost of a 5 Man tactical squad (Combiplasma, Multimelta, bolters) but your T7 and really fast. Also thinking about the Gladiator Lancer. Now super cheap comparatively, really sturdy hull.

Fair enough, just wanted to make sure that OP doesn't accidentally take both the array and the dome on his Impulsors (as that would be illegal).

No need to apologize, you've done nothing wrong. As for your original question, yes I'd consider BT Impulsors with 2 stormbolters, a missile array and a multi-melta is incredible bang-for-the-buck, and my Salamanders will cry themselves to sleep from now on, knowing that their Impulsors can't bring nearly the same amount of firepower...

Mike8404 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm late, but I have run three of them, thinking about a 4th now they they're cheap.

SirJyo Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Solidly considering 2 impulsors filled with sword bros and an emperor's champion in each (if heroic support works this way) Gladiator valiant to draw fire but also support them.

Medjugorje Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I ve played a lot with them when they were not buffed yet. And I love them. Now I even love them more. I didnt play a match last weeks - i am totally out of meta and so on but I registered on a few tourneys and no matter the meta or any other circumstances I will play my BT and one list will be a sword brethren list in impulsors ( because I said it for a long time - PSB could be fine when Impulsors are good and they are now). templargdt and redmapa 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377314-anyone-using-impulsors/#findComment-5907641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastor Krieg Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Regardless of what it has on itself, mini-Orbital Strike included, it's a great battle taxi for an EC and five angry Templars. 14" move 3" dismount 3" Devout Push for the unit, into CC and then the untargettable EC (put him just so next to the Impulsor so that he's not the closest to anything) does a 6" Heroic Intervention to get in on the fun. A 21" threat range with some cool beatsticks like SB or BG? Yes, please.

Tokugawa Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) It has 8 free multi-meltas spreaded onto 8 chassis. Any time opponent destroyed one pickup(after all, they are marine tanks with 5++, so not that easy to kill), it only lose 1 multi-melta. Extraordinary redundancy.
