Xenith Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Personally I prefer meltas on the headhunters - I feel that scorpius rounds are superior to banestrike, and are 6ppm cheaper! Tyrants are already BS5 right, so don't benefit from Excursor, so the other trait might be better? Immediate tweaks I'd make would be find 30pts and split the HH's into 2x5 with MM's, and move one into troops, then upgrade the dagger on the sabateur - I'm a fan of TLLC's to threaten power armour units once the serges have been sniped. The delegatus doesn't seem to be doing much other than unlocking a RoW, so you can save points by swapping the cata armour to a boarding shield to retain heavy. If he's there to tank for the terms, then make the vigilator the warlord with excursor and stick him with the recons. Seekers have a high tax to take the unit, then get a big discount (drop from 21ppm to 15), so I'd be tempted to take more. I've had fun running 10 with the sabateur to give them shroud bombs. I personally believe that Effrit are far superior to non-melta headhunters at killing marines, and seekers are also better at sniping characters, and can do it from 24" away rather than 18".

Vostroi Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Tyrants are BS4 only so the delegatus in there really pumps up the damage output. I have the cataohractii praetor model so I may as well use it since it's so nice. You're probably right about the headhunters being split in two and maybe cutting the saboteur since his main goal is to give the HH shroud bombs. Seekers can probably be replaces by something I just wanted to have a second unit use marked for death. Id like to make some minor tweeks and maybe combine the tactical squads into a fully loaded tactical squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Oh, weird, I'd assumed they were BS5. Maybe consider swapping for Fulmentarus then? They're native BS5 with arguably better missiles, and can shoot without LOS with guided fire so they can't even be shot back. AP2 Brutal 2 is good for kiling terms and dreads, while AP3 on the kraks will just bounce off. Dropping the Heavy option then also gives you more freedom to play with FA slots. The delegatus can then go somewhere else - 20 tacs with a +1 to hit delegatus can put out some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostroi Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'm intentionally not using any pdf units. I don't mind if others use them but I'm making my list from books only. Quote Fulmentarus don't belong in any friendly game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that to keep down any complaints from opponents? I am converting some up and they look to be a solid unit for the Headhunter RoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
