Is there any reason not to give Fulgrim the paragon blade over his normal weapon in a normal game? +1 S is a lot better than rending for the most part.

PierreTheMime posted:Nope, it's just an upgrade kit that gets slapped on the standard Rhino chassis. It does come with the full rhino sprue. You use everything from the rhino kit except for the front panel and the outer side panels. So not quite "slapped on", but replaces some key parts. The little turret parts are replaced as well. EDIT: They should still have the "buy three at a discount" set on the forgeworld site. LordAba fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Nov 9, 2015 |

I think I wanna make them loyalists, and think I don't like Ultramarines, but that's as far as I know. Raven guard is a good one since it looks like they will be getting a bunch of releases soon. I'd pick them if I wasn't going for emp chitlins.

Looking at the FAQs, does the Cortex Designator rule apply to the current shooting phase? Does successful shooting mean hitting and wounding (even if the wound is saved)? Basically, can he be used with Darkfire Castellax to allow for rerolls in the shooting phase? Would work great with the gets hot rule.

BULBASAUR posted:Which doesn't confer over to units. Previously you could take a Cataphractii HQ, attach him to a squad of grav dudes, and then enjoy 24" range. poo poo sucks. I might change our league rules to allow it since it lets you do some interesting things. Gravs ain't that great in 30k anyways.

It fits EC fluff as well! The outflank really helps gets you stuck in as you can set up a lot of anti-tank shooting into the sides of vehicles.

There was a rumor of more daemons being pulled into with the bad guys... any news on that? Specifically Emp Children? Otherwise the new Kakaphoni rules makes them almost as good as a volkite support squad! Good try at least?

Recoome posted:The new Emperor's Children RoW is awesome, if only to have fuckloads of guys with Sonic Shriekers. They don't really need it though. Our characters have to issue challenges and get +1I, and our close combat schtick is to stack combat res so even if we lose 3-to-1 models we still end up winning combat by 2 and sweeping.

Safety Factor posted:Also, 5 acid dickbikes go for 230 points. I'm wondering if it'd even be worth running a multi-melta or some other weapon in a squad like that, but I'm kind of leaning towards no. I'd say not worth it unless you are running a unit of 6 so you can at least get 2 multi-meltas. I'm picking up a bunch of them so I can have an emperor's champ on a wang bike. Outflank him with the Emperor's Children right of war and a couple friends on bikes and it's a tough unit to shift.

Safety Factor posted:That's not how blasts work. Yeah, 4 S10 Ordanance blasts (with rerolls) will be the death of anything. Even with cover that thing can easily take out any 3 hull point tank per turn. Hopefully you don't pack your transports too close... Fliers are still a good counter against them.
