2000pts of Volkite awesomeness

I was curious about how destroyer squads work? Looking at the book it doesn't say they have Chain Fire or anything... so what is the point of the two bolt pistols? Is this just for looks or am I missing something and they can fire both in shooting?

 

 

Thanks and as for my perception of Dorn's Sons, I would imagine that even old steadfast himself was tactical enough to keep at least SOME destroyer units on hand. Remember, he didn't really cast aside his psykers either.... he seems to be revealing himself as more pragmatic than he pretends to be... at least in recent Black Library work.

The Gunslinger rule in the main rulebook lets models armed with two pistols fire them both in the shooting phase.

You don't have enough troops.

What?

Oh yeah.

I'll sort that out promptly. Thanks.

Edit: Switched the veteran tacticals for simple tacticals (because I initially forgot that the Praetor's rite of war make vet's troops choices...)

Have you decided what Legion you'll be playing them as?

 

Imperial Fists.

 

[whisper]Do an Alternate Heresy . . .[/whisper]

 

That is a tempting thought. Hmm. Maybe another time, I think. ^_^

Still needs more Volkites!!!

I've had a look at the second list and I've decided it's only really there because I want a Moritat with twin serpentia (and some outriders). :rolleyes:

Maybe I'll rejig the first list so that I can include a Moritat somewhere...

What did you think of the Legion Glaive with it's mahoosive Volkite weapon?

Very surprised that no one has caught this yet, but that Destroyer Squad you have specced is 260 points, not 185.  I think you just forgot to add the cost of their jump packs in there.

 

:o

 

*Consults relevant tome*

 

Good catch, brother. :tu:

All you need is a Glaive and you'll do fantastic! :D

 

 

As for anti tank...well I wouldn't worry too heavily or else you'll compromise the rest of the list. Keep the predator is reserve maybe. Unfortunately your 2 AT threats both have AVs themselves and can get wiped by a lone spartan on a good day.

 

 

If as a last ditch effort, give your vets outflank and some melta bombs

Thanks, Depthcharge, outflank and melta bombs. Definitely something to consider. As I write, I'm putting together the coveted Moritat - I'll be proud of him when he's done (trading for a Loken was like pulling hen's teeth). I just gotta wait for Imperial Fist shoulder pads from FW now. I'm sure I can wait a little bit longer... ^_^
