Krargan Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I feel like I have to be missing something with these guys. It talks about how they use poison or radiation weapons and stuff, but are they just simple dual bolt pistol marines with the option for jump packs? I'm not seeing anything about special ammunition or special rules. Can someone tell what I'm not understanding about these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizur Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Sergant take up to three Phosphex Grenades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The whole squad also has rad grenades :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 They also have 1 in 5 (I think) that can/must take a rad missile launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Sorry, but which book has the rules again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 HH:LCAL (Legions Crusade Army List) or HH:Betrayal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I must be going blind. Have you a page number for Betrayal please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 At school right now, can't verify. They might also be in Massacre for all I know...I get sometimes get the units from book 2 as having been introduced in book 1. Doesn't help that I have both small books which means I can avoid looking up the entries themselves in the books. I highly doubt they're in extermination though.

Reyner Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'll check my copy of Betrayal when I get home after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 they're also an elites option, iirc. If that helps you narrow it down any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 it's somewhere around 250-280 iirc (this is from memory admittedly) but I believe terminators are at 263. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krargan Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks all, for the quick responses. Yeah looking back over those things they do have more rad stuff than I thought before, I guess I just expected more from them than just grenades and a missile launcher or two, but that would be a ton of points. Anyone find them useful for stuff other than ablative wounds for a consul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'd use them as a meat shield for a Moritat with Dual Plasma Pistols since they're the only squad one can join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Phosphex is not a joke, either. I take as much as I can, because you can literally change an entire battlefield and it's dynamic with one Moritat with jumpack, careful placement, and a little luck. Devastating stuff.

Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I can see them being really good with Hit&run and just going around rad 'nading squads or dropping phospex as Heathens said. Behold general -1T to units and ever-burning fire everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisdudeness Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Rad missiles that can be fired as an assault weapon is pretty sweet also...great when you give them Jumppacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AekoldHelbrass Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I tried them as moritat retinue, there is a problem that they have both AP2 and AP3. I thought to use them as 2 units, one small with moritat and phospex bombs, another one 10 man, jump packs and 2 missile launchers. Haven't yet tried though.

Secrets & Lies Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have found them useful for engaging Grotesques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 They're an awesome unit hampered by a pretty bonkers cost. And a pretty cramped bit of the FoC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nusquam Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm thinking about putting a unit inside a Darkwwing for a Planetstrike list with a Siege Breaker attached. Equipped with Phosphex on the Sarg and Breaker along with the ML w/RM. They pop on down in the the DW jump out, double-phosphex something and rinse/repeat. Alternatively I can replace the Breaker with a Vigilator in Scout Armor for Move Through Cover and DG Destroyers are pretty good too with the RoW that grants them Move Through Cover so they can ignore the Lingering Death.
