Adeptus-Alaska Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 First, a couple of thoughts...... First , y'all are seriously breaking the first two rules. Second, I like it here. I think I'll stay. So as some know, I am going to re start my Death Guard. As I'm going against the grain with them, I'm doing a rapid attack, close in assault type thing. I'm thinking volkites, lots of em. I got a choomitat planned, with lots of infantry based choominess, wherever I can fit them in really. My DG, will focus on the death/relentless aspect of Nurgle vs the gooey/gross aspect. So I think volkites are perfect for ashey killy goodness. Note* how the hell did autocorrect allow choomitat and not volkites? Note 2* does anyone else think volkite sounds like Viking metal band?

Shaolin_Monkey Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 So Titans don't get access to Volkites of any kind ...yet.... What are thoughts of the Volkite Carronade for a Warhound weapon? or should it be something more impressive? Long term planning and contemplating a walking titan of CHOOM! as I will hardly ever use a warhound in game anyway its not super relevant but the Glaive's main cannon seems about the right size....

Olis Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 A Carronade on a Warhound sounds plausible. I like the thought of twin linking it, though. Also - Welcome to the club, Bloodbath. We have an ash pit to play in and the firing range is out the back. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolin_Monkey Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 A Carronade on a Warhound sounds plausible. I like the thought of twin linking it, though. how would twin-linking on a Carronade work though? its just everything under the beam gets an auto hit. Would it be a re-roll to wound instead like flamers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zujara Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 My army finally has some much needed choom in it! Finished my Moritat, who shall see some action in the next few weeks http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af182/Zujara/Word%20Bearers/5bf7cb21-b5a9-4597-a9cf-de81a93f47f1_zpsncgicvt5.jpg http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af182/Zujara/Word%20Bearers/e8380866-cd98-4ae1-a4cc-268aaa07b788_zpsgppkaz9i.jpg Olis and Shaolin_Monkey 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a re-roll to wound instead like flamers? It was mostly a consideration towards aesthetics, rather than rules. If you figure a rules modification is necessary, that's fine in my book. I don't mind either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stofficus Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 So, I got to CHOOM today for the first time. Holy mother of god. Just, like, all of the love. Forever. So, some details. 2500 points, using Age of Darkness rules with my Solar Auxilia versus a friend's 2500 CSM + Daemons of Nurgle. This army had murdered my Death Korps many a time, but this time I had choom. Summoned plague bearers and plague drones? CHOOM. Everything he summoned was CHOOM'd back to the warp which spawned it. The Leman Russ Incinerator was my MVP, killing 5 Plague Marines, 14 Plague Bearers, 2 Plague Drones and a Rhino. The Household Retinue with Volkite Chargers gunned down many more; Nurglings, Plague Bearers, Plague Marines, and even fought a Great Unclean One to death (courtesy of the Lord Marshal with a Paragon blade, but, you know, the rest of them count). Honesty, without the CHOOM I would have been buried under summoned BS units. Gods I hate summoning.

StoneSentinels Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I see it firing like the Spartan laser from Halo, with the flickering charge up and then the glorious choom of doom unloading tasty hot deathrayness down range. But each to their own...(but weirdly enough I don't associate the splazer sound with it at all, too "ZAP"esque) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Assist Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We never heard it fire it could have went choom Good point, no energy weapons firing in Aliens... To that end, I just spent 15 minutes watching the future war sequences from both of James Cameron's Terminator films trying to work out if the purple lasers 'VOIP!', 'CHOOM!', or 'PEW!'.
