Knight Angels Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hello Guys I am new to Warhammer and would like to know: What you think are the best synergy-combos that we have in the new codex? Maybe the Ravenwing Command Squad with 6 Knights paired to a darkshourd and a librarian with bike? 2+ coversave (reroll) / faer and appropriate psychic powers reducing the moral of the enemie unit. Also boost the Attack of the Knights by psychic. No overwatch. Thanks for sharing your thougts with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeamonQC Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 - DWSF with a RWAS : 12" no scatter DS and you can choose to pass or fail your reserve rolls. - RWSS with a ravenwing heavy list : 24" support overwatch of 6 missiles with some plasma from the Vengeance if you choosed it over the Darkshroud (I would advise against it even though it's a pretty good counter to an invisible centstar.

march10k Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 - DWSF with a RWAS : 12" no scatter DS and you can choose to pass or fail your reserve rolls. This. Followed closely by a demi company plus 55 points worth of scouts. 55 points for the demi company's assault marines and devastators to get OBSEC, and for everything to overwatch on 4s instead of 5s!

Wraith776 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 A techmarine in a RWCS with a libby is my main deathstar unit at the moment. The techy might get a harness or conversion field if points allowed but is there to tank ap3 so I won't need to always jink. A darkshroud would ideally follow them or a RWSS with typhoons and shroud for some added overwatch/overwatch denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the scouts for the devs and asssualt marines to get obsec, that's a command benefit of the demi-company. And if you do buy the scouts to make it a lion's blade, you overwatch at full BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 hammer of caliban /w land raider redeemer and destructors, mixed with company veterans squad via a CAD 920 points of anti-infantry that will steamroll pretty much any enemy in front of it, yea they might be an invisible centurion hit team of nightmare but thats a heavy 6 autocannon, a flamestorm, a tl assault cannon, a plasma pistol, 10 bolt pistols, and 19 power fists and 15 chainswords. its a very ugly weapon of war that you in theory could take two of if you had too, and against mc's its even harsher because it has monster hunter and tank hunter on the autocannons and assault cannon. it laughs at attempts to tarpit, especially if you have the hq command tanks because hit n run veterans is "a thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellSpokenMan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Combined Arms Detachment - CAD It's the primary detachment in the Basic Rule Book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DC is always in a LB, so I was a bit fuzzy on the source of each buff...but the bottom line is BS4 overwatch and everything having OBSEC...except the scouts? They're troops, but IIRC, troops don't have OBSEC unless they're in a detachment or formation that says they do...or else unbound troops would have it?

WellSpokenMan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 An LSV isn't bad, it's just not as versatile as the LSD. If you are in a meta where you see a lot of assaulting from reserves, the LSV will earn back its extra 40 points very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I love him now (the LSV); AP2 pie plate with interceptor is the business vs deep-striking nearly anything (especially Tau suits for me). I do keep him in the back field with three Typhoons for some pretty good intercepting versatile dakka. They synergise with an army that moves forward and needs it's rear protected awesomely.

Hidicul Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My LSV took out all but Typhus and one terminator in his squad when they came in. It also managed to strip a hull point off the hellturkey when it came it in. I didn't have to worry about shooting it after jinking as it always fired interceptor from turn two on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Remember also that it is 24" to your units not the enemy units. So your LSV or LDS could be at the edge of your deployment zone and fire overwatch to protect your bike being assaulted over by your opponent's deployment zone.

Knight Angels Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 in my tabeltopgroup we dont use formations. what possibilities do we have in the CAD to creat synergy effects? btw. thanks to all for the responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Not to pick on your group, buy why don't they use formations? One of our formation is simply our bike squadron from our last codex. They let you use it last codex, why would they all of the sudden have a problem with it. Without access to formations, we have essentially the same synergies we had before. RW bikes have teleport homers which are good for DW units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Angels Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Because we never played with formations. Only cad. And most of us are just building there armies up so we dont have enough modells yet (sry for bad english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mika_angelus Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The best combo ever is Sammael with a squad of Deathwing Knights. Thanks to scout, extra 3"run and extra 3" charge move they are the fastest terminators in the game. Add to that a grey knight level 3 librarian with that book which gives him additonal santic spell, and they will be almost unstoppable with hammer hand and/or sanctuary. It`s not cheap, but it is amazing on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 5-8 deathwing Knights and a Chapter Master in Terminator armor with Storm Shield and Relic Blade. Should eat through anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
