Wassa Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Crikey. 36 shots with 4 more for each 6! Might have to get some Mordians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorakitai Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Do searchlights still give an infantry unit +1 to hit? If so, that would combo well with volley fire. So 36 shots with 4 more for each 5 or 6. Which averages 84 shots in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassa Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Mordian grenadiers, phwoar! The only thing I don't like is that to get their doctrine bonus you have to line them up with bases touching which isn't great for bubble wrapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope a roll of a 5 gets +1 and becomes a 6, thus triggering the bonus shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Its actually a double bonus Means you're hitting on a 3+ and getting additional shots on a 5+ :D ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Cross Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Mordians just might be the only regiment where the searchlight could be worth it's points cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glute Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This thread for Mordian's is so confusing.... I don't believe search lights are available in 8th edition. If they are - where is written.. AM Codex doesn't have it... Mordian doctrine doesn't give +1 to hit for normal shooting only +1 to hit for Overwatch shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domsto Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Yes Searchlights are a relic from old 7.edition, so this whole discussion is pointless. There are no Searchlights In 8.Edition anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Cross Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 There are searchlights in imperial armor, if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Sabre searchlights are in imperial armour index for astra militarium vehicles. The model is OOP unfortunately but was pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Easy to make your own model for the Sabre though, plenty of search lights available on guard tank kits you could use. Not going down that route myself because it's filthy though (unless playing Eldar, then they deserve it) The Strategem is ace, but it takes forever to roll those dice... when you start using FRFSRF, Bring it down, have Yarrick nearby for re-roll 1's to hit etc it really does take a long time so I avoid doing this on a blobbed up squad any more. It got tedious for me so I'm surprised my opponent didn't go to sleep. Had to buy him a beer afterwards (also to make up for outrageous luck throughout the game on my part) to make up for it. Best use I've had with this is on Mordian Vet's. Execution order, bring it down (Laurels of command naturally) with Yarrick granting those re-rolls? Nice for picking off a pesky enemy character whose not too tough. Anyway. Mordians (and therefore Praetorians) are the worst regiment, everyone knows that. Nothing to see here, move along.
