Land Speeder Storm & Scouts


Aothaine

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

 

So I'm planning on building my first core to my LVO army after I finish painting up my snipers for the make-up event. I'm going to start with a Land Speeder Storm. I just want to say that I'm not looking for a better unit. I know I want to take these as they are set up below. But I'm curious about your opinions on how to load out the 5 scouts.

 

 

 

[T] Scout Squad x5 - 149
- Astartes Shotgun, Bolt Pistol, Frag & Krak Grenade x4
- Inferno Pistol, Bolt Pistol, Frag & Krak Grenade x1 (Sgt)
- Land Speeder Storm (Heavy Bolter & Cerberus Launcher
 
This is what I'm looking at right now. I'm debating on dropping the Shotguns for Bolters but I'm not entirely sure I want to. I am also thinking about picking up a Heavy Bolter with two squads and Missile Launcher with three squads. Yes, I'm running five of these in my LVO list. Possibly six. But I'm not sure if I want to run six of these just yet.
 
Anyway, how would you guys run Land Speeder Storms with 5-man scout squads in them?

Mid Range Dakka

Storm Bolter + combat knife Sergeant

Bolter/Heavy Bolter

 

Up close and personal

Combi-flamer + combat knife

Astartes shotgun

Those would more or less be the cargo for my LSS. This is assuming they are meant to stay in the transport, I think those two variants are best.

Scout sergeants cant take combis any more, they dont choose from the sergeant equipment list.

 

They can swap their bolter for a pistol and their pistol for another pistol. I'd be tempted to go dual plasma pistol, or plasma pistol/grav pistol power sword.

They can in the index entries. at least battle scribe says they still can. Lol.

Very true. Depends whether your local scene allows the index flowsheet. If you can, take bolter+bolt pistol, then swap the bolt pistol for a combi flamer or combi bolter. Model them as one gun.

If it's already built that way, I'd use it. But I would be hesitant about making a new model with Index options. Using the flowchart is dependent on the group you play with. And I'm not convinced that the flowchart will always be around. Personally, I think it's only a matter of time until it's no longer an option. But I very well could be wrong.

Index is still in play. House rules to exclude legal stuff seem very odd to me. Does anybody actually try and enforce stuff like this where you play?

Either way, I want to make sure any future investments are protected. So I'm planning on sticking mostly with units in the codex and their loadouts.

To not use them is basically a house rule; doesn't matter if it's group play, tournament play, or online painting competitions.

 

FWIW GW has said the Indices won't be supported going forward (case in point, see how pricey the Techmarine with jump pack is), so lot of folk are gravitating towards not using those rules (or rather not building new units with those rules in mind). Doesn't stop it being legal.

This is my thoughts exactly. I want to avoid investing in models that I will not be able to use.
