Lord Blackwood Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 So I am thinking about running a fully melee 2000 point list. It probably won't be super competitive the synergies may or may not work but I wanna roll with the melee knight dream.

ImperialSquishiness Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Krast is probably the best in terms of melee output, plus being a mechanicus house gives you access to stratagems for keeping you in the fight longer. Griffith for extra attacks is never a bad thing either. The only buffs Terryn give are movement ones, although do have a fight twice stratagem.

sal of manders Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Overall, I'd say krast has the highest theoretical damage potential, if that's what you're favoring; however... Griffith is going to have the highest reliable damage output (assuming you get the charge) WITHOUT spending command points, AND all your knights get the bonus. terryn is best at ensuring you get the charge in the first place (and therefore strike first, if that's your priority) so I would say krast, Griffith, or terryn, if you're focused on damage, Cadmus or mortan if you want more balance between offense and defense, hawkshroud if you want to just not care about damage. overall, I'd actually say go with Griffith if you're comfortable with your dice rolling.

Stray Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Griffith looks good for the first turn, but that extra attack becomes less impactful as your Knights take damage. Krast's re-rolls on the other hand likely become more impactful as the game goes on and you deteriorate. Headsmans mark is also another helpful relic. Damage 8 Chainsword and Gauntlet is nothing to be sniffed at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage 8 Chainsword and Gauntlet is nothing to be sniffed at... 1. it's not just the extra attack, but the mortal wounds options 2. re-rolls and deterioration are a fair point; maybe even enough to decide things. 3. headsman's mark only applies to one model though Damage d3+1 feet... 4. a very strong point, but again, only applies to one of your models. I think the real question is do you want mechanicus or imperial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'd certainly give that a run out for a laugh, Though I'd be running it as krast for the rerolls. Their strat for 1 CP is great too when used on feet, each hit becoming two hits (or three verses chaos) has real potential when you're throwing 12 dice. It's like an angry combat based endless fury Hoping to go get a game tonight, might give this a go, if not I'm running a tournament on Saturday and this could be a laugh - was going to take the Atrapos but could be swayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Having played Krast, I love it. Those re-rolls are really clutch, especially on things like the Warglaive - just don't let them get bogged down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
