Anyone running possesed?

On Paper these guys seem great. Have lots of potential combos. Very strong and durable. Though unfortunately they're elites and got nerfed out of rhinos.

 

One question I had in regards to the Terrax Termite that it makes no restrictions for them. I can't find am update for limiting their use of the termite. Anyone have a link to that info?

Due to usual GW oversights involving FW stuff until they get a faq all fw transports can still take possessed and count them as only one model each, termites cannot transport terminators it says absolutely nothing about possessed nor do possessed have a rule to say they are bulky taking up 2 slots

It's not gamie at all

It's utter bullcrap they can't be transported normally

If you own the FW models, or your local players accept you to proxy it, just play it(until someday a FAQ stop that).

 

If you don't own…my 2 cents is :be cautious when you want to buy FW models for "competitive". You will never know which will arrive earlier, your package, or a FAQ.

Honestly don't think there's much of an argument for running Possessed over the other options available to us. Curious to hear if people have success with them.

I think they are pretty good.

You are either taking possessed or Blightlords, but for their points they are very good, and CoF only costs 2cp instead of 4.

Personally I prefer blight lords but would take possessed of using Morty

I am assuming when the first FAQ drops they will no longer be riding in drills. So I have played them that way, but we will see soon I’m sure.

 

As far using them, I have twice, both with great success. One game was against DAs and they went up my left flank behind a drone so I was able to CoF them. They went through a 5 man unit of primaris like they weren’t there. Then into a black knight unit deleting them as well. Another game against Necrons I started them in strategic reserves. They came in 9” from a unit of 20 warriors. I had a unit of Deathshroud closer which I charged with first, then made a charge with the possessed. I used the DS first so the possessed wouldn’t get over-watched. I killed all 20 warriors, I honestly did not think they would, I was sold on them at that moment. They did 36 wounds and the only buff they had was +1S/T. I was able to trap a cryptek afterwards so they couldn’t get shot next turn. The SK and a Nightbringer were their next closest targets, but as they were also one of my WWSWF units, I bravely ran away. I need to stop picking that secondary. It’s not that I was scared of the SK, I think they could have taken him. I just didn’t think I would have had models left after taking ranged attacks from those two.

 

I have spent the money and the last 2 days combining a box of PMs and a box of Possessed into 10 Death Guard Possessed. For what it’s worth the extra 2 bases from the PM box I made 2 cleaver marines. They were something I never wanted to try before, but with the new rules they look playable. Then I sold 10 of my old possessed and was able to pay for the 2 PBCs I had just ordered. Win, win, win.

 

TLDR: I like them.

I did too. Finally using my many greater possessed and maggotkin blight kings. Theyre big enough to be used as spawn as well.

I like those, I too used some blight king and greater possessed in mine, mostly for the arms. The BK box has gone into many conversions, mostly characters and terminators, but most recently a DP. Looking forward to getting these all painted up and onto the table, I very much don’t like playing grey armies.

I'm still kinda bummed DG didn't get the Greater Possessed as an option. They're not over the top strong. Just a couple more wounds and attacks plus str buff

 

Me too. For that matter, a Master of Possession would have been a great addition.

 

While I don't plan to run Possessed in a DG army, I love all these conversions. Going to have to think about it.

It would be great non-lord model in our hqs

Ran another squad of 10 today against Tryanids. First turn they just moved up the board, turn 2 they charged 30 Termagants. I wiped them off the board without losing a model. Their turn 2 I got charge by 20 genestealers (18 of which could attack) and a broodlord. I lost 2.5 to the genestealers and 2.5 to the broodlord. I countered by having 3 possessed strike his broodlord, killing it, and 2 killed 4 genestealers. I failed moral and lost a sixth 1 and 1 to attrition, then fell back during my turn 3. His turn 3 he failed his charge against me as he tried to charge 3 of my units and he fell short of reaching 1 of those units, my Tallyman, even with a re-roll. They ended up blocking his swarm lord from charging in, so as turn 4 started I had my 3 possessed and my Deathshroud ready to counter charge into him. He called it there as he (and I) were sure I would have taken out both of those units and then have complete board control.

I kept the possessed buffed with the tallyman and the surgeon the whole game. The +1 to hit is great for them and I made an unrealistic amount of FNP rolls, 6 out of 12.

They look nice!

 

Do possessed have a larger base or is it still 32mm?

Thanks!

I put mine on 40mm since they're now bulky/counts as 2 models in transports but I don't think there is an official ruling. Also it's the bases from the ogres.

From a competitive view point I'd say it's a bonus while I'm moving them around but a negative for charging
