Montuhotep Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Straight-forward enough question, I suppose, but I'm in need of advice from those who actually play 'Tearers instead of my own thoughts. If you take a FT captain on a bike with a storm shield, there is some adequate shooting from the twin bolters and some good protection. He comes with a standard chainsword, of course, but would you upgrade to Severer or the generic Teeth of Terra? I realise this is the old question of attacks v damage but I'm cut down the middle, so would appreciate some advice. P.S: I think it's daft you can't put a Primaris Captain on a bike, but you can do a Prime Chappy biker....

Karhedron Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 P.S: I think it's daft you can't put a Primaris Captain on a bike, but you can do a Prime Chappy biker.... It's annoying but just what models they have produced I guess. Mind you, the Outrider sergeant makes a nice basis for a Captain on Bike conversion. Back to the OP, I favour Teeth of Terra. Quantity has a quality all of its own! librisrouge and Montuhotep 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeonDragon Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I think the storm shield can be ditched. A captain already gets a 4++, so really all you are losing is an effective 2+. Unless you think you are regularly going to be targeted by AP 0 or 1 shots en masse, then I think you can drop it. If you do, this then opens up the ability to have two melee weapons.... so you could take the Severer or Teeth of Terra, then a power fist or thunder hammer. Or take a power fist or thunder hammer and a lightning claw... you get the idea. You then have a fast, mobile, tough and very versatile melee missile that can shred hordes as well as smash tanks, monsters or knights.

Xenith Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Teeth of terra, no question. You're looking at +3A vs a mortal on a 5+ to wound, so realistically you're looking at 1-2 mortals versus 3x D2 attacks. The additional S is moot as FT's get +1 to wound anyway, so both weapons wound MEQ on a 2+. Severer has the advantage vs Gravis, as you might be able to do a few D2 hits then plink off any leftover wounds with mortals. Against T3 I think more attacks is better overall.
