  1. If your legion has any AP2 at initiative or similar: use that. Otherwise, thunder hammer. I thought Chaplains had to use a power axe or maul? Nope, when upgraded to a chaplain they get a Power Weapon to use as a Crozius but you can still swap any other weapon to whatever you want where available.That was pre-errata, now you're stuck with a crozius forever. And combi bolter cannot be exchanged to melee weapon.
  2. 1. If it was possible you'd be "that guy". 2. It's not possible.
  3. Well, as I think of it, without cumbersome and Jaghatai they would really wreck some other deathstars: 1. Some softening up from plasma squad or whatever 2. Keshig and Khan charges, They ALWAYS strike first - Khan because he's a Khan and Keshig because I10 3. Khan kills the bodyguard that's left after plasma trimming 4. Keshig attacks primarch - they strike first with S7 and concussive Depends on a deathstar you're after (dorn/vulkan + shields/horus with Blacks are mayby not a great target) and of course and it's just the theory but mayby it can be refined...
  4. I have to agree that scars units are someohow lackluster. Ironicaly (in my opinion) the best "special" unit they got is Xa's bodyguard which is just a coomand squad with a dao option. Ebon Keshig - I wouldn't call them weak, because aside from WS4 their rules are quite solid. Transport isn not really an issue because you can put them in a phobos or spartan anyway. My main gripe with this unit however is that they cannot be joined by de facto any character (unless I am missing something). Golden Keshig - Agreed that it look's like they decided to add Cumbersome after some "playtesting". When they remove Cumbersome in some errata they will be perfect Khan's deathstar bodyguard. Falcon Claws - In their current state I would take bare minimum just to get another falcon. Falcons are the best thing SW get. Close combat scouts on the other hand are a joke. Speeder - normal javelin does vehicle hunting better.
  5. Sure it is, that's why using this unit is difficult (and as I said not really worth it). And I forgot BS can't use RoWs, shame on me. Anyway, do as Gorgoff adviced and better do not mix :)
  6. In large games you can do 50/50 mixed terminator squad. I was experimenting with plasma melta 8-9 strong squad some time ago. Again, it really depends (terrain, RoW, turn they arrive, what opponent already has on the table...) BUT in Orbital Assault you can teleport them, pop vehicle with melta/shred some infantry with plasma and use spent combi termies as a shields and then you can use other combi. Very difficult to pull it off, unit is very expensive and generally not worth it. Especially vs the same opponent hehe.
  7. I would say it never was canon, because Rafen books were just terrible No BA codex backed them up in timeline section btw nad something like great schism should definitely be there.
  8. Can you confirm this 5000 dreasnought imformation with a source?
  9. Yes, it's one (and only) way to Look at it. But with limited HH player base in my area you get what you get. On the other hand I xpect one of his fire raptors to be on sale soon :D It's bad to profit on someone's else misery but such is life and legions ain't build themselves.
  10. He's a "that guy" of our group. He used relentless strategist to spam first turn reserve 3+ flyers, using siege termies as elites (or heavy when it suited him)etc. Well, I don't feel sorry for him but none the less I feel that Pert is quite expensive now for what he does.
  11. Is Perturabo still viable? My fellow IW player had a fit after errata, according to him Perturabo's point was 1st turn reserves rolling.
  12. Most of the primarch's heads are too deep in the armour to fit a helm. You would need a serious conversion kit or be ok with giraffe necks/ helmets much smaller than actual heads.(my opinion of course)
  13. I see, thanks. So generally more than 2 planes are a no? If I want to run Angel's Wrath like OP and invested in 3 storm eagles, does it make me a PG? Because some RoWs are specifically made for "spamming" some units like Land Raiders, Eagles or veterans so... Just asking.
  14. So what is considered spammimg? Does Pride all terminator army count as spammimg? Also I don't get this "tell your what you're using before" because it essentially means he can tailor list vs yours which is ridiculous. I agree that bringing this many flyers is far from decent but but I still can't grasp a "spam list" concept (unless it's multiple same unit) especially when playing themed list or having preferences like being fan of flyers, tanks or veterans.
