(having said that i have yet to playtest the new grey knights as they are still on my workbench waiting lol) <br />I was wondering tho would it be better to drop a dread for a vindicare assasin? good for poping tanks as well as taking out certain models within a unit IE powerfists, banners, IC's etc?

Your paying premium points for models that at the end of the day are only T 4 with a 3+ save. This means they die just as easily as normal marines, but you usually don't have enough models to even this out if you take razorbacks. Personally, I think any strike squad with less than 10 men won't ever make their points back.<br /><br />just my $0.02 however. Have fun playtesting them.<br /><br />(p.s. if you ever have the extra points, you should try an inquisitor with a daemonblade. Not the most competitive thing, but it is a heck of a lot of fun just to see what his powers are, and you never know, you could make him better than marine captains if your lucky, and it is only 40 points for the inquisitor with daemonblade, so not a huge points sink.)timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992602470135309505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024719694408438248.post-10174265860035793742011-04-11T09:00:44.867-07:002011-04-11T09:00:44.867-07:00Doh!

Thanks :D<br /><br />Chances are the Inquisitor will probably stay hidden in one of the Razorbacks to avoid getting picked off on turn one before he can help call in reserves, so giving him a ranged weapon won't be all the useful in my opinion. <br /><br />I don't normally master craft, but since I'm only getting 2/3 hammer attacks, being able to re-roll that one miss can be the difference in assaults sometimes. However, as soon as I've given it some playtesting, I'll make sure that you guys know!Dominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208684284755310225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024719694408438248.post-65208101988928920352011-04-11T07:10:57.633-07:002011-04-11T07:10:57.633-07:00Howdy, I've been following your Orks blog for ...Howdy, I've been following your Orks blog for a while, and followed you here. With 2 TL autocannons per dread, you should actually be generating 12 twin linked S8 shots per turn. They're earned the nickname "Rifleman Dread" in the local scene at least, based off the similarity in appearance and function to the old Battletech mech. Also, most of the players around here aren't fans of mastercrafting as it only lets you reroll 1 miss. Why not take the 15 points you saved and give the inquisitor a hellrifle so he can plink across the board? Yeah, it's not a huge game changer, but I think the rifle is a better points sink than 3 mastercraftings. Just my $0.02, though. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the blog!El Peehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490309995712858979noreply@blogger.com
