Guest Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Can they be viable? Also, barring cost, do the GW conversion bits for storm guardians make them look awesome, or am I better off with DE/alternate company bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 If you don't want to run fire dragons and you still want meltas then storm guardians are great. That is about the only real use I have found for them. Put them in a serpent and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah, I can see them being useful for wave serpent spam since they are ob-sec (and make the serpent ob sec) and can have two fusion guns in a 10-strong squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 No other uses? Avatar's to make them fearless? Spiritseer/Warlock melee boosts? Other attached ICs? How about building counter-assault units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 If you are going to spend all those points to make them better you might as well have just taken banshees. The problem with Eldar assault units is there is no assault vehicle to put them in. They have to foot slog it across the table. With T3 and weak armor they just don't hold up well.

Gorgosaurusrex Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I like Storm Guardians... But only for the special weapons, as the others have mentioned. I normally take 1 unit with Meltas (and my Autarch with Melta/Power Sword) to accompany my 2 squads of Fire Dragons, all in Wave Serpents. This gives me three mounted units with meltas, one of which having ObSec and a little combat ability. The Warlock is generally overpriced for what he does. I played around with several large units (20) of Storm Guardians on foot, all led by Warlocks with Enhance and an Avatar. Unfortunately Guardians are too expensive for the horde approach to work and too fragile to make it across the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Alright, just curious. Seems like you've tested this thoroughly and it isn't worth further testing. Thanks for the impute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
