pretre Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Pretty sure I want to try out the Plasma Oblit. I could swap the Vindicare for a Wolf character with Helm and a troop. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Tricky bit on the Plasma. I can put Vindicare and Celestine in there. Vindicare can still shoot out unless I need him for ignore cover/denying LOS/precision. Celestine can charge out for funsies or fire with her good BS.

cadaver2k Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 As far as I know there is not wolf character that has a bs of 6 or better to help with the gets hot rolls. Stick with the vindicare for the ignore cover and high bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with the vindicare for the ignore cover and high bs. Helm of Durfast. Reroll to-hits and ignores cover. 20 points. Example list: Celestine 5 BSS with MM (in Plasma) 5 BSS with 2 Flamers in TL-MM Immo 5 BSS with 2 Flamers in TL-MM Immo 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor (laud hailer) 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor 5 Doms with 4 Melta in Repressor Exorcist Exorcist Exorcist Plasma Oblit Rune Priest with Helm 5 GH with Melta, WG with Combi, 5 CCW in Drop Pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadaver2k Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Ok, reroll helps get hot rolls. Do it sounds good to me, should do lots of killing with the plasma tower of doom. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't put both of them in the building, unless it has special rules; only one unit can be inside a building (or transport) and Celestine cannot join the Vindicare due to his rules.

pretre Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yeah, the only real advantage the Vindicare is the Precision shots for everything with LOS at -2. So you can drill out any particular models you want. And of course, his sniper rifle if you want someone else shooting. The rune priest can witchfire out the firing ports too though.

pretre Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Wonder if I have the points to get a FA drop pod as well. Drop a repressor, maybe upgrade the immos to repressors. This is the wolf list. Probably going to skip the vindicare. Still mulling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the wolf list. Probably going to skip the vindicare. Still mulling. Not 100% understanding that plas oblit tower, but some things of note: Can't get precision shots with blast weapons. Pretty sure plas tower is a very large blast, so no precision. Buildings kill assassins really quickly. Issue is that damage to buildings takes the of 2-4 D6s of S6 damage (some results hit models on battlements too). Assassins crumble to this focused fire, even with invulnerable save. Other issue is that it's very reliable to force building weapons and models inside the building to have to snapfire, which ruins precision shots a makes their impressive stats wasted. Using assassin to fire the plas tower means that he can't fire his own weapons. Makes for a crazy expensive unit without much durability. Anywho, just things to consider.

pretre Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I rarely lose buildings. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the SW version thoughZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah, the SW one would probably be better, and it lets you use a squad to soak the S6 wounds. You'll still have issues with having the weapon destroyed, not firing because of snap shots, etc, but that's pretty unavoidable. I might take Flamer or HF on the squad inside the Plasma, just so you can fend off assaulters slightly better, but it's not a very big deal. I think my biggest criticism of that list is that it's very one-dimensional; it's got a lot of high-Str low-AP guns, but doesn't do much outside of that. I'm not sure what could be changed, though, since SoB don't exactly have a ton of options outside of what you're already using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do high strength, low AP. :) I'm still playing I was toying with an all SW list a few minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Okay, I think I only have 4 drop pods. Let's play some swapsies. Moved the WG to the CotGW for the extra buffs.

The ammo dump is tempting, but meh.) CotGW WGBL with TWM, Fenrisian Wolf, WC/SS - 143 4 TWC with WC/SS, SS/CCW, PF/BP, BP/CCW - 275 5 Wolf Guard with 4 Combi-Meltas in Drop Pod - 165 Iron Priest with Thunderwolf Mount - 105 1850 or...

fluger Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I like the 1st list with pure wolves better. What are the fire ports on the Plasma Oblit like? Are you putting long fangs in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you putting long fangs in there? Yeah, the obsec on that one, mobility and such are just really good there. I'm unsure of the fire points on the Plasma oblit. I'm pretty sure there's four (one on each corner) I'm guessing that if I position it flat to a board edge, I'll have basically two FP in any given direction. Which brings up a good point. Why take five weapons if I can only fire four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
