IW Raptors Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Pretty straightforward question, Lias issodon allows you to infiltrate 3 squads and himself. Pretty nifty. From the space marine cad, which units really like infiltrate that don't have it? My 1st thought, is that large squads with allot of models get the most from it in terms of sheer force projection through numbers and the most amount of modals picking up infiltrate. So full tactical marines or Dev squads for example. Obviously the Devs can pick the shorter range weapon choices such as multi melta or grav due to infiltrate and pump out more bang for your buck. Tactical marines outside of the battle company seem to get dissed allot, but three full tac squads with obsec, a grav cannon, plasma gun and infiltrate don't seem terrible to me on paper, considering raptor bolter fodder also get rendering guns if they stay still, so at least if your shooting a tough target with the heavy and special, they won't go to waste. I guess alternatively, bikes or centurions with grav and infiltrate are just that much better, although I'm not sure raptor tactics really suit them. Any thoughts on running Lias would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I made a list on this forum using Lias a while back: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/topic/25214-2k-ravenguard-list-7th-edition/?p=315904 Realistically, the best units to use with him are grav cents.

IW Raptors Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks, I guess you can never go too far wrong with grav cents! Pity about the modals.. As an aside, what do people think about Lias and using legion of the damned as allies? His abilities on paper really help them, but in general, I don't hear much about Lotd and never face them myself. They seem solid for a unit I never see..

fluger Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 The reason you don't see them is probably the real dollar cost of them. Ignores cover and deep strike make them really nice, but dropping that much coin on models is tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just take Tactical Marines, replace the helmets with skulls, and paint 'em black with some free-hand flames on there. Maybe add some carefully chosen CSM bits for more skulls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IW Raptors Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Aye was thinking the same, spruced up tacs with a few extra bits and paint job. The actual Lotd modals are pretty rich for just marines with skulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
