It just so happens to be the exact cost of a 3rd Dread... This is the precise list I came up with after spending 2 days going over the codex if you make that inquisitor/dread swap (to include loadout on the Purifiers, which is kind of creepy honestly).<br /><br />Having seen first hand the power of the cleasning flame power, I'm totally on the Crowe bandwagon. I think there are certainly merits to both the Rhino and Razorback variants so long as they have Purifiers in them.Euclidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830742859030402191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-76829724298780825342011-03-25T17:36:24.353-04:002011-03-25T17:36:24.353-04:00Yeah....

I'd say I don...Yeah.... Purifiers. As troops.<br /><br />I'd say I don't mind being out-shot and out-assaulted by an army that can easily take away my mobility with every single squad it puts on the table... but. You know.<br /><br />If I were you, I'd stick with the Rhino's. You want to be able to shoot out of them. Unless you pay points for Psybolt ammo on a heavy bolter, you're better off just opening the hatch and letting your Psycannons let loose. Even if you *do* pay those points, you're arguably better off with the Psycannons anyway. 30" threat range is generally going to be enough.Anonymous Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362829012549159278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-60365773940957858362011-03-25T15:31:17.613-04:002011-03-25T15:31:17.613-04:00flamers? where am I getting 10pts per flamer from?...flamers? where am I getting 10pts per flamer from?<br /><br />I think if my opponenent's using outflankers, the Xenos is going to sit in the middle, and if they've got rear-entry outflankers, she's just going to have to go to 13" in from a corner.<br /><br />the 3 warm bodies are mainly there to unlock a ride for Russel.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-59716383329473634982011-03-25T15:25:32.200-04:002011-03-25T15:25:32.200-04:00People still play with Snikrot?People still play with Snikrot?Ironweevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391135624485083057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-258481980411768862011-03-25T15:18:29.391-04:002011-03-25T15:18:29.391-04:00The Cowards!

They hide in their metal boxes!!<br /><br />I kind of want to play my Jumpers list against the new GK, but my assault marines keep trying to explain to me the concept of Init 6 power weapons, and how they now want to requisition storm shields.TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202256201375802641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-8007580175102113862011-03-25T13:52:51.244-04:002011-03-25T13:52:51.244-04:00Or give them flamers to deal with Wolf Scouts and ...Or give them flamers to deal with Wolf Scouts and Snikrot.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-87594688816033436312011-03-25T13:40:15.421-04:002011-03-25T13:40:15.421-04:00Crowe borrows the razorback. since he can't sh...Crowe borrows the razorback. since he can't shoot anyway, razorback is fine.<br /><br />the Conversion beamer gets better with range, so you'll want her sitting in the back somewhere.<br /><br />after looking, I think I'd drop bolters from the henchmen, and get a servo-skull to reduce scatters from the beamer blast.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-65648711133871359522011-03-25T13:31:58.714-04:002011-03-25T13:31:58.714-04:00I really don't see the point of the Inquisitor...I really don't see the point of the Inquisitor. He can't shoot out of the Razorback, and his unit isn't scoring. So why have a minimum squad sitting in the backfield?<br /><br />I'd bump up the number of Purifiers in each squad and/or take some hammers. Or take some of those pretty Termies you have as troops. :)SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.com
