The thunder hammer is on Adonis for a good reason. I really needed a vicious IC-of-the-enemy hunter/big tank killer, and the Thunder hammer works. Plus, if it hits the person i'm attacking, they don't strike until after I1 blows the next turn, so the initiative is never really wasted. Plus, both of these HQ's will be running with assault squads for back up, so i'm not too worried about I5. He's got a 10 man meat shield, three wounds, etc... He'll be fine. Keep in mind too he will be based off the Emperors Champion Model, so I wonder how to model certain things on it.
The teleport homer should have been moved the scout squad sergeant. Not sure why it isn't.
Assault cannons are in there for the versatile role they offer. If there were a better weapon choice, I would take it, but a heavy flamer is a little pointless, and the cyclone missile launcher too IMO. If I could find the pts. for a 6th man, I would, but I just don't see it.
I would drop Venerable from Seneca, but it's fluffy. He is the only dreadnought in Chapter History. However, i'll take a look at my builder program on the laptop and see what the dropping of it achieves.
A lot of people seem to have issues with the bolter-tac squads having missile launchers... Should I just change them back to bolt pistol & CCW, with meltaguns? Or would you guys have a better idea how to set them up maybe?
Cleanse and purify doesn't really fit the Chapter fluff. The two advantages I have: 'Take the Fight to them' and 'See, But Don't Be Seen' as well as "Flesh Over Steel' and 'We Stand Alone' all fit the Chapter background very well. But the trait is one I like. I'm a bit of a Salamander fan.
I might try to find the pts. for two more power fists on the Sergeants in the assault squads. But again, I'm at a loss as to where to gain those pts. SO far I could loose the Venerable, and perhaps loose the missile launcher on Seneca. I'll have to do some math.
The Dev squad should have like, 3 missile launchers, as I ran out of pts. for the other.
So.. Should I drop the Venerable upgrade, the missile launcher on the dread, and maybe the second ass can in favor of power fists on the assault squads, a fourth missile launcher for the devastators, and then see what pts. I got left then? |
