Nah... Just be as alluring as Slaanesh! I have seduced the Lord Ikarus to the Ruinous Powers, and now his brother is considering the Warp Gods as well.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH Please stop. ah my mind is pure again. Thank you brother Storm. Back you vile heathens your whispers will not sway me again.

chaos wants you, it calls and you must answer!

[GriplionGremlin]

i've answered the call of the gods of chaos! fear me for i am iron within and iron without!

there is no safety from my hordes. hide in fear and die. stand in fear and die. run and live as a slave and be turned to the iron side.

oblits can (as a few before started to mention) change shooting weapons every turn and really have 2 choices of h2h weapons. power fist to crush stuff and most often forgoten they can choose to attack with a normal weapon (not power weapon any more, used to have power weapon OR fist not sure why gw took it away...)

however someone mentioned above that they can have vet skills, unless gw changed it they cant. sorry dude.

and haveing a couple on your side pluggin away at that pain in the rear unit or veh is very handy. but unless you're assaulting vehs not really all that great in hth as they always go last unless you want a normal attack. yuck.

[MSguardsmen]

true however the sheer fact that they can make a normal attack or any other sort of attack makes them truely shine when in the mess of things. they can charge in and beat some bloody hell then blow the next squad to bits with autocannons or whatever they have.

[camo]

yeah, they are truely the only unit in the game that doesn't need to be backed up by anyone

[Dan296]

but they are dead if caught in the open and assaulted by a large unit (aka hormagaunts, rippers, conscripts, small children) where it doesnt matter if you have powerfists.

[GriplionGremlin]

actually i've found that oblits suck in hth as the normal attack isnt worth the time except maybe against ig or tau if you arent out numbered too bad. but against anything else especially powerweapons and rending attacks youre way better off staying back and shooting the crap out of stuff. you should have a unit near by to keep your oblits from being assaulted if you charge you have a chance but if you get charged i hope you have awesome dice rolls......

[MSguardsmen]

well yes you dont want you Oblits getting into h2h as that ruins their awesome shooting potential. however if stick a squad of those guys into a building and just let them pump bullets out then chances are even if they get swarmed they will give a definent good accounting of themselves in combat

point blank its the fact that they can h2h and shoot that gives them a good standing in many armies.

Dont forget with the Oblits they never get the +1 for charging and they always role dice to see how far they can actualy move. I think that Banana ment they can deep strike.
