Blog Entries: 1  |  Noise Raptors? Here's the ideal. 6 man squad of Raptors, Icon of Slaanesh, 2 Plasma Pistols and champ with twin Lightning Claws. Used to Deep Strike, hopefully near cover, to pounce on any infantry caught out in the open. Tell me what you think! (Thanks to Lord Commander Erus, who reminded me that 6 is the sacred number of Slaanesh, as I was going with a 5 man squad with no Icon.)

Blog Entries: 1 | i'm not a big fan af using raptors in solo assults against infantry. they tend to be out numbered and dead quickly unless they're in a large unit. i say either up the unit size or change the weapons outfit to meltas and power fists for tank hunting. having said that, try them out your way a few times...i've been wrong before

| Lieutenant  | You do realise you made me think of raptors with extra noisy jet pack exhausts, right? 6 man squad is always better tha 5 man :P Well, we can`t say much about the squad without knowing the rest of the army :0 It might look good right now, but if it doesn`t fit your army at all... well, you know

| Well, I have 2 squads of 10 Raptors that are slanneshed out ( I only have them as 10 men to fit in with my Battle Company). A couple of things. I do like the idea of Noise Raptors for close assault work. You are talking, what, an average of 4 attacks on the charge swinging at I5? That is some good stuff, espescially if you are slicin n' dicin puny CC weaklings like Guard or Tau. Now, me personally, I like to gun my raptors with Meltas and use them as highly mobile tank busters, and use Termies to slaughter infantry. However, you do have a smart idea. My only tidbit is drop the plasma guns, they aint worth blowing up in your face (tho Slaanesh likes pain....mmmmm...pain....). Also, as for Icons, I use the small icons that comes with the tanks. Since there is no such thing as vehicle dedication anymore, you can use those, and they are a lot more flexible than the big icons that come with the CSM squad. I actually have one Champ hanging his icon around a certain "private" area of his body. You can also glue it to a shoulder guard. Finally, you can cut a small trophy spike from a tank sprue, drill a small hole in the pack, glue the icon, and Voila! an icon bearer with his hands free! Also, screw the purple colors. GO PINKIES!!!!!

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Noise Raptors? Hmm. Some good ideals Mr. Claw (by the way, that's what I'm calling you from now on!) but I like my plasma pistol just in case I run up on say, a Rhino. Then I can blast it and hopefully the passengers inside will have to disembark (hopefully with some dead). I may do a mix of purple,pink and silver. Yeah, that sounds good to me. What do ya think?

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Noise Raptors? Well, I got the legs built this morning on the last Slaanesh Raptor. I have the shield to put the icon on now, should look pretty good. I also have a bionic chainsword arm and head, so I might use those too, as I want the Icon Bearer to stand out from the rest. Later I'm gonna pump that squad up to 12, cause I really like the look of them, and they are fun to build.

| Re: Noise Raptors? I like it, Mr. Dragoon!!! I understand your thoughts on the pistol, but as I said before, I use my Raptros as Tank hunters
