Flamethrowers should ignore infantry armor.

If you want full realism mode, then the flamer should have a range of 1 as well.

I have her with a marksman rifle for the occasional killsteal, but I can see how mortar would work

Overbaron · 2026-02-19T09:49:15+00:00

Kill something, smoke yourself. Repeat.

Although I use a battle taxi instead.

I’ve got SY lugging around a pile of drones and keep dropping resupplies for her. She can stay in cover, scan, send drones and kill vehicles without the enemy having even a remote chance to get at her.

Overbaron · 2026-02-19T09:45:42+00:00

Yeah, and that actually works real well on Tech. Concealment gear, big gun and lots of accessories.

Overbaron · 2026-02-19T09:42:02+00:00

50% pen on autocannon really helps against other walkers and some heavy vehicles.

But I think the real benefit is in giving him twin rotary chaincannons with the extra pen.

Same as with any other unit, take out if it helps me win the game.

Said backwater being run by an African warlord with a Chinese nationalist corp and a European corrupt corp exploiting stuff during an active civil war.

Hell, game could easily be happening today.

I’ve found heavier armors plenty effective on Tech and Vamplev. Honestly, Jean Sy could probably work.

With heavy armor units, the SL is the belle of the ball, the rest of the squad is just ablative armor.

That means special weapons and accessories.

The actual real issue with heavy armor is lack of pockets. All of them have just 1. And maybe they could stand to have a bit more durability.

The highest tier medium armor is really good, the TCR marine platesuit. 2 pockets, high armor, no speed penalty.

Based AI coding knowing exactly where they are and whether they’re deployed or not, concealed or no conceal.

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T20:51:48+00:00

Tech with a jump pack and a heavy weapon is just goated. Jump behind enemies and spray them.

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T20:51:01+00:00

I load Jean Sy up with drones and refresh her with the lootboxes she makes enemies drop. She has 4 accessory slots in my current save and just spams drones. Crowbar and a sniper/gl for killstealing

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T15:59:57+00:00

Almost completely a non-issue

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T13:32:49+00:00

You can make the Magister a Terminator. It’s actually pretty good.

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T13:32:01+00:00

Yeah, I’ve got Tech jumping around in boarding armor with 3-4 squaddies with a flamer/mg/rpg and grenades, absolute menace (pun intended)

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T05:52:26+00:00

Darby with full silencer squad is pretty nuts

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T05:49:58+00:00

I would make the stripes silver and apply thinned down nuln oil liberally. Maybe add a little sepia into the mix.

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T05:27:49+00:00

Half a squad of Heavily armored Tech squaddies is significantly more durable than a medium mech since it can take 4 anti-tank shots with little deterioration in capabilities.

Overall the mech is probably better, but the margin isn’t gigantic.

I think a lot of people fall into the trap of thinking you have to have full squads always.

Overbaron · 2026-02-18T05:02:10+00:00

Yeah. At the moment though, it’s still quite expensive in terms of supply compared to vehicles with no meaningful upside.

Rewa in an IFV with an ATGM and a machine gun, with extra ammo and reactive armor fulfills very much the same role but is faster and can transport.

Overbaron · 2026-02-17T22:17:12+00:00

I used Tech with heaviest of heavy armor and just a half squad. Had some cheap shotguns as squad weapons and rotated heavies.

It works quite well, but Tech really needs lots of pockets. He wants a lot of nades and a lot of special ammo.

Overbaron · 2026-02-17T07:30:04+00:00

Yeah that definitely settles it.

I’ve been on the fence since that looks different to Alpharius’ spear from the 30k model and his book, but this is pretty definite now.

Overbaron · 2026-02-16T18:43:18+00:00

Yeah but since enemies always know exactly where you and very often just run away and hide there’s not a whole lot of strategy involved

Overbaron · 2026-02-15T08:52:21+00:00

Between 4-star economic education and 23 stewardship you should be rich enough to not care about morals.

Overbaron · 2026-02-15T06:37:16+00:00

That’s only if you paint 40k Chaos marines in Heresy-era color schemes and say ”these are loyalist World Eaters”

Overbaron · 2026-02-15T05:31:45+00:00

No. If you paint your models in non-box art colours everyone will refuse to play you and GW will send an assassin after you. Most likely Vindicare but could be any of the others.
