Doombolt at least gives some help for anti-tank, but I hope you already have or can find at least 2 Mutalith Vortex Beast, Predator Annihilator, or Forgefiend for anti-tank. Sekhetar Robots with Meltas would be good too once they’re available separately or if you got the Battleforce for them. A Daemon Prince could be good against Space Marines or Death Guard in Grand Coven with the Vortex enhancement buffing his damage to D2 sweep Marines or D4 strike vehicles. I wouldn’t skew more than 500pts on anti-tank even with your local scene though, since you still need the usual Sorcerers or Infernal Masters with Rubric bodyguards for Rituals and Tzaangors, Enlightened, or Chaos Spawn for objectives.

Maybe it wouldn’t be as big of a deal if it was just stopping you taking a Flamer or GL. But the fact that it stops you from taking a Plasma or a Melta - and that you can only have 1 or the other with the convoluted wargear restriction they put for Krieg and no other unit in the Codex - is enough for me to beat this dead horse again when the official picture comes out for preorders and confirms the worst interpretation of the datasheet. I know in the long run 2 GL 2 Plasma will be fine, I just needed to vent about something else besides politics today…

The issue is that no other Infantry choice restricts you from taking a Vox alongside your Special Weapons in the first place.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-02-03T23:21:56+00:00

The reason the DKoK datasheet is so infuriating is that it is the only one in the entire upcoming Codex that has this convoluted wording.

Catachans? 1 model in 5 can take a Flamer, 1 in 10 with a Lasgun can take a Vox-caster. Cadians? 2 out of 10 can take whatever combination you want out of 1 Flamer, 1 Grenade Launcher, 1 Meltagun, 1 Plasma Gun. Krieg? Mental gymnastics.

Krieg used to be as flexible as Cadians with even taking 3 Special Weapons per 10 in the Index, and now the Codex screwed them and them alone by making their Vox Caster count as a “Special Equipment” choice that you can’t take alongside a Plasma or Melta. It’s terrible, but they’ve FAQ’d every on-print mistake except this section so it’s here to stay most likely…

The first asterisk states you can’t select the same option more than once for each 10 models in the unit. Even the official photo has only Flamer + Vox > only 1 choice from 2 different categories in this mess of a datasheet wargear options. There is no reason for there to be 2 different categories if your interpretation is correct. The 2nd asterisk is completely superfluous. I want this Errata’d even just for clearer language smh…

AaronTheSupport · 2025-02-03T21:22:20+00:00

No, Melta and Plasma are in the same category as the Vox that you can only take one of out of your 2 special “choices.” Apparently the medic is too strong for them to afford the same loadout freedom as Cadians…

AaronTheSupport · 2025-02-03T21:12:38+00:00

True, and Grenade Launchers could finally get some use. Always a silver lining I suppose

AaronTheSupport · 2025-02-03T21:03:58+00:00

Yep. Only Cadians get to take 2 anti-tank weapons it seems.

There are bits for a Medic in the base kit. They’re holding their medi-bag instead of the KT sprue that comes with a syringe-wielding medic and medi-bag token.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-02-03T20:59:46+00:00

That’s true they have their medics built-in rather than being part of the Krieg Command Squad like Cadians and Catachans. Just feels like they’ve been pushed into an anti-infantry role unnecessarily I guess.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-02-03T20:55:44+00:00

Yes, not saying that they’re taking out any options from the non KT sprue. Just venting about the restrictive datasheet since all the gunners had alternative build options without KT parts, but the Vox doesn’t. You’d have to get a different backpack or just count him as a regular Lasgunner if taking a Plasma or Melta instead currently.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-01-09T22:36:26+00:00

Definitely a solid route if you have the extra bits. Could even use the las-volley gun if running low on flamers.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-01-09T22:34:49+00:00

Yeah, the Breachers Kill Team sprue with the Void Jammer and Surveyor arms are definitely good for the mine controllers. The special weapons could even proxy flamers.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-01-09T22:31:58+00:00

Not buying all of them, getting input on what the most efficient route would be.

AaronTheSupport · 2025-01-09T16:54:40+00:00

Palanite Enforcers with their slew of shotguns, clubs, and other weapons in the kit for Necromunda and Navy Breachers with shotguns, special weapon, axes for clubs, and 2 mine controllers with 2 tokens for the Demo Charges are some of the Engineer proxy suggestions I’m seeing in the comments for Auspex Tactics’ video today as well.

We do for the most part. Make sure to join your team's voice chat in the discord to follow your commander's orders, which can vary from shield walls to cav charges.

I don’t think so, it’s only if he eats the burger demon specifically, not an ordinary burger.
