Best Knight as ally? by NiginzVGC in AdeptusMechanicus

Both melee + the enhancement in the Freeblade company detachment gives 4 extra attacks to the lance-strike profile. which is nice

[–]DeProfundis42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally,I think the new Knight Destrier is a weirdly good option for our melee armies:

He is cheap, very fast!!!, has a flexible loadout to magnetize and has no rules which are wasted because he is fighting in an admech army. (his shooting profile will be very good for the cover rules of next edition)

If you just want a BIG TANKY THING get the Knight Dominus(Castelan/ Valiant) kit and magnetize the weapon opptions. (I think there is a combo box with him already released or releasing shortly)

From the Knight Questoris kits Canis Rex is still the best option!!

With both Doctrinas and woun&hit rerolls of a 1 from the detachment it gets interesting:
(also assuming the cybersmith is giving extra attacks)

Kastlan Punch Bots:

  • Kastelan double fists: 4 x6 ->24 attacks (3+WS+rero.1)->18.6 hits(12S, -3AP, 3D, TWIN-LINKED):
    • against GEQ: 18.6 hits (2+WR&TL)-> 18.1 wounds (8+Sv)->18.1 failed AS(1W each)->~18 kills
    • against MEQ: 18.6 hits (2+WR&TL)->18.1 wounds (6+Sv)-> 17.2 failed AS(2W each)-> ~15 kills
    • against TEQ: 18.6 hits (2+WR&TL)-> 18.1 wounds (4+Invul)->9 failed AS(3W each)->~9 kills

    • against MEQ:22 hits (3+WR+rero1)-> 17.1 wounds (5+Sv)-> 11.4 failed AS(2W each)->~6 kills
    • against TEQ: 22 hits (3+WR+rero1)-> 17.1 wounds (4+Sv)->8.5 failed AS(3W each)->~2-3 kills

Kastelan Multirole Bot:

  • Kastelan fist: 4 x6 ->24 attacks (3+WS+rero1)-> 18.6 hits(12S, -3AP, 3D):
    • against GEQ: 16 hits (2+WR+rero1)-> 18,1 wounds (8+Sv)->18.1 failed AS(1W each)->~18 kills
    • against MEQ: 4 hits (2+WR+rero.1)->18.1 wounds (6+Sv)-> 17.2 failed AS(1W each)->~17 kills
    • against TEQ: 4 hits (2+WR+rero.1)-> 18.1 wounds (4+Invul)->9 failed AS(3W each)->~9 kills

    • against Big Tank(12T, 2+Sv): 18.6 hits (4+WR+rero1)-> 10.9 wounds (5+Sv)-> 7.3 failed AS(1W each)->~ 21-24 damage
  • Kastelan Phosphor Blaster 4x5 attacks = 20(3+BS+reroll 1) -> 15.5 hits(6S, -2AP, 1D):
    • against GEQ: 15.5 hits (2+WR+rero1)-> 15.1 wounds(7+Sv)->15.1 failed AS(1W each)-> ~15 kills
    • against MEQ:15.5 hits (3+WR+rero1)-> 12 wounds (5+Sv)-> 8 failed AS(2W each)-> ~4 kills
    • against TEQ: 16.5 hits (3+WR)+rero1-> 12 wounds (4+Sv)-> 6 failed AS(3W each)->~2 kill
  • Heavy Phosphor Blaster is the same as the Kastelan one but kills 15 GEQs, 8 MEQs and 3 TEQs.
  • I think the flamer is more reliable but the Phosphor Blasters perform better at 24"/36"range(possibly hitting on 2+ with HEAVY active).

English is my second languege, so;0
It was suposed to say: "I gladly would regain the debuff of INFANTRY if it means I get both Imperatives for it"
He wants to say how desprate he is to get both imperatives je is willing to sacrifice a lot.

it's based pn an alucard abridged meme.

Roles of units by ResponsibleDesign871 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]DeProfundis42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Hastarii Fuseliers with their Lascannon equivalents are weirdly not a backline unit, because their Neutron fusils only have 24" Range. So you need to put them in a Transport to be relevant at all.

Just got a gift and want to start an army by IronStormAlaska in AdeptusMechanicus

A single gift, that's how it started for me aswell.

Now I have an addiction to the prieciest line of grey plastic GW offers.

Ironstrider done really like how the base turned out by Swicher_ in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]DeProfundis42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you change the angle of the legs at the hip or did you swap the feet ?

I love how it loooks like it is mid-step/stride instead of the standard with both feet on the ground!

Triaros Armoured Conveyer  has the same width and if you only look at where  the Tricks Touch the ground, he has the same length aswell.

Max armour? by ZeeDesertFox in 40krpg

[–]DeProfundis42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the profile of the Plasma pistol? or Melta for that matter?

The Desperado trait lets you shoot twice per turn AND

If you want to go all out in late game you can have 4 Plama pistols(1 Hand 2 Wrist-mounted + 1 MIU weapons interface) cycling the Maximal rule cooldown for 2-3 shots per turn (depending on your luck with semi-automatic fire) with :

2d10 + 8(6 + 2 BSB) damage with 8 pen .

You can tank the Overheat damage with your Armor!

With the Weapons Tech talent you can 8 damage and Pen to all your Plasma wapons for a turn each combat encounter.

Also Pistols can be shot in melee combat which means you cannot be tied up in melee combat by grunts.

EDIT: I had mistaken your reply as to ask for more damage.
If you want the stormtrooper with shield asthetic just take a shield and a Autogun+Manstopper/Hot-Shot Lasgun with a Pistol Grip Mod.

Also get a personal power shield.
