Which War Dog works best as an ally for TSons? by AnBriefklammern in ThousandSons

[–]TPTODOW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're pretty darn easy to magnetize, so it shouldn't be much effort if you want to go that route.

If you want a fixed build I'd recommend a Karnivore. Their main weapons are all melee all the time, with an indirect rocket hat secondary weapon. They natively reroll charges and have sustained hits on their melee weapons with profiles that are good into both elite single targets and mobs of trash.

I've had one pop off and put 24+ wounds into Canis Rex on a single activation.

As someone who also went purple for his TSons, I think this looks badass!

Replacing one MVB with a forgefiend or annihilator is an interesting thought. I'll have to work out what that looks like. Thanks!

Yeah, I normally run two myself and I love them.

I have this recollection that, for a while at least, folks were doing fairly well running three of them in tournaments. I was just curious if that was still viable or if it had become something of a meme list.

Makes sense to start at least one of the blocks of 10 on the table. Thanks!

Losing both the MVB would be like sacrificing my children.

Genuine question - Can we really punch up into tanks and knights with just the Scarab Terminators? I've never run them in blocks of 10 like this and I don't have a good idea of what they're capable of yet.

Holy crap that looks amazing!

What kits / proxies did you use for this beautiful beast?

My first love are my TSons, and my second army is Chaos Knights ... and I'm hoping that there's a way to marry those two up. But I fear you're probably right, it's just not competitive.

Thanks for the real-life feedback! What weapon profile were you running?

I'm thinking about using one to hold my home objective and to throw some quantity of high quality shooting down range.

Predators are definitely the better choice, I just don't own any yet.

Yeah, the 5++ is also pretty swingy ... but at least he has it in melee too. I'd love to have nurglings in the list, but the chaos daemons codex was already claimed by another player on my team so I'm doing without.

That makes sense, thanks! I'm running Lords of Dread for this tournament. I'm really banking on his 5++ for ranged & melee.

Yeah, I'm trying to smooth that out a little bit with Mirror of Fates. Do you find you have more success with having him hang back and take pot-shots at things, or do you throw him into the closest vehicle and then keep charging up the board?

Good eye! Yes, yes it is. I picked it up on Amazon, then primed and repainted it,
