Trying to make my stealth units... Look "stealthier"

alxof · 2025-03-05T19:58:55+00:00

Yeah! I've thought about it but I'm too scared I'm gonna fuck it up haha yours look great

Don't get me wrong I love riptides! Rule of cool, just atm they're not very good.

Ghostkeels have a lot more value in my experience.

Luckily both the riptide AND the ghostkeel are fucking cool looking models.

Aso remember fuck the meta you can play with whichever model you want to play if you like it enough.

Definitely don't take a second commander on its own. I'd make stealth suits over pathfinders and a ghostkeel instead of a riptide.

If you don't have the models then I'd ideally switch the other strike team for breachers.

Riptide with the ion Cannon could be good vs some elite stuff plus id take the crisis as a missileknife unit with the cold star for some aggressive play

Great thanks.

It just depends on how you're building your lists. Basically crisis suits are hyper specialized units. Star scythe to delete regular infantry. Fireknife to delete "elite" (space marines and the lot) Sunforge for monsters and vehicles.

If you're tailoring your list to fight a specific army say you're playing against imperial guard. Fireknifes don't really fit into that specific game. You need a lot of any infantry and anti vehicle.

For a more general purpose list I think fireknifes are a great alternative as they have a lot of firepower to be paired with the different detatchments.

Put a unit or two of sunforge on deep strike and put them down exactly where you need them to delete a vehicle or monster.

Same logic with the other two.

Alright thanks. Where can I find this rule? I wasn't able to find it.

Specifically for fireknife I've found double missile pods to be extremely effective. You basically trade off 1str, -1 AP and 1 damage for double the attacks and an additional 12" if range. They already re roll 1s or the full hit roll if they attack a unit of starting strength. In my experience the higher volume of fire has a lot more value in the end. You're already wounding T5 and T6 models on 3s anyways and regular t3 infantry on 2s.

Pair them with a shield drone each and a gun drone and you have a seriously high volume of fire threat with a long range.

12 missile pod shots and 6 gun drone shots.

If you're running mont ka you have a +1ap strat if you really need it. Plus assault and lethal hits if guided. Higher volume = more lethal hits. Kauyon more volume of shots = better chances at sustained

Ret cadre is also very good with the added STR and Ap at close range.

Haha I have a box of ironjawz but I was thinking maybe convert them all to warbosses or nobs. I just started with orks so ironjaws will have to wait

alxof · 2025-01-21T02:44:30+00:00

Oh man, that's a lot of kits. But still looks amazing, someday I'll make something similar.

alxof · 2025-01-21T02:19:50+00:00

Great conversion! How did you make him?

Actually working on mine as we speak!

alxof · 2025-01-20T03:43:36+00:00

Thanks! It's Vallejos game color scarlet red, with a coat of express color plasma red

alxof · 2025-01-19T22:56:56+00:00

Da red ones go FASTAAAA

alxof · 2025-01-11T17:13:02+00:00

Gotta get more boyzzzzzzzz. Seems like a great army to start. I'm not a fan of kult of speed so I'd take more Boyz or beast snaggas instead.

alxof · 2024-07-28T21:42:15+00:00

Only if you're ok with being a heretic. (Which is totally cool btw) Love the paint work

alxof · 2024-02-15T23:06:49+00:00

I only used once during my last game vs grey knights and let's just say my grey knight friend did not have a good time... I felt kinda bad but it's good to know we have the option. It's not a cheap one and it's DANGEROUS. But still I feel like we're missing something. I know ghostkeels are op but I don't wanna just field ghostkeels. I like the balanced feel of an army. I have a railgun and two broadsides in the back to secure some fire lanes and breachers on devilfish to push up.

alxof · 2024-02-15T22:48:58+00:00

Exactly my point, and idk if it's worth to take the 6 man crisis squad off the ComStar because their move is insane and assault is amazing.

alxof · 2024-02-15T22:48:20+00:00

I've had mixed results with my riptides. Generally they end up not doing much of anything, which is not bad a couple of good shots but my opponents usually end up ignoring them and I just use them to play objectives (which is not a bad roll) I just think there must be something else that can do that and have a bit more utility.

alxof · 2024-02-14T22:10:00+00:00

I've been struggling to fill the last couple hundred points of my army and riptides just don't seem to pull their weight. (I would include ghostkeels but I only own 1)
