Rules for Land Raider Achilles Discussion of rules in Warhammer 40K - use for existing rules only, for discussing new rules or changes/alternatives use the Rules Development forum Moderator: mattjgilbert. Aug 01, 2011 And Games Workshop is the official source of all Warhammer 40,000 rules. The money trail is all fine and dandy. And the claim by Forgeworld that the rules are legit are fine and dandy, too. But even GW makes a point of clearly stating in their rules that the rules are 'sacrosanct' or 'guideline' as each group of players wants them to be.
“Back generally there”? I said the Achilles functions best in the 2nd series, I never said it has been intended to remain in the back.You have got a very first series of invasion tanks and devoted assault troops. You have got a second line that comes after to supply supporting fireplace and take advantage of any breaches in the foe line. Then you possess your back series with lengthy range fire-support.The Land Raider Crusader is a very first line container, the Property Raider Achilles is definitely a second line tank, the Land Raider Helios will be a back line container. It's i9000 a enjoyment military to play in a informal type scenario. I've played them competitively a few time and when I do I consider somé Knights with them bécause the vehicles are still not in a good place.
Why are usually they still so certainly bad?Potential predators are great but with contemptors obtaining cheaper (especially with Butcher cannons), that's possibly going to be the method to move now. Other than that you're still left with the Land Raider ánd it's 4 Lascannons - which continually confused me, why the hell consider Lascannons (long variety anti-tank) ón something you'ré going to be getting into close up quarters??? At minimum provide us some Large bolter options or probably some brrrrt spónsons.Thats why l including the Achillies therefore much - it simply suits the MO óf a land raidér.
The Land Raider comes with numerous alternatives in 30,000 warfare. For the Legion Property Raider Battle Squadron, there are usually three like variants to choose between: the Phóbos, the Proteus, ánd the Achilles.
0f these, its worth noting that can consider the Phobos as a devoted transport (or the Spártan - but we'Il chat about that variant in a later evaluation as it offers its very own entry in the military list!).The major variations between these three options are usually as follows:(1) The Phobos is handled as an assault automobile (i.elizabeth. Squads can attack the convert they disembark) - therefore this makes the tank perfect for assault style armies (Globe Eaters, etc.).(2) The Achilles provides a specific rule known as Ferromantic Invulnerability. Place brief, it ignores the exclusive effects of Lance and Melta attacks and reduces the results of just one hits by -1 on the harm graph.(3) The Proteus offers no exclusive rules of which to speak. Which makes it kind of the 'vanilla' flavour of the Iand raider.Of training course, the points values of these tanks are very different, as are their armaments. The Proteus provides the traditional lascannons, the Phobos will get them and a heavy bolter, and the Achilles goes in for quád mortars and muIti-meltas.Of thé numerous upgrades, one seems like no-brainérs to me.
Clearly: armoured ceramite for the Phobos and Proteus (the Achilles currently has it). This helps greatly with survivability.Beyond that, right here are a several build tips to believe through (noting that a full Legion Land Raider Fight Squadron may have got upward to three Iand raiders of ány taste in the squadron).Legion Phobos, armoured ceramite, frag assault launchers, havoc launcher (295 factors)Add more a hunter-kiIler missile to flavor. This is usually the tank to provide your soldiers to the top collection. Replace the havoc launcher with extra shield if preferred, or maybe include in some heavy flamers if you're making use of Salamanders or Dying Guard. The control tank upgrade may also be wonderful to have got.Legion Proteus, armouréd ceramite, exploratory áugury internet, havoc launcher (285 factors)The exploratory augury web can be a unique upgrade distinct to the Proteus. In brief, it can assist your reserves arrive on the desk, or prohibit your opponents. This can make it a fantastic 'manipulator' and I can readily discover it getting used in trainer legions like the Raven Guard or Alpha dog Legion.
But actually a Planet Eaters fall pod based military would benefit.Legion Achilles (300 points)Naked, its still awesome. Include in an extra multi-melta just for fun - or simply to get the job done.
