#

What more should I add to fill up the points gap I have?

#

which is 15 points lol

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

I don't think Aetherfire works well on non-osiron dreads b/c I don't think they get the Psyker tag to actually make the test

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

do they need the psyker tag?

#

I thought they still made the test even as a non-psyker

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

at least one model in the unit has to be a psyker with an achean force weapon to take the test for the strength

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

oooh, and it has to be a psyker

#

so, what should I replace it with?

#

I have 15 points left in the list

#

maybe meltaguns? or graviton guns?

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

I like Graviton as a take-all-comers option a whole lot. Haywire makes it good against vehicles and the terrain template makes it good against troops

#

so yeah that seems like a good option to me for pairing with the Assault cannon for a very 'decent against everything' loadout

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:34 PM

#

alright, edited the list to show the changes

#

how about everything else though?

#

I gave the life wards asphyx bolt pistols, which I feel would've been better to get rid of those, and the asphyx bolt pistol on my forge lord, and instead give the numerologists a rotor cannon

#

also, should I magnetize dual volkites on my troop contemptors too? I heard they're useful as well, and since kheres and dual volkites are the same price, I can swap between the two

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:41 PM

#

Always worth magnetizing your contemptors imo.

#

I'm not huge on the single rotor cannon simply because you need a real critical mass of them to get a consistent wound through on even a tac squad with the low str + bad AP

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

so keep the asphyx pistols?

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

They're probably not gonna be the most consitantly valuable point spend just b/c of the short range but they're def a real improvement to the gun for the points. I'd keep them but they'd also be pretty high on my stuff to cut if I found some other upgrade I was interested in buying

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

also, if you're wondering why my forge lord has a power axe, it's because I'm using a tech priest proxy, and he has an axe

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

I'd probably drop the Augary Scanner on the numeroligst squad too just b/c you don't really have the guns to get value out of it

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

alright

#

what should I replace it with?

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

hmm, a second Nuncio Vox could be nice with how many blasts you'll be throwing around but Idk if any other units in your list can take one, haha

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

none can sadly

#

I would need a whole other squad of tacticals for that

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

A helical targeting array on one of your las dreads would be good, I think those are 10 points

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

they are

#

and since the osiron will be using psychics a lot, I think I'll put it on my mortificator dread, since it wont die as quickly as the osiron

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

give you a good option if someone shows up with fliers and just generically very strong

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

the osiron cant take a helical

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

would work just fine on an assault cannon guy too the long range on las just naturally synergistic

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

yeah, I put it on my mortificator dread

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

A searchlight on the Rhino could be worth considering to enable some long-range shooting at night? looking good to me overall tho. Lotta big stompy robots to march at folks with

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

and can I get an opinion on the cult arcana's?

#

I used a lot of raptora for 4+ invuln contemptors

#

and I can get rid of those asphyx pistols for some searchlights instead

#

it'll be more for the points

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

I like Raptora or Pavoni on Osirons, both offer good value. Pavoni will be a little more consistent I guess since you can just use it whenever you want instead of having to get in range first. Raptora on the Sekhmet doesn't do anything since they alread have a 4++ and that's the cap for raptora now. I'd probably go Pavoni on them since they look like they'll be foot-slogging

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

I like asphyx weaponry, but it isnt really useful in this list, the only one I see is actually useful is probably the master crafted asphyx bolter

#

but that's also because I have 2 chain bayonets on the thallax, and need to fill in that 1 extra point

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

Outside of Tacticals, it's always gonna be a real upgrade to the weapon's output, I just always find them an easy thing to drop when I start looking for spare points, haha

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

I had raptora originally on my osiron, but I saw adamantine will 4+, so I didnt think he needed it

#

but I like it having a base 4+ invuln

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

yeah 4+ feels a lot better to roll for than 5+

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

I really like dreadnoughts though, and I wanted to find the right legion that I liked to play it, I dont play IW or IH, so I didnt do them

#

and I thought it'd be cool to make a Tsons list with them, and it'll give me a reason to use my tech priest lol

#

I know I'd probably lose some friends with this list, but it looks fun and fluffy

tender inlet Oct 8, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

Hey, as long as you let folks know what they’ll be up against ahead of time so they like, drop the flamers from their list, I’m sure you’ll be able to get some good games in

#

And as much of a boogie man people make of dreads seeing an army like this across the table will at the very least look extremely cool when it’s all painted and together

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

yeah, a Rage (4) Contemptor Dread with double fists and gravitons sounds like something scary to go against

#

because that WLT seems so insane on a dread, I dont have psychic, or psychic weapons, so losing that means nothing to me already, then I gain adamantium will 3+, and just get rage as powers are casted around me

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

tender inlet And as much of a boogie man people make of dreads seeing an army like this acros...

that's what I cant wait for, idk how I'm gonna do the venerable ancient, I want it to be unique and cool looking, and since I'm using 1 of every dread already, I gotta do some converting

#

an osiron I cant use since I'm using one, the Tsons special contemptor I was gonna use for the mortificator dread, and the normal plastic dreads were gonna be my troops

#

so I want my venerable to stand out, not look the same, and be menacing as he's not happy that he lost his psychic powers

sturdy sundial Oct 8, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

tender inlet And as much of a boogie man people make of dreads seeing an army like this acros...

the worst part is, they may be concerned about the contemptors, and how many there are in my list too, but I also have 2 leviathans I keep forgetting exist in my list

#

and I wanted them to be as shooty as possible, which is why I gave them double storm cannons

#

thank you for all the help though @tender inlet
