6 of them?

I love TH/SS termies too. I had 5 punch through 1,500pts worth of 'nids once.
I put them with the top beatstick around- lysander. If I hadn't of started raven guard, salamanders were choice #2. I would do them now, but I've started DKoK...and BA...and GK...and buying trenches...so yeah. A while off.

Word
Salamander TH/SS Termies are the best though, as all of their Thunder hammers are master crafted for free.
I have made a conversion for Tu'Shan of the Salamanders and when I field him I always use the Lysander rules... he's a bucket of whoop

So the best beatstick, along with 5 TH/SS termies, all master-crafted? ouch.
I use lysander as my RG 1st compan captain.
I might use vulkan...but is that...pushing it? yeah. I already have about 20 HQ choices in my army, like I need any more...

Do you run Vulken and Lysander?
In how many points?

But back to mephiston. He is extremely over-powered IMO.
Assault termies with Lysander will crump him, but a Land Raider will likely be necessary to catch him.
Not to mention a huge chunk of that super-unit will unfortunatly go down with him.
So yes i can kill him. But it's going to take 650 points of my 1650 SM force.
ing mephiston.

Actually, I was telling him how I used Lysander as an OT comment to the tangent I created about the Termies and such, I only run Vulkan and Lysander( Tu'Shan) in our Apocalypse games.

Lysander isn't necessary to kill Mephiston, 5 Salamander TH/SS Termies can do it just fine on their own. That was my original point before it the conversation slipped OT.
You could even throw one more in and have 6 Terminators and still be 10 points under Mephiston.
