Both LVO Glowpocalypse and 40k Apoc are 3k events

I am 2x two Reavers of Legio Crucius, whose only desire is to hunt other titans.
With 2x sets of each reaver weapon options, 2x missile carapaces, and 1x of each of the others i was thinking of a loadout like this -

1 - Ferrus Censura - Laser-blater (tri-turbo), Laser blaster, Dual Turbo on top = 8x Turbos
2- Ferrus Indignatus - 2x Reaver Power Fists, or 2x Reaver chainfists, Inferno Gun (hellstorm) on carapace


What would your two reaver loadouts be?

Well with 2 Power Fists that's wasted firepower, one is enough and even then probably unnecessary. My own Reaver uses 2x Laser Blasters and the Apoc Launcher.

Why not Laser Blaster, Turbo Laser on top and a Gatling Blaster to take down Void Shields.

All valid points, the Apoc missle launcher takes out voids pretty easily too. The all Turbo just seemed like of like a bit overkill, but then again, im hunting warlords which are 30 freaking hull points.

When at this level, maxium firepower is a must, sometimes a Princep only gets one volley on his target before he is annihilated.

The reaver with two of the fists of either kind has two of each of the same due to them being specialist weapons. If I have two then it gets +1 Attack. Silly, I know, But its also mainly there for looks. The turbo reaver is the real puncher.

I did a couple of example rolls once, basically just rolling dice comparing 2x Reavers against a Warlord, assuming both are decked out with Destroyer. Reaver would win every time, even when counting the Invuln saves and extra bonuses the Warlord gets. I honestly think the Power Fist is just a "because it looks cool" option. You still have to get into combat. Lets say it takes you 3 turns to walk across the board and get into combat with the Warlord. Yes, you get an extra attack but that's the equivalent of 9 Destroyer blasts you've just given up.

I wouldn't rely on the Apoc launcher to take out more than two Voids at a time, it's only S7 and with 5 Blasts compared to the Gatling Blaster which is S8 with 6 Blasts.

And D hits auto deplete shields! true.

Okay, I do have to admit that the fist reaver is purely foor looks and intimidation factor. Its going to be the bullet sponge/ bomb that walks down field. Ive modeled it so that its standing on a destroyed fellblade holding its turret in its hand, dragging it on the ground like a big stick.

Do you think 1 D reaver and 1 Fist reaver will be fair fight? Since 2x D reavers will win everytime, id like to make it fair.... or just be that guy.... and murder everything with 2x D laser reavers.

If you're really insistent on having the fist (which with your base idea sounds awesome), I would set them up like this:

Reaver 1
- Power Fist
- Laser Blaster
- Turbo Laser

Reaver 2
- Gatling Blaster
- Laser Blaster
- Turbo Laser.

A reaver with just one fist doesnt have the same intimidation factor as two. It pretty much means it will be hitting you in CC if you do not take it down.

So i should drop the inferno gun on top and take a second turbo on top of the fist reaver.

That's what I'd recommend. You're going against a Warlord, a Turbo Laser will serve you much better than an Inferno Gun.

I figure it would be useful for clearing the path to get into combat. hehe
