Making an Imp Fists army and trying to decide between Outriders and an Assault Squad w Jump Packs as the first Fast Attack choice. Eventually will get to both but not trying to put everything on the crafting table at once; still lots to build and paint as it is.


Didn't Despoilers (or maybe it was Destroyers) used to be able to get jump packs? I swear I saw an image of them and they had jump packs.

Does the IF +1 to hit with bolters include when using a bolt pistol in close combat?

The Imperial Fists ability specifies Shooting Attacks, so no.

You are thinking of Destroyers with Jump Packs.

Also, Assault Squads with Jump Packs are a Troops Choice(with Line),not Fast Attack.

Yeah I realized I was confusing Destroyers and Despoilers.

Whaaaaat. Well either way I am only crafting/painting one at a time. I suppose I could do Outriders for FA and Destroyers with Jump Packs for Elite.

for imperial fists consider Phalanx warders
