Hey guys,

I've been playing 30k for about 8 months now and never played against an army that use seekers.

They are a bit expensive, but could be very effective in higher point games and or a gun line army coupled with sniper vets.

With marked for death you get preferred enemy on a juicy target like an enemies death star. They have implacable advance so still scoring. They have precision shots so can allocate where you want on a 6.


2 ammo types are pretty nasty.

scorpius rounds - range 24 str 5 ap 2 heavy 1, shred - reroll wound rolls - against terminators/primarch's, custodies.....

kraken bolt shells - range 30 str 4 ap 4 rapid fire - good against mechanicum


Have you ever used them or played against them? If so how did it go?

I haven't used them yet, but I have ordered a squad to make a unit. I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform.

I run a 5-man combi-plas team with my fists (on occasion a 10-man squad without combi).

BS: 6 with the bolt half, PE(Target unit) is amazing when paired with plas, and it's an all around fun squad,
