With all that being said, I have yet to have my Engines reach my opponent before I lose more than 1, they're 80 points each so only 240 for a squad of 3. Keeping them in cover, and rushing them behind my Sister squads as a means of counter assault seems to work very very well.

In the two games they managed to kill 5 TH/SS Terminators that were tarpitted against 13 Sisters in combat from the previous turn, and in the second game they killed a Honor Guard Squad with a Chapter Master.

What do you all think? I'm starting to think they've become much more useful, and I've invested into buying 3 off of GW. Anyone have anymore hints and tactics to how I should run these?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417300.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417300.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417310.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417310.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417323.page GMT
Anyways, I'd say have them run behind rhinos or have them weave in and out of combat. They are pretty simple machines :p can't do a whole lot with them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417329.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417329.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417531.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1417531.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418045.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418045.page GMT
Open-topped. Run in squadron.

Every 3,4,5 and 6 would kill them while penetration.

2,3,4,5 and 6 for AP1 weapon.

And every shooty army could easily penetrate them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418119.page GMT apoc or some variant that allows you to outflank them or come in from a table edge close to the enemy because pretty much anything shooting will kill them except lasguns.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418628.page GMT They are just very tough to protect on the way in. AV11 and Open-topped kicks them in the backside. Doubly so when squadroned.

But, if you can overcome the lack of cover saves for large targets like that, I'd say run them hard and fast at the enemy lines.

I would really like to see an army full of PEs, Repentia, and/or Arcos on the table.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418679.page GMT
ps - The unit is much better in other game modes: ie apocalypse games when combined with Flank March and planetstrike to take out bastions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284666/1418912.page GMT
