Overrun on Strakov or Devestator to start the combo (in killing something)

Likely Strakov so he can charge something, kill it, Spriggin moves up, Strakov sprints closer to the enemy and feats.

Spriggin flies in and impales enemy caster.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151033.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151165.page GMT Re:Strakhov's Heavenly whatever...
Is there a downside to using beast 09 over spriggan?

For low def targets his mat will hit just fine and against high def ones, instead of powerful charge, he could just burn a focus for murderous and boost ALL his hitting.
I know next to nothing about how heavenly spear works (in that I've never tried it) but it sounds like beast would be a little better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151291.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151486.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever...
I would rather have beast just because he is a better jack, more versatile etc etc, you could always just butcher your opponent's infantry instead of bulldozing right for the assassination. You could call it, the heavenly axe or something...

Regardless, heavenly spear seems very situational.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151919.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151919.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever... TBH, I've heard theorymachine about bulldoze working, but since it's "directly away", the odds that the positioning will make it matter are pretty slim because things in a pretty good percentage of the front arc aren't going to be moved out of the way of a large base.

I'd go with beast personally.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151927.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2151927.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever...
The sprigg seems too expensive for his stats, sort of like cygnar's centurion, However, the spriggan has the only reliable way to purge stealth in khador's entire army, so, maybe hes worth it after all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2152018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2152018.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever... DEF casters.


Personally, i think it's a wash over which is better, beast or the Spriggan. It comes down to personal taste, methinks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2152291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2152291.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever...

Personal taste, that means I have to make a decision and can't blame it on the internets.

DEF casters in my area so i like to make sure i hit.

my center for strakhov is usually beast or spriggan matched with Big B.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2153256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329772/2153256.page GMT Strakhov's Heavenly whatever...

Finally, on the big turn, cast overrun on the 'jack that's going to be doing the work that turn. It's a lot easier (especially with Sprigs) to put Overrun on him, charge him 13", vaporize something with the shield, then trigger Overrun and make the 6" advance that no longer has to be in a straight line to bulldoze stuff out of the way and get into 2" reach range of their caster, then take your initial Spear attack (no charge bonus though...), and have three focus to seal the deal with additional spear swings. It's a lot easier to line up a charge on a chump who's kinda close to the caster, then muscle your way through afterward, then to try and have Strakhov charge something and try and line up the long charge from the 'jack. Bonus, you don't even need to get the enemy 'caster into Strakhov's feat, just any chump that'll die to a MAT8, POW15 charge swing. And if their 'caster has a high def, just throw Superiority on Beast instead, execute the same turn sequence with Beast spending one to imprint if necessary. Three POW19s at MAT9 with three dice (and a chance to crit freeze) should be more than enough to put a high-DEF (and generally low-ARM) 'caster in the dirt.
