<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable? IG army and I am wondering if it is worth the points to give them both enclosed crew compartments, at 15 pts they are not a steal, but it seems like an understandable price. I guess if I have to leave them somewhat exposed then it can be worth it, but does it really help all that much? I guess if I completely hide them its a non-issue, but then there is no reduction in scatter which seems like a big negative. Help me out, what would you suggest?

A colossus isn't going to be moving around, though, so it's much easier for enemy shooters to line up shots on a static position. Realistically, probably it's either completely out of LoS, or dead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844472.page GMT Re:IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable? LOS. Those 30 points could be used better else where but I agee the FW enclosed crew compartments look good]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844474.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844474.page GMT Re:IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable? A nice big Russ or 2 to distract attention off of them as well as hide behind? Then No

If not, only if you have points spare (Guard always do i find).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844568.page GMT Re:IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable? IMO. I run a squadron of 2 Colossi in my usual IG list, and between terrain, my other vehicles and the squadron rules they've almost always got a cover save. That cover save will do more than an enclosed crew compartment, because opponents will often opt for a target that won't bounce half their shots back.

Now camo netting ... they need to be stationary anyways, and should be getting a cover save anyways. That might be a better investment. IMO, increasing your odds of avoiding the hit altogether is better than improving your odds on the damage table itself.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3844610.page GMT Re:IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable?

What? Camo netting only works if the medusa doesn't move. Lacking indirect fire, the medusa taking a parking lot cover save practically guarantees that whatever the medusa is shooting against will as well.

Right. Reducing all damage you take by 1/3 is certainly better than reducing just vehicle destroyed results by 1/3. Plus, camo nets stop damage, while ECC just makes it less awful (you're probably still not shooting, though).

By the way, I will also have a LRBT and a LR Demolisher in this list so that should take some attention off of the artillery ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3845642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3845642.page GMT IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable?
And I thought I knew the guard codex, but I learned two new things today. It's a good thing I never actually used camo netting.

But I have used armored sentinels singly, and I think I screwed myself out of the included extra armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3845777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426078/3845777.page GMT IG: Enclosed Crew Compartment Viable?
