The scourge have tons of shards to throw plus 2 tank killer guns per every 5 but my reavers have wiped many squads with the cluster caltrops plenty of times. i have only just begun with my scourge squad so I will have to continue my testing and see what works the best for me]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4102795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4102795.page GMT
I mostly shoot blasters with my reavers, or try to hide with turbo boosting for some surprise attack. Never tried the caltrop upgrade yet. I haven't had any opportunity to boost them over someone without leaving them open for assault.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4103154.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4103154.page GMT str 6 hits from the cluster caltrops. If you get decent enough rolls you may be able to wipe the entire squad with one go.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4103938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4103938.page GMT DE die very easy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4104052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4104052.page GMT
I never had any great luck with them so far, they usually gets killed as soon as anyone looks at them. Maybe I should try to run them with caltrops and see if they at least can do some damage before dying.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4104881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4104881.page GMT lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4104884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4104884.page GMT IMO,

Haywire Blasters are fantastic at suppressing enemy vehicles and they can put the hurt on infantry with a good amount of poison shots too.
Finding a suitable place to DS isnt always easy without opening them up to assault (to which they die easily) but you can always deploy them as normal (in cover) as they are mobile with decent range.

If I do take any I take a squad of 5 with either 2 Haywire Blasters or 1 Haywire and 1 Heat Lance

Reavers can be good if run with Sliscus and can be handy at pinning lootas etc with the Grav Talon upgrade. However once you've zoomed you are nearly always within assault range (fatal) or rapid fire range (probably fatal even with 3++). Given their cost they simply do not have the survivability to be a particularly efficient unit.

As the Caltrops cannot be used on vehicles I never take them and much prefer the Grav Talon due to the pinning test it forces.
2 x 3 man squads with 1 Heat Lance in each can be a good suicide unit to bust tanks.

However, if there were a way to take Reavers as Troops then this wouldn't even be a discussion!

Personally I like scourges. Running them with heat lances or blasters out of a portal gets you just as close but costs less. You get the same number of special weapons as a 6 man squad and break/can't rally at the same point. The other difference is that you loose one point of tougness for being able to take a save against a flamer unlike turbo boosting reavers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4109655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4109655.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4109674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/440503/4109674.page GMT pg 58 of the DE codex. It's a really effective weapon.
