How do you run Warrior Acolytes?

3 Warrior Acolytes in Psyback?

10 Warrior Acolytes with bolters/stormbolters and other special weapons in a transport?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5624714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5624714.page GMT Re:GK: Warrior Acolytes

However, Helldrakes are very common in my local meta and so I'd prefer giving the unit a transport.

Doesn't putting them in a transport make them a juicier hd target? They will be nicely bunched up for baleflaming after vector strikes destroy the transport.
Yes I'm struggling to mitigate multi hd builds without all terminator GK lists!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5625262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5625262.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5625665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5625665.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5627552.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5627552.page GMT Re:GK: Warrior Acolytes

Pretty much this, I run two ravens and fill them with 3 man melta squads, either for taking last turn objectives or just suicide AT unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5627918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5627918.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes IG Storm Troopers or something?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5629827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5629827.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes IG. If you buy a cadian and catachan box you can make 20 men, who all have some flavour with a kitbash. Throw in some spare bolt guns you have lying around (because who doesn't?) and you'll have 20 ready to go.

I'm also surprised no one has mentioned the chimera. I faced a nasty Coteaz list which just spammed bolt guns and 2 jokaeros in a chimera. My wolves were dying in droves. fething rending boltguns -_-]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5629850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5629850.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5631104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5631104.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes ADL they're practically invisible on turn 1, and also gives your troops some cover when the chimerae do get destroyed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632159.page GMT Re:GK: Warrior Acolytes
That was an interesting idea about the cadians and catachans. I may look into that. I was also thinking of using some corporation marines from Mantic's Warpath. They look pretty good and they're cheap as chips.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632369.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632373.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes

Coteaz, 9 acolytes and 3 inquisitorial servitors.


I do this, using Plasma Servitors. It's basically the only optimized part of my list and performs just as well as I expected. Prescience + Plasma Cannons is outrageous.

As for which units to use, I thought it would be fun to load up on Xenos infantry all modeled with bolters and purity seals and other Inquisitorial/IG knickknacks. I bought a box of Cadians then went to an online bit store and grabbed pieces of a tau fire warrior, dark eldar wych, eldar guardian, and a kroot. It cost almost nothing, just cents per piece, and IMHO looks outrageously cool that Coteaz has a Dark Eldar Interrogator, etc. Everything is 100% WYSIWYG with bolters and chainswords, too.

It's an Inquisitorial Retinue, according to the fluff you can do literally anything you feel like, there are no official models so it's not even "counts as", whatever you chose is the real model. I've been thinking of going further, lol, maybe a Necron and Ork added to the mix.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632642.page GMT GK: Warrior Acolytes

Just curious has anyone run Coteaz in a unit with 3x Plasma Servitors, 2x Monkeys and the rest bolter henchmen as deep strike defence. Be cool to see the monkeys upgrade the plasma cannons. Also be really good if coteaz got the ignores cover power and combined it with prescience for some accurate cover ignoring plasma cannons.


The monkeys can't really upgrade the Plasma Cannons, [strike]they can't upgrade the range[/strike], giving them Rending is pointless unless you're shooting at Land Raiders and the defensive upgrades aren't a big deal assuming the unit is hiding in ruins or behind an ADL.

Edit: Hmm, actually, re-reading the rule, it just says it can't affect Template weapons, so I guess Blast stuff could get a +12" range.

A Quad Gun is fun for Coteaz, if anything drops within 12" of him he can fire the quad gun as per I've Been Expecting You, then add the end of the movement phase, fire the Quad Gun as per its Interceptor rules, and as a bonus still shoot his eagle normally on your own turn, lol.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527436/5632691.page GMT
