<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Which kit should I build?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Which kit should I build? FLGS for apocalypse and I'm having difficultly figuring out which kit to build.

A little background: I've already built a Shadowsword kit and left it in a way that it can build most of the other variants minus the Stormlord and if someone's a stickler on it the other two transport capacity ones as I didn't build them with the platform at the back. This second kit I can't decide to make it as the Baneblade variants or another Shadowsword variants? If there is a way to magnetise the treads and top plates easily (not very good with the magnestising as of yet) that could work to? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888163.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888163.page GMT Which kit should I build?
Shadow is King for me but who are you fighting?
More info pls.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888219.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888219.page GMT Re:Which kit should I build?

So yeah, it really depends what you want. If you ever get there, Steel Fury is a horrible formation - even 3 means you are at +4 on the damage table (+3 for combined, +1 for AP2) which is disgusting in itself but as it's a tank formation, you can give it preferred enemy too. That means that against tanks you're close to Str D (lower chance to pen but much better at hitting due to 10" blast) and against infantry you're almost always hitting on 2, rerolling 1's. 9 HP is a tough cookie too, almost Titan tough but significantly cheaper. If you don't do that though, Shadowsword is the best AT option by far. What sort of weaknesses do you think you will have? The variants can patch them. I'd vote for Stormlord though, it's my fav model of all of them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888348.page GMT Re:Which kit should I build? both. The entire model-defining assembly in the center slides in and out of the tread housings rather easily. No magnetization necessary, the assemblies glue to themselves neatly. (the gun barrels are also magnetized, I figured I might want a hellhammer or stormsword some time.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5888471.page GMT Re:Which kit should I build? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5889022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5889022.page GMT Re:Which kit should I build?

Thanks I'll try and aim to do this then as it seems like its best of both worlds, thanks to everyone else as well for the suggestions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5890359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542464/5890359.page GMT
