<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "What are pink horrors good for?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net What are pink horrors good for? 40k (running an all Tzeentch DoC), so I was hoping that you guys could apply some experience to my take on pink horrors.

I figure that it's better to cast Change spells with other units (higher BS, everyone has flickering fire), but most things have better spells to roll for.
So take a herald, give him a Change mind bullet (going for the low AP stuff, depending on what I'm facing) and use the horrors as a meat shield for him and to roll on malefic. This means that the low BS horrors get a shot at producing heralds (for shooting of whatever powers the situation calls for) or pushing a cursed earth bubble out of whatever they're hiding in.

Will this approach work and/or what are the better ideas?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255814.page GMT What are pink horrors good for? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255838.page GMT What are pink horrors good for? LoS terrain. Move them out in movement phase, shoot mind bullets in psychic phase, then run them back behind cover in shooting phase...

Also good for summoning Daemoms that summon daemons that summon daemons that summon daemons.... Etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255853.page GMT What are pink horrors good for?
They're also a decent choice for camping objectives - they get a re-roll for their saves, so they're moderately tougher than other Daemon troops (with the exception of Plaguebearers).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8255945.page GMT Re:What are pink horrors good for?
They provide a cheap source of warp charges
Act as warp charge batteries for your more offensive units
Surprisingly resilient in ruins as they can go to ground for a 3+ cover save, re rolling 1s
Count towards your mandatory troop choices at the same time and gain obsec
Can summon other units through malefic powers, suffering perils isn't usually a big deal as you may only lose 1 horror
Screamers are a good summoning choice from backfield horrors as they can turbo boost straight away to get into the action and claim objectives etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256043.page GMT Re:What are pink horrors good for?
Pink Horrors on the otherhand, so awesome! I just want to reinforce what everyone here is saying, they rock cause of warp charges and summoning! Go summon and see all you can do with all those warp charges! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256256.page GMT What are pink horrors good for? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256268.page GMT What are pink horrors good for? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8256282.page GMT What are pink horrors good for?

Other than spending spare points to get some extra wounds (so losing 1 horror does not cost a warp charge), more horrors is not the best thing for more warp charges.
It costs 99 points to get the horror unit and 45 points to get to the next warp charge. Rather take the 45 points and get a herald which needs only 25 points for the next warp charge (or add to your greater daemon or prince).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8257571.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8257571.page GMT What are pink horrors good for?

I agree with the other guys, run 2 squads of 11. I often then add an ML3 herald to one or both units; so you can potentially have 10WC for less than 400pts.

What you could do then is give one of the heralds the portalglyph, deploy it asap and use it to bring in the rest of your horrors in small squads, further boosting your WC. Even if the portalglyph just spawns a 1 horror unit it still provides an extra WC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8257786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670293/8257786.page GMT Re:What are pink horrors good for? used to be a great source of dakka.
