I need your general advice for a witchfire/malediction based loadout. I have 25 points to spare, so I can make 1 of them a lvl 2, or give one the tome of vel'cona for guaranteed strength 9 ap1 melta beam and +1 strength on the rest of pyromancy. They'll be coming down in a drop pod with a loaded out command squad, Harath Shen, and a Chapter master loaded with artificer armour, ss, and EW to act as a tank. My defence is solid, I just want it to act like more of a bomb on the turn 1 drop by giving me a 2+ cast on a bunch of cheap witchfires to act as my split fire and knock out a few threats at a time.

What do you all recommend for disciplines? I'm open to dropping Shen to make the libbys level 2 each and flesh out other squads too, giving me 6 + d6 warp charges each turn, casting on 2s. with up to 10 powers available.

Honestly telepathy is probably the next best choice. Get a chance for the game changing invisibility but at the very least the primaris power psychic shriek is a pretty damn scary witchfire in its own right.

Don't know much about the SM powers so maybe somebody else can chime in for that.

E: If you are going to do pyromancy, take the tome. S9 melta beam will still have an easier time penetrating if you're out of melta range (If you want to line up a multi vehicle shot for example.) and your primaris power flamethrower now instakills T3. You could always just switch between the two outside of a tournament to whichever would benefit you most based on your opponent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594391.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594391.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594392.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594392.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594398.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594472.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594497.page GMT
So a unit where you can draw the line over 3 models take 3 hits, not the models individually.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594504.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594521.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687800/8594521.page GMT
