<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Ynnari Reavers"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Ynnari Reavers 40k, and I’m wrapping my head around all kinds of new and interesting unit combinations. I’ve seen in some army lists the Archon + Webway Portal + Wrathguard + D-Scythe comb that seems like an extremely powerful unit, and it got me thinking about other combinations.

I’ve started looking at an Autarch Skyrunner + Reavers + Cluster Caltrops, and was wondering if this type of unit had any viability on the tabletop? The Reavers don’t seem great, but I don’t yet understand this 7th-soon-to-be-8th game quite yet.

If you were compelled to take Reavers + Autarch, how would you build them? Would a Farsear skyrunner be better than an Autarch? Would Skyweavers be better? Worse?

Thanks

The lose of FNP really hurts them though. They rarely outright kill the unit they charge (unless it was a small isolated unit that really wasn't worth their time anyway), so retaliation hits were inevitable. And with Hit & Run, you wanted them locked on your turn anyway so they don't get shot at in the opponent's turn, then you Hit & Run.

With basically no armour save, FNP really helped. Buy SfD replaces that. Stubborn from the Reborn host is nice, but I really feel like Ynnari Reavers are way better as minimum units of 3 zipping around as harassment/ Soulburst fuel.

I've run 6 Reavers w/ 2 Caltrops + Autarch with Lance and Banshhe mask on several occasions pre-Ynnari. It is cheap, hits decently hard and has some good tricks

So it comes down to what gear and relics an autarch can take to tank for their reaver squad. Ideally, kitted out reavers with caltrops should kill most of the squad so he shouldn't have to take too many wounds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720792/9257630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720792/9257630.page GMT Ynnari Reavers CC, but if you're running only a single squad then 9 with 3 caltrops might be better. The Autarch would certainly be very helpful with a Banshee mask to nullify incoming Overwatch and tank any return hits so it at least seems like a decent combo but unless you're running duel Warhost your not likely to be able to have multiple squads like this running around. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720792/9258484.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720792/9258484.page GMT
