Oooh
I have at least 30 ranger weapons. He wants 40 ranger weapons
But like
These Hoplites are already painted. I've seen half of them and they were already beautifully painted, so I'm assuming he painted the others the same
But those 20 Hoplites will increase my Hoplites to 30
Which is a massive bully force lol
Orks, Tyranids, and GSC beware.
@Gunslinger I told him I'd take the deal
So next week I'll have a bunch of Hoplites for almost nothing cost wise
Veddy nice
They're nasty
9pts for 4+ invul and S6 -1AP
They'd be perfect candidates for Strogg Berzerkers
The Q4 ones literally had a lightning weapon they could shoot/melee you with
Yeah I was planning on getting one of those Termite Assault Drills (the 60 buck 3rd party 3D printed copies) and loading 10 of them up into it with an Enginseer and letting them loose
And the Secutarii Hoplites do have that
It's their spear
12inch range attack and then it's also a melee attack
It functions decently in both situations as far as I've been told
Yeah I'm looking at their datasheet
Yeet
They're actually scary as fuck for hunting Dreadnoughts
Max squad size is 20 IIRC
So I'm gonna have a squad of 10 and a squad of 20
Yeah I plan on using them to bully characters/HVTs or being an anti-bully bully force
Problem is their spears are only D3 damage against vehicles but you could still bury characters in attacks
Dreads/kans/etc they get D3 damage each and laugh off the klaws/fists because they've got a 4+ Invul and only 1 Wound each
Max size is 20 yeah
9ppm is CRAZY
No Forge World perks but who tf cares
I *should* be able to follow them around with this Tech Priest Manipulus and buff the shit out of them
That might work
Sadly no
His buffs target [FORGE WORLD] keyword units
That's kinda ass-backwards then though coz IIRC all of our units have the <Forge World> tag except for Hoplites and Peltasts then
I don't have a CA2018 codex to check but in my 2017 AdMech codex it says all of our units have the <Forge World> tag it seems
Well minus Belisarius Cawl
@Gunslinger that makes me curious, why do our actual FW units not have the <Forge World> keyword tag?
Makes me of the intrigued. Secutarii are the "Titan Guard" and operate more with Questoris Knights and Titan Legions, but Legios and Houses pledge themselves to FWs and/or greater organizations
So it confuses me that they aren't allowed to follow the tag of the Forge World like other AdMech units
I think because they're titan guard
