Strength:
It has 8+ units that can shoot strength 8 shots. Lot of people look at the amount of the shooting, and don't realize that you need a lot of units that can shoot at different targets. Although some of the shooting is strength 8 AP1 is only 24"
Weakness:
Assault. Ahriman is the only model good in assault, and he is just ok. They have nice pictures of the Thousand Son's assault squads and I might do a squad of them since I found a company that sells the resin pre-heresy turbofan backpacks.

That's several shots for a chimera/Vendetta horde to be sure, which I'm sure will be on display at Adepticon.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, have you considered using the new Wolf dex (Or did I miss that in a previous post?). I know everyone always points at people using the latest/greatest dex but it seems like you could build a very heresy like army from that dex.
StormCaller or Rune Priest laden with gear/powers = Ahriman
Secondary Priests to give it a TS feel (Up to 4!)
Vanilla SW Marines = What marines 'should' be about with battle leaders in each to give you assault punch
Cheap Dev squads
You could even risk an all foot with that dex...
A Thousand Sons army play as Space Wolves?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWhat blasphemy!
You want me to represent they very thing we hate most in life?
On a more serious note:
Assault armies are not really my bag. I am a shooter. If I rolled as good as Bill Kim, I would be more prone to assault, but my dice just don't have the stomach for a fight. Not that they shoot great either, but at least this way if I miss, it will not hurt as much as it does in assault. I like a slow bleed rather than ripping the bandaid off.
It would be worth it for the irony! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe main thing I'm interested in is the conversions, looking forward to the army pics :).
