hello again! seeing as how yesterdays GK dex comparison attracted almouts double the normal pageviews (20!) i am now doing the next segment...unit comparisons.. now i will also comapre the knightlyy part ( the =][= part with associated rant will be later)
so let us begin
Wargear
5th ed nemisis weapons are a odd bunch
pros:
they are all power weapons
they are all force weapons (which all roll individuially)
thney provide either +2I, x2 strencgth, a 2++ IV IN CC, +1 IV IN CC (not normaly)
work with hammerhand/libby powers
Cons:
very confusing, resolveing 20 force weapons at once is tricky!
odd abilitys: aka WTF swords and why does the stave only work in CC?!
have to be 'activated' if you are running 10 purifiers that is a LOT of psy tests!
3rd ed nemisis weapons
pros: simple,
athsetics can be changed
become more powerful the more powerful the unit (aka gk are just S6 but a justicars is a S6 power weapon)
awsome in CC S6 loves me!
works with the stormbolter as a pistol henceforth +1A
 |
| +2S or +1++ in CC? |
so onto the actual units (only 6 we can compare)
1) grey knights ( 5 man unit 1 incinerator, halbards 1 sword standar GK metals)
5th ed ] 3rd ed
points 135 [ 160
attacks on the charge 11 ] 11
attacks not on the charge 6 [ 10
number of PW's 4 ] 1
initiative 6,6,6,4,4 ] 4,4,4,4,4
Strenght 4 [ 6
upgrades force weapon [ bionics artifacer armour personal teleportes: the
options (see above) ] works!
as you can see whilst costing slightly more the 3rd ed knigts were superior in all but anti-MEQ (fewer power weapons) but could take down even daemon princes with the S6 weapons! oh and 5th ed can DS
 |
| proper psycannons! |
2) Gk interceptor/teleport attack squads
teleport attack (3rd ed) could become fast slots and were allowed to deep strike
interceptors could Deep strike and make a 30' shunt once per game: sadly they arent troops so the usefulness of this is merely as a flank attack. however both os these squads are at almost equal points so its really a choice of power weapons or strength!
 |
| 0_0 WTF |
next time: termies and heroes! (arfter that =][='s );
hope this was an intresting read,
-fuzz!
p.s. i would like to beat each months hits record so we need over 10 views a day for the rest of april! come on! we can do it!
