Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Space Marines: Assault Intercessors

Product Information

Of course, flamers also serve as popular auxiliary attachments for combi-weapons, and they get a boost to their range too. Any unit that can field multiple combi-flamers will soon be able to make their fiery presence felt from a greater distance, even if they teleported or otherwise appeared directly into the fray. What’s more, it also conveniently matches the boltgun’s half-range for some additional rapid-fire death! Sternguard Veteran Squad • Vanguard Veteran Squad • Terminator Squad ( Terminator Assault Squad) • Bladeguard Veteran • Veteran Intercessor Squad • Company Veterans Angel of Death –Use this at the end of the Firefight phase. One friendly model can perform a Fight action. This is great if you like to tie up enemy models with a multicharge, especially if they’re weedy standard human types. This is especially useful for your standard intercessors, hypothetically you could shoot two enemy operatives, end your activation with a charge, and then fight at the end of the firefight phase. This makes multicharging enemies even more viable, charging an already activated enemy to tie them up in melee and prevent your opponent shooting you for the rest of the turn and then punching that enemy to free you up for the next turn a great little plan, and let’s you have another Fight to try and clear an objective before scoring. This ploy is something to think about when planning your actions for the turn. Gives you +1 critical damage compared to Intercessor Fists. It’s a cheap upgrade given you are likely to end up with an EP left over after buying Auspex/bolt weapon upgrades. A Frag Grenade [2EP] When compared to the Indomitus box, the push-fit ones almost look more dynamic. Interesting… Completed Minis

A strong core of reliable and adaptable warriors that can lay down fire while advancing or holding terrain is an invaluable aid to any tactician. In the case of strike forces bolstered by Primaris battle-brothers, this role is filled by the Intercessor Squads. Well does Roboute Guilliman recall the success of single-armament Space Marine Legion squads from the era of the Great Crusade -- the combination of the focused firepower of the Intercessor Squads and the adaptability of the Tactical Squads has proven all but unstoppable. When the Adeptus Astartes fight, they employ a set of combat doctrines to eliminate the enemy. After pounding the foe with heavy weapons, warriors advance to lay down a hail of bolter fire before charging forth with chainswords roaring to finish the foe.If every unit from your army has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which Combat Doctrine is active for your army. During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army. From the second battle round onwards, at the start of the battle round, you can change which Combat Doctrine is active for your army, as follows: TheArmorOfContempt: Who cares about balance? While the operatives on my roster wouldn’t differ much from ThunderCloud’s, I am of the opinion that shooting and survival are the way to go for Space Marines. I would take Hardy and Accurate as my tactics along with the following as my primary team: Dreadnought ( Castraferrum Dreadnought • Siege Dreadnought • Hellfire Dreadnought • Ironclad Dreadnought • Venerable Dreadnought • Mortis Dreadnought • Chaplain Dreadnought • Librarian Dreadnought • Furioso Dreadnought • Death Company Dreadnought • Redemptor Dreadnought ( Brutalis Dreadnought • Ballistus Dreadnought) • Wulfen Dreadnought • Doomglaive Dreadnought) • Nemesis Dreadknight • Invictor Tactical Warsuit

Despite its modernised design and Cawl’s eccentric ideas about technological development, the new armour cleaved closely to its forebears. Solid plates and smooth lines took influence from many prior marks of power armour, with the helmet especially showing signs of the revered Mk IV Maximus armour that many considered the finest of its kind. Intercessors sadly have no way to perform quest actions for free so gates can be a nuisance but with the new maps they are still able to move all over the place. My advice is that on the first turn you should open as many gates as necessary to ease the advance. Afterward with their high wound counts your team will be able to take a lot of damage before losing models. As always, it is still recommended that you play cautiously on the first turn, taking as many victory points as possible but not risking models to unleash hell on turn 2 and onwards. What to Take? Right or wrong, the way many people like to measure the value of Games Workshop box sets by comparing the price of whats in the box versus the price of buying everything individually. Let’s break down what is in this boxed set and do the comparison. Flamers are ubiquitous weapons for many factions due to their simple construction and ease of use – after all, you literally can’t miss! With an increase to the maximum range, flamer-wielding units that can reach the heart of the battle, or arrive from Strategic Reserves, will have the ability to torch their enemies on the same turn they appear! To manifest the psychic power, you must first pass a Psychic test. The opposing player can then select one of their PSYKER units that is within 24" of the PSYKER unit attempting to manifest the power and attempt to deny that power before its effects are resolved by passing a Deny the Witch test.

Meanwhile the Terminator Squad comes absolutely armed to the teeth with extreme firepower, can teleport once per battle with their teleportation homing beacon, and can add 1 to the hit rolls of your Oath of Moment targets. Crisp, clean, and classic! Warhammer 40K Fall 2023 Space Marines - Building New Models Command Squad • Reclusiam Command Squad • Captain • Primaris Captain • Lieutenant • Primaris Lieutenant • Company Ancient • Company Champion Each member of an Intercessor Squad carries some variant of a Bolt Rifle, the standard Mark II Cawl Pattern version of which has a longer range and greater armour penetration than the older pattern bolter. Additionally, each Intercessor also bears a Bolt Pistol and Frag and Krak Grenades. Durability – With a 3+ save and 14 wounds apiece (and 15 on your leader), Intercession Squads offer a fair amount of durability for a 6-model team. They’re one of the toughest units in the game.

Wrath of Vengeance – When a friendly operative is Incapacitated, you can perform a Shoot action before removing it from the board (though treat it as injured). Good for a final “I’m taking you with me!”, keep in mind you won’t be able to use this if you’re incapacitated while in Engagement Range. This is basically the replacement for Only in Death. You can decide to have a quieter turn 2, but normally the game will not allow it (i.e. you’ll put yourself in a hole you can’t dig out of), and if you only place 1-2 operatives in engage the enemy will most likely be able to finish them off with focused fire. However if you have 3-4 in engage it will become much more complicated for your opponent to accomplish that. Thanks to the potent energy field running the length of their blades, power weapons are especially effective at cutting down armoured opponents. Yet they do more than shear through armour – they carve through muscle and bone with equal impunity! As such, power swords, power axes, and power mauls are receiving a Strength bonus to emphasise this devastating effect. Aggressor Squad • Desolation Squad • Devastator Squad • Hellblaster Squad • Eradicator Squad • Eliminator Squad • Infernus Squad • Centurion Devastator Squad Neil: It also came up against how we’d give people the option to go further with it if they wanted to, like adding all of the extra gubbins and relics, but not have the miniature look plain without them. They need to be very versatile, so in the case of the Terminators, we let the big, hulking armour do the talking. It’s the pinnacle of personal armour in the Imperium, and it finally looks like it – which means hobbyists can leave them relatively unadorned, or absolutely cake them in accessories, and either approach will work.
