Hello Hive,
back in 8th I wanted to play a full Carnifex fun list on 2000 Points, but i never had the time and the models for that list, so i planned to do it one day...
And now 9th is on with that whole crusade thing. And thats just what i needed to start over with this whole Carnifex Army idea. I only have to build and paint a hand full of models to get ready with those 50PL and start growing from that point on slowly till I hit that 2000Point army goal.
I know I'm not gonna win much with a full Carnifex build, they are just to weak, can't do many actions, don't have Obsec, get blown off the table really quick, specially with all those new improved multi damage weapons that almost everyone got (except of tyranids (and orks)) BUT this whole crusade thing is just about fun, so who cares.
What are your thoughts on the whole build up? What type of Carnifexes and what loadout should I start with? what is needed the most to have a well balanced army that can actually do some work? I will magentize most of the models so I can easily exchange arms and heads so almost every combination is possible. Also it's PL so toxin sacs, adrenals and sporecysts are always included if usable for that kind of carnifex.
This thread is not about a complete army list, it's more about gathering opinions and ideas to get a weak list like a full carnifex build working, including wargear, upgrades and some tactics and ideas to maybe outplay the oponent.
Keep in mind that a Carnifex build won't fit into a patrol detachment, so i can't play those little patrol missions with 25 PL, cause only patrol detachments are allowed to do so. I have to start with a spearhead, so also 0 CP to start with :/ So i have to play around 50PL and more every game.
I know the best way would be to wait for our codex, cause I'm sure that we will get some good options for full carnifex builds for crusade and we really need that weapon buff that all the other armys got to keep up with them (thinking about 2dmg deathspitters for example) but i want to start it now. Also my local store is starting some kind of crusade league for fun soon.
Thanks in advance for any advise
