Duke Sliscus idea?

How about running the Duke in a venom (with extra Splinter cannon) with 4 truborne 2 shard carbines and 2 splinter cannons.
thats alot of poison rain all hitting on 3's and from the passengers wounding on 3's aswell.

Just a thought...

I think that we've all had that thought a time or two...it works decently. I prefer to run him with 9 Kabalites in a Raider. The range is shorter for the rapid fire, but you get a scoring unit out of the deal. For that setup I would actually use a Dissie on the Raider.

if you're tight on points, sure.

I like running duke with nine trueborn, two with cannons and seven with carbines. a little on the expensive side, but they turned the opponents' IC into goo.

I'm with you on that. The amount of 3+ poison shots from this unit is just so awesome. I converted a special unit just like this for my Duke's squad.

Double agree. This unit has earned a shoot me now sticker from most of my local opposition, which is fine by me. It means they aren't shooting at the scoring units and dark lances......

How about a giant unit of 20 Warriors w/ 2x Splinter Canons and a Haemonculi

I wonder if anyone else noticed but nearly every idea voiced here has been covered in Sky Serpent's Sliscus Tactica which happened to be posted 2 hours after this thread was started. Connected or just coincidence?

this is the only way I run Duke. Its cheap and effective for its points value. Running a full 9 man trueborn unit just costs too much for an AV10 open topped vehicle. One missle into it and watch your 300 pt unit topple out onto itself.
