RaritanAnon Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ironweld is best. Gyrocopters with Brimstone guns are good objective cappers and herohunters at 80pts a piece. Helblasters can do some good damage with the +1 to hit within half range rule, as theyre gonna be moving up with berserkers. Other than that, Fyreslayers are pretty good on their own.

cburns Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've been struggling with this exact question while writing my army list for Adepticon. In my experience the greatest strength of the Fyreslayers is the number of bodies, their resilience and damage output at short range. That being said I've looked for allies that can fill in some their weaknesses (being a lack of long range shooting, cheap units to sit on back field objectives while the rest of the army goes agro to take forward objectives, resilient heroes, and late game maneuverability (after the pop up, yes the +4 move rune helps a lot!)). Here is what I have found that best compliments them: -Celestant Prime (tough hero, huge potential damage output, mortal wound output) -Skywardens (high maneuverability, potential for either high shooting output or CC) -Dwarf Warriors (cheap units to hold back field, chaff/bubble wrap, access to rend, more bodies flood that field!) -Arkanaut Company w/ Sky Hooks (hold back field, long range shooting, -2 rend) -Judicators (back field, long range shooting, and just the fact they are judicators) -Prosecutors (fast, access to quality shooting, harassing unit) Thoughts? In my personal list I've narrowed down my favorites to company, the prime, or judicators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNotebookGM Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Definitely Skywardens. They are everything Fyreslayers are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think a unit of 6 Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows and 3 Aetherwings would be really good to snipe heros and kill monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this: I don’t think 6 fit in 400 points of Allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 @Nico Oh sorry. I mistaked the points of them with the points of the ones with Hurricane Crossbows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they are 180pts for 3, so you could take 6 and have 40 pts of allies to spare. Enough for a gryph hound to protect from teleports and surprise drops.

Nico Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I meant 6 with Aetherwings do not fit (like the earlier post I was responding to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
