TOP 5 Legion Fast Attack choices - The Horus Heresy 

Toss-up between Seekers and Land Speeders. Seekers present a few options that can be really fun and effective to use on the table, and their BS5 with Precision Shots and Marked for Death are their least interesting attributes on this front. Their ability to Infiltrate is paired with the hilarious ability to take a Land Raider as a dedicated transport (in a Fast Attack slot no less), which on its own is worth it in some legions, and in spite of having a much shorter range than Nemesis Bolters the Kraken Bolter's Scorpius Bolts are just flat-out better as a sniping weapon. Well worth taking stock with the land raider in my opinion. To add to the fun, Seekers can also be taken as non-compulsory Troops via the Recon Company Rite of War. Proteus Land Speeders are hands-down some of the best harassment units in the game, bar none, and are something of a sleeper hit as an AT option. Forget the multi-melta - taking two grav guns and a couple of hunter-killer missiles each, a squadron of two is quite capable of making its points back twice over by taking down a Spartan or similar-sized heavy vehicle in a single volley. Outside of that, the Javelin does well as a long-range fire support platform that can move around (I really wouldn't bother with slapping a multi-melta on it if I could instead keep it at lascannon/culverin range), the Xiphon helps fill that AA niche at least, and Sabres... Sabres require a degree of finesse to use. They're fast alright, but for the amount of points you're spending on them they're trying to compete with Proteus Land Speeders and Javelins for the same role. As such, my ranking is roughly as follows: 1/2: Seeker Squad/Land Speeder Proteus 3: Land Speeder Javelin 4: Xiphon Interceptor 5: Sabre Strike Tank

I haven't played any yet with my Iron Warriors but i'm leaning towards the Jet Bikes for rule of cool. Just pulling up on a Dreadnought with the boys and some meltas sounds like a good ole time!

Only got Seekers myself, but they've been solid so far and only missed out on a Warlord precision kill by an inch in my last game. Keen to fill out my FA options as my IW are a bit ponderous in deployment and movement, looking at some bikes, speeders and perhaps upgrading my Seekers's ride into a raider for some extra outflanking punch and mobile cover.

Love to hear it dude

😂

🤣

For these generic ones I think mostly we try to leave out ROW or legion stuff since it can really change the landscape

Ty kind sir!

The 1w for the outriders just makes them waaaay too frail. Have had mine get downed by tacs before and I've stopped using them till I figure out how to better use them... Expensive and weapons aren't that good. Outflanking also kinda ass and easy to counter. Sky hunters though. Deep strike and plasma pies with 2 wounds. Hoho, now we talking.

Ive been thinking of trying them again, I think part of my problem is that I have a lot of ML ones which are just bad now (IMO). THe ML ones used to be my faves but now not being able to take out dreads really hurts them.

@@meatlaser we play dreads with a 3+, so that definitely changes things. But there are other targets, mainly HSS and veterans. Also just getting rid of tac squads with an apothecary can be worth it!

😢😢

I think part of the reason I have not had that problem is I have a deep strike assault normally arrive at the same time. The last thing they are worryed about is the Flyer. Maybe try throwing in some other units arriving from reserve ?

That is a great idea (Jason)
