The idea of this post came when people where comparing the posthumans with other units. BUT: i want this to be a light, fun post. It's not about complains or whatever, it's more a game: take any Asura's profile, and say what you would rather take for the (about) same points and SWC, and filling the same role (if it can do other roles as well, it's fine, provided it can fill the same role). Don't forget Lt if you take an Asura Lt. Yes, the poor Asura will probably cry a lot :'( An example: Asura Spitfire, 70 pts, 2 SWC Role: midfield MSV fighter The obvious equivalent: 2 deva spitfire: 62 pts, 2 SWC Same weapon, comparable MSV, trade BS for 2 distinct NWI models Another example: Asura Spitfire, 70 pts, 2 SWC Equivalent: Odalisk spitfire Odalisk haris Odalisk combi (i can't use army right now, but should be roughly the same cost - damn i love these girls) Up to you :)
I assume a smoke provider will be available for all combos/Asura. 2x Deva + Devabot (27x2) and Deva Spitfire (31) for 11 points more, 5 bodies on the table two of them sacrificial flamethrowers. Hac Tao, Anathematic, or Charontid (roughly "cousin" profiles) Achilles 3x Paramedic Dakinis and 1 HMG Dakini Danavas + Sniper Dakini + Spitfire Deva, let's go hunting! Xeodron + Bit & Kiss Umbra H+ and Kerr Nau Unidron Fireteam: 2x Missile Launcher, 2x FO, 1 normal (tots 83 pts, 3 SWC) Interventor + Gecko 2x Interventor +[ Zero (deployable repeater) OR Tomcat (deployable repeater)] So many options -.-U
What I can take : Asura Spitfire, 70 pts, 2 SWC What I would like : Aquila guard HMG (better weapon, better BS, lower Armor, no NWI) + a fugazi/lamedh What I end up taking : Achilles
There are other Asura's loadouts you know ^^ Asura Lt HD+: (ok there are not that many HD+) Danava HD+ Machaon or: Danava HD+ Deva Lt Scylla KHD +1 charybdis (should account for upgrade Redrum)
