New Games Workshop Models

[Unconscious]

I havent played for a while although the Centurions appear to be down-graded obliterators at lower points costs and without invul saves. They could replace a heavy weapons team which cant move and shoot properly.

Typically they would be used similarly to obliterators which are (or used to be) used in Chaos lists and at about 2 to every rhino.

Wouldnt bother with las cannons, too pricy, just stick to missile launchers.

You could make up for the lack of invulnerability by running them behind Rhinos for a 4+ cover save.

If your list is moving and shooting take them with rhinos, if your defending then standard devastators probably better.

You could make up for the lack of invulnerability by running them behind Rhinos for a 4+ cover save.

It's a 5+ cover save. Unless you agree with your opponent before the game that vehicles give you a 4+ cover safe.

Also the Rhino won't last long at all :p
And you are pumping even more points in to them trying to make them worthwhile.
I still don't see any reason why to field these guys.

I could see them being fielded all with grav-cannons.
That's 260points though for 3 non-scoring models.
It would be a welcome sight for me to see these guys fielded against me tbh :p

I agree with Riku. Even with Grav-cannons they still need to be close to fire and 24" usualy means danger for a unit that can't do anything in melee. They could counter the new monstrous creatures with the Grav things, but a smart opponet will not just go lololol with his big guys. And since they can' take a transport, you have to walk them in range and they will get focussed down. You can't retreat in tabletop .

Also, even if you find cover, there are about 100 things that ignore it (Flamers, Tau, Eldar op serpent shields...)

280 points for 3 guys isnt great. The last time I looked you can get 2 squads of long fangs with 10 missile launchers for 280 points with Space Wolves.

I remember when Space Wolves first came out with their great Codex.
Tony Kopach has won consistently at the top tournaments (Nova best in the world 2011-2012) and others. All with his Space Wolves list. But he takes a unit other people wouldn’t dream of using.
People are like, 245 points one a single guy?
But Tony Loves Njal. Infact he said something in a video like, he only plays the list because of the Storm caller.
