Combo #1
1 Vetern Sergeant with Combi Bolter-Plasma
2 Troopers with Plasma Guns
7 Troopers with Hellguns/Targeters
Chimera with Multilaser Turret, Heavy Bolter Hull, Extra Armour, Search Light

Combo #2
1 Vetern Sergeant with Power Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Melta Bombs
1 Trooper with Plasma Gun
1 Trooper with Melta Gun
7 Troopers with Hellguns/Targeters
Chimera with Multilaser Turret, Heavy Bolter Hull, Extra Armour, Search Light

Those are the most common combos in my WH army...Combo #1 I usually use to go "tough-character" hunting (stuff like Wraithlords). The combo #2 I use for whatever I need it for...from tank hunting to assualt to shooting.

Shasel_Aunat:

Did you mean 7 Trooper with Hellguns/Targeters?

Interesting to see no "extra armor" listed too. But it looks good

Oops! Thanks Mal! ;D I changed the number of non-specialists from 8 back down to 7...lol...I was never really good in math!

As for extra armour...I rarely find it worth the points on a troop section, especially if all it is hauling is strom troopers...and with all the high powered weaponry on there, I find that crew stunned is a roll that is made alot...usually it is Imoblized or Weapon Destroyed. What kind of Troopers do you use Mal? Since you started the topic, you post up!

OTP (off topic post): Instead of writing or copy/paste my username, just say "Nat" instead...so much easier especially since we post alot in the same area! I just use Mal for you, cause it's easier!

Edit: Witch Hunters Vehicle armoury has no "Track Guards" listing! They can't have it! I think that I played Imperial Guard for so long that I didn't realize it! Can someone verify that?

Nat:

Nope, no track guards. You could just save the points, or go with extra armor to ensure that you can always move should you get a 1 or 2 on that glance chart (I generally find it useful on all vehicles that move and fire weapons).

I'll post my own soon Just wanted to get some life in here before doing it.

The IG does, and as my Inquisitorial stormtroopers use the same Chimera (and same models!) as my IG stormtroopers, most people don't complain. After all, I doubt the IG are going to say no if an Inquisitor comes over and tells them to cough up a Chimera!

...lol ...Yah! That makes total sense!

Mal:
I guess I'm going with the extra armour then! *scrolls up and edits*

My favorite configuration is to take 2 meltaguns and go vehicle hunting, using a chimera for cover/transport and anti-infantry support w/ multi-laser and heavy bolter.

I find plasma gunners always kill themselves. If you have better luck with them, have at.

I like arming my storm troopers with shotguns and giving them a flamer and a grenade launcher. I give my v.sergeant a force weapon and an additional close combat weapon or a plasma pistol. I also give them a chimera armed with a heavy flamer turret and an additional heavy flmaer on its hull as well.

They provide good support to my SoB squads by charging the enemy so that the girls wont be assaulted. It usually works for me and its a really cheap unit point-wise!
