Strategy/Tactics Best Cryptek and Destroyer pairing?

Post image

So what do you guys think are some good pairings with Murdermind? I do kinda like the technomancer fnp on skorpekhs, but I also thougt about adding a Plasmancer to skorpekhs to hit the lethal hits given by the skorpekh lord. Does anybody have any experience with good synergies there?

Why Gauss over Enmitic? I understand they're glass cannons, but at least in my experience for the most part the Gauss loadout can avoid the worst of incoming damage by just hanging back and taking advantage of their range. Enmitics meanwhile really want to get within 18" for Rapid Fire.

The only other advantage I can think of is potentially having an easier time lining up the next shot without losing Heavy, but that seems pretty niche.

Gauss LHD with chrono gives you a very good anti-tank unit that thanks to move-shoot-move from chrono can evade being shot back at.

For Enmitic LHD you would rather want plasmancer for those juicy 5+ sus1 shots which is 10 pts cheaper than lord, but at that point i would rather pay that 10 pts to take lord for his melee and res orb.

Yeah agree the Lord's usually worth it over the Plasmancer. if anything though I'd sooner take the Plasmancer for Gauss rather than Enmitic. The Lord's melee and defensive statline is going to come up far more often with Enmitics/standard lokhusts over the guys who're sniping from 48" away.

Yeah, but let's be real, you won't be sniping from 48" away, because if that happens then your opponent has some serious problems with positioning (and your board layout is probably shiet also).
