VC player here, obvious from the subject line I hope, currently toying with running two terrorgheists in a 2k list but I am apprehensive about dropping my Black Coach to be able to do this. I am in love with the death shreik of the terrorgheist and even though the infested upgrade (3d6 str 2 hits to units in close combat) is a weak death explosion the shear number of dice that can be rolled will wound something. I just don't know if it is worth it to drop my super coach for another gheist, therefore I come to the combined wisdom of the forums to hear any suggestions or horror stories from other VC players that have dealt with this problem.

Totally worth it. I don't play VC, but the Black Coach is a little lame IMO. It doesn't really have much hitting power for it's cost and doesn't even eat your opponents PD anymore.

The Terrorgheist gives me nightmares though. The bloody shriek is stupidly powerful and you can't even shut it up by charging it.

2 Terrorghiests is certaintly better then 1. 1 will get shot down by cannons, 2 will survive to combat.

Although, the Black Coach is certaintly something you are giving up to have that 2nd Terrorghiest.


I believe the general rule is that when a single thing's performance is X. 2 things will have a performance of X^2. 3 things will have a performance of X^3

The question is, "Is a Black Coach worth Terrorghiest^2?"

Thats a judgement call you will have to make. Which does more for your army? your single Terrorghiest or your single Black Coach? If the Terrorghiest does more then you definitly want to drop the Coach for the Ghiest.

From my limited exp with the new book whether the tg does more actually is moot. More folks are scared of the tg and it can split their fire away from things like your gg or softer targets because of the shrieks reputation.
