what is his initiative though?

because lots of I 4 force weapons exist, and while its not ID ing him, it still causes D3 wounds, so GK and marines and such can do a fair amount of damage, same with knights, a 375 knight will get 4 attacks + stomps, also causing lots of wounds with the possibility to kill being pretty high.


do ctan have a D weapon in close combat?


also, do they have any real AA capabilities?

Melee is not their stronger side, no.

They USED to be OP beyond belief. now they are merely strong. the D change matter alot on them, as part of the reason they were OP is the D spam they are capable of,

hmmm, are they even 40k approved? I though you needed that to be a LOWar in normal 40k too.

Yeah, in standard games using the Escalation rules, the T C'tan is by far the scariest LoW. My girlfriend didn't think he was a big deal, and I fielded him against her, and over the course of the game, she did 1 wound to it, and got most of her stuff annihilated. He is pretty crazy.

He's not that bad actually. with the D nerf he has a hard time getting his points back actually, as his D attacks are big, but not many, and not great range.

The warhound and revenant are the scariest in FW and escalation respectively, and the worst two offenders in the LoW list of "that's too much" out there overall, the C'tan is only third place. at least was, not sure he is any more.

The best weapons he has aren't str D , in my opinion. If anything, the D nerf is a boon to the guy as they are one of his biggest weaknesses.

Yes, but they were also his biggest strenghts. putting out double hellfire sized D templates in addition to D mlti-vector-strike made him kill a hell lot more then anything else.

Nowdays D still hurt him bad. he does not have many wounds, its just hard to wound it. and D puts alot of wounds on him anyway, where nearly nothing else can. (distort guns are really good at killing him too though. if you manage to get a wratih squad to his face, the'll eat him alive. wraithknight does not even need to get that close to hurt it bad.)
