nice model and good rules in my opinion...The ferromantic invulnerability makes it almost indestructible but it has a firepower output similar to other LRs (TF cannon is good but not too much useful against meqs) without transport capacity and a terrific point cost.

Anyway, the trend now is to consider IA stuff official or something similar... at adepticon you can use FW stuff and every torunament I played in they allowed my count as Lias Issodon from IA 9.

I agree it's a good model, but the rules are too OP. I'd refuse to play it unless it was a friend or ust get it stuck in CC with a TH for 6 turns.

meh. A sternguard squad with AP3 boltguns, 2 MM's and a TFC in an invincible LR really hurts.

Mattieu~~~~ It's not that eldar are bad, it's that they require a lot of intergration between units. Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

I've used this tank in both regular and Apocalypse games, in apocalypse it got sucked into a vortex, along with the land raider crusader parked next to it. In regular 40K my opponents tend to find other ways to deal with it, like melta bombs. With the current rules i think it's fine, we'll see if forge world adjusted the rules to stop everyone complaining about it tomorrow when the book comes out

Looking closely at the wording chainfists, MC's and a lucky Assault cannon Rend are the only real shots at blowing it up....

It has a weakness.

It's called the "Paris" tank-hunter. One shot, hits on 2+, S: D (auto-penetrates) and explodes the Achilles on a 2+.

GW have got even more slack with consistency of naming. It's bad enough with the FW Medusa and Gorgon (Medusa WAS a gorgon, one of three sisters and the only one with snake hair) not even being in the same vehicle class.

Naming a SM tank "Achilles" and forgetting to install a 'heel' for it? It should have just been called the "Silence! Ah Keel you!" tank.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I got two words for the achilles:

Monstrous Creatures.

Or

Daemon weapon.

Let's not forget that you don't have to blow up the tank or wreck it. Simple glances will stop it from moving (which gives autohit) or shooting (which takes away the dangerous weapon). I play with daemons and nids...and I always wind up facing marines. I've been through enough battles to know that a couple glances are more than enough to make a tank worthless.

AND for those complaining about taking one off the damage chart...we already have an answer for that...which is AP 1...add one to the damage chart! You just nullified that advantage!
