I just have to buy alot of venoms. Also because splinter cannons dont have a strenght characterisic can I move 12" and fire both cannons?

Cheers for defensive weapons.

The only real weakness of the army is when you can't utilize the splinter cannons - IE, when you're playing against a fully meched army, and you don't manage to kill anything to make infantry spill out for you to light up.

Yeah, the only drawback of the venom spam list is lack of anti tank, its why you see reliance on trueblaster squads, ravagers, and wyches with haywires. If the venom wasn't so good (and the DL on infantry not so expensive) you might see more raider lists and more razorwings. Kinda interesting dynamic, as most venomspam lists only have 3 platforms that can shoot lance shots more than 18 inches (or 24 once you count movement). Of course with 9 squads potentially having blasters, you have to have a ton of dakka to prevent the coming wave of firepower, massed blasters are just nasty (anti tank weapons in enough volume to count as anti infantry?)

Wow thats 96 shots from 8 venoms after moving 12". Termies and Inquisitor coteaz with all his 15 jokearo will be fearing my DE very soon.
