I pair my thunderfure with a squad of scout snipers with telion, therefore my scouts get a 2+ invul!!

Has still happened to me twice. Super frustrating that the whole artillery system puts more wounds on the AV10 gun than the 2+ crew. :(

Well, that must just be the drawback for a 25 point artillery piece (after you subtract the 75pt. Techmarine w/ servo harness) Starting to think about this for the bottom portion of the model though. Tired of how scrawny the GW one looks.

**hehe FAIL!**

to make sure ur TFC doesn't get smashed on ur 1st turn, bring in something more threating like a vindicator and some lr's

**Son 0f Dorn**

I do, but it's a much softer target than those and even MEQ is threatened by those S6 blasts.

**hehe FAIL!**

ok then bring in something more threating but less. you understand? like something not as big as a lr but a couple of preds and rhinos and land speeders.

**Son 0f Dorn**

They take the same heavy support slots is the problem. But at the end of the day, it is what it is and I'm still gonna field it even if I get screwed out of it once and a while.

Make sure to try and take advantage of the 60" range. Sometimes you are able to just keep out of range of your opponents big guns with it!

**Son 0f Dorn**

Heck ya. I try to deploy 2nd because of it, but that leaves the TF vulnerable as well. Worth it if you can keep away from long fangs that way though.

**pdawg517**

Very worth it! Nothing like dropping a long fang squad on turn 1!

**loota boy**

Give it 11/11/11 and let you take up to five more servitors for like 6 points each or something. Fixed!

**Son 0f Dorn**

For only 100 points, I think the AV11 would do fine. I've only lost the Techmarine once. Took the cannon to two local tournaments this weekend and totally destroyed with it

With stealth they would ave a 2+ COVER save.

Av 11 for arty might be a fix in 6th edition, we will just have to wait and see.
