Yeah I don't have my rules in front of me so I was going by memory. There is also a result on the damage table which permanently reduces the armor value of the building. So again, the name "fortress" might be misleading. For 260 points, I personally would rather have a land raider.

Given that you get 4 AV14 buildings, a really cool missile launcher, and a 96" TL lascannon I would say its a steal.


And you can model the building how you want to. You don't have to use the stock model. I'm going to be building my own Fortress(slightly more reasonable dimensions, the giant tower with the Angel on it doesn't belong on a building of that size)

But it is twin linked on the fortress' Weapons tab

Oops, just caught that in the book, my bad. I'd still have Tellion on the Fort though, it's only got 1 shot even if it's TL. The alternative is firing at BS 2(not a great idea if it's only got 1 shot in the profile) or use another model to fire it. I wouldn't recommend that either, since Tac Marines belong on objectives, other Scouts have a less-than-ideal BS 3, or an HQ or Terminators whom have no place on forts. This is strictly talking about C:SM though, other armies might have better options.
