I think Chaos Rhinos are prime candidates to shock in this edition of the dex, though. They get our more melee capable units closer to the enemy, have autohits when they shock, and the shock can be used to put them in place where their dirge casters disallow overwatch. All of this combines to make it a LOT easier for things like Berzerks or even just properly loaded out CSM to follow up for an instant win.

yeah but who CARES if they kill it? Its just a transport. You weren't using it any more. Might explode on them. Might run them off the board.

so who gives a rip if they died?

Not everyone's transports are 35pt rhinos, many serve vital function as light (or medium) tanks, and/or may be needed again.

I was talking about my 95 pt. Devilfish's. And I repeat: how is attacking the best possible stat to attack in the game (morale) 3 times a round ever goingto qualifyt as anything BUT a brilliant thing to do (barring fearless opponents)? If someone is willing to wrap their unit around your tank and blow themselves up doing it, they didn't fire at anything important and they MIGHT take wounds...and if they fail Im gonna do it again. And they know it. Plus I throw obstacles in their way they now have to overcome.

I'm serious here when I say that as long as my vital units aren't involved, I'll take some risks. The game doesn't last forever. You gotta try and win with everything you got at your disposal.

Kill points is not a bad point but theres really only one mission that it matters in...and i am obviously not advocating this when you're playing that one mission. Hopefully THAT goes without saying. Lol.
