Naturally i thought it would e a good idea at first, but they have a high point cost and i'm wondering if it's just like a cheap unit that just pisses people off.

For Tau.. Hammerheads are fun, and a tremendous fire magnet. I always take mine assuming they will die turn 2..

However, I would NEVER buy a Hammerhead tank... I would buy a SkyRay... those tanks come with a Hammerhead turret sprue in there, and makes a lovely interechangeable vehicle..

what if i told you i found one for $30 on ebay?

**porkuslime**

40% off retail is not bad.. you could probably do as well in the swap shop or Bartertown..

What does shipping cost on that 30$ priced model? (and.. is it already assembled or in box?)

Boxed my friend, and that's the but it now price. I'm gonna try to bid on it for 23.51, but thanks for the sky ray tip! I'll remember that next time i buy a heavy support unit.
