As the question says? i do like to win but fun is what i am aiming for. Also quick question about the deathstrikes blast is it D3+3inch radious or diamter? Thank is advance.

Manticore, hands down.

Reasons?

The Deathstrike is purely a fun unit. It is too unpredictable.

Oh ok, can anyone aswer my other question?

It's Radius... i think...
If i remember my math right that means you have to double the measurement to get the full kaboom circle...

Oh if it is radious and i get 6inchs thats a 12inch blast the huge one for de big games! that would wreck somes guard or any type or parking lot! :O

Manticore if you want to win

Deathstrike if you are having fun

Manticore is just way more reliable than the DS in normal games

Yeah.
That's why you should take 3...
That said i don't particularly need to win games. As long as a lot of things die i'm good.
So yeah. Take 3 and don't look back.

radius.

Only take the deathstrike if you're going to take 3. If you want something else in your HS slots, the manticore will probably do you better.

With 3 deathstrikes, though, the odds of you getting one off turn 1 are 50-50, and when your opponent's DZ is as cluttered as it's invariably going to be...

The real problem, though, is if your opponent decides to go all-off, and you have to shoot a missile at empty space (or do you?)

Radius, so, at minimum, a blast circle of at minimum 4 inches, at most, 6.

For game play, the Manticore hands down. But, the deathstrike has always looked like a load of fun to play with. I think against horde armies, the deathstrike is a useable option (the manticore more so).

Thanks for all the replyies i think it is going to be the manitcore ,sadly the deathstrike isnt going to kill to standard i need, and is sorter a one trick pony!

If you want to win take the Manticore.
If you want to explode things take the Deathstrike and have a laugh...

Manticore. Up to 12 pie plates per manticore a game is funny. Especially when fired directly

At 2000p would 2manticores or 2deathstrikes be better?

2 Manticores, given those two choices. I run one, and use other things in my HS.
