I’m a huge Falcon fan, but with IF in the mix they just can’t stand up to Serpents. Massed AP2/3 D2/3 Bolter Fire just shreds them.

Nowadays a unit with just ok stats doesn't interest anyone; it's all about stratagems, synergies and special rules. Or op stats.

Aren't we due an FAQ to Phoenix Rising by now? One of our Psychic powers still doesn't work!

As an honorary Foolproof* Falcon Pilot I have an opinion on this!

PotMS would do the job. Unlock their speed, allow them to deliver small squads to backfield without punishing them, and I think they'd be worth a look again.

*I am a terrible driver. Please do not entrust your Falcon to me.

Add a squadron rule (cause HS is hella crowded) plus a small points reduction and it could work.

I would absolutely love to field a little aspect host thingy, with two or three falcons.
Somehow I thought there would be some cheap offers on the interwebz, after the BotP Box. But I can't find something that fits my needs...

BotP isn't a good place to start for an Aspect host despite Banshees and Jain Zar being present in the box.

If you're still after Falcons, they're going for £13-15 on eBay right now and it's about as cheap as they'll get.

That is dirt cheap
Botp new unit tax at its finest...

If any of you haven't seen it already, BotP is on Goblin Gaming for £98. I know it's not tactics, but this is a nice Christmas present.

the shipping costs are the main problem here.
searching for products from germany on ebay only gets me some used modells...
(I know, that's lamentation on a very high level - it's not that urgent to get them, as I don't play my CWE that often)

Thats £5 more than what we paid for ours... Nooooooooo.... *shakes angry fist at the sky*

At £98 its not the worse deal if you are sharing with a DE player I guess. £49 each is bearable. Ebay prices currently break down at about £20 - Jain zar, £28 - Banshees, £14-15 Falcon and £12 vyper.

Back to tactics, AOK& Asurmen leading eldar foot dar horde sounds like a fun build

I think it's bearable for both sides. I'm seriously considering it at that price but I'm almost 6k in the hole with Eldar so do I need to continue?

Hi all I made a new tactics thread with a more useful OP, considering I had to do a bit of research to find out where all are rules are located I think it was worthwhile
