I'm pointing this out to everyone who's seen how powerful they are, especially with the new rules. I'm also interested to see if other armies will start using them now that there are the alliance rules.

Tyranids can't.

Also, this is more appropriate to the Tactics forum, so I'm moving it.

Oh yeah, sorry. That's the only army that can't. Literally every other army in the game can, which does seem a bit strange.

However, taking 3 in a squadron is a massive waste of potential and overkill. They can only target one thing at a time, and the models are enormous. For example, if an IG player took 18, they'd literally cover the table.

While you *CAN* take 3-6 vendettas, doesn't mean you should. Ask an IG player who's taken 9 russes in a single game how well that works for them when they only have a few hundred points for scoring units

Yeah, I did that one time. Even before that I realized nine Leman Russes isn't actually that great. However, if you think it's fun, it can still be worth it.

In that particular battle, Dondrekhan took two Daemon Princes with Lash of Submission as allies.

Actually I can imagine lists that need that many extra flyers to make them more secure, make objective grabbing easier, to shot down other flyers and really like the extra fire power.

However, most the time loads will be overkill and then it is just a crying shame that IG is sometimes needed to add an antiflyer threat to a list.

Other armies won't be able to use them to transport units though.

I love it already.

"Every army CAN have 3-6 vendettas, in case anyone didn't know!"
"3-6 vendettas are pretty due to overkill lack of transporting allies and points"
"yeah...but you can do it!"


-edit- Vendettahammer 4000k? In the grim future, there is only rented out vendetta's dueling it out in the sky's of alien planets?

Squadrons are really vulnerable to psykers. If the squadron gets hit with the TK power Obsucate Mechanuim they each take a haywire hit. Not expecting to see many Valk squadrons once people get used to seing them plumet from the sky in a group.

I've been running one, and it's kind of a pain in the butt. You can usually target something worthwhile coming in, but the next turn it can be tough to get lined up. Most of the games I've been playing I have had to switch to hover mode each time. One they do rock against is other flyers, though, so I will probably take one or two most of the time.
