So, are Flakk Missiles 10 points if you don't want the other 2 missile options, or are they 25 points apiece? (mandatory upgrade to normal missiles to take Flakk missiles) I can't tell the way the rulebook is worded.

**Happyjew**

You cannot buy Flakk missiles without first purchasing the Missile Launcher.

**airmang**

You don't lose the other two types of missiles. Flakk just up the cost of the missile launcher.

**BewareOfTom**

I think its worth it, I compare it to a lascannon

**Crimson**

Yeah, surprisingly you actually need to have a missile launcher to shoot the flakk missiles. You cannot just throw them at the enemy flyers.

Pg 102, army list section; Options:

-Missile launcher
(with frag and krak missiles)........ 15 pts/model
*May also take flakk missile........ 10 pts/model

You purchase the flakk missile in addition to the others, not in lieu of.

Which is better than the original rumours of the havocs replacing the other 2 missile options.

Agreed. Between the Skyfire ammunition and Reapers only costing 10 pts, Havocs jumped to the top of my list for consideration in the Heavy slot. 156 pts for a unit of 7 havocs with 3 TL-autocannons and a skyfire missile launcher. Point for point one of the best fire support choices I've seen, with no cross-targetting issues. Wanna pop a rhino? Shoot a krak missile. Want to kill a flyer? Those reapers are twin-linked, baby, roll up some sixes.

Autocannon. Not reaper. Not twin linked

Yup. 25 points gets you the ML and Flakk. This is an increase of only 5 points from the previous Codex's cost for a Missile Launcher with Frag and Krak.

CSM Havocs currently sit in the middle of the pack for a 5 man squad with 4 missile launchers. It goes up once you add flakk, but no other army's Devastators or equivalents can get Flakk missiles.

**liturgies of blood**

You want missiles and a flakk missile or two.
