Indeed, three baleflamers, and against armor you have vector strike.

Ha.ha.ha. They aren't quite so cheesy as they are for small apoc games. Along with my titan maniple and primarchs xD.

If its for apocalypse, sure that's fine, maybe even awesome. But for a normal game of 40k, please don't be that guy.

Someone sounds anally anguished.

In all seriousness, go for it. This, and all Nurgle, are your only competitive options when in comes to Chaos space marines. I don't see the problem with doing something that's competitive and there really is, nothing wrong with wanting to win or have a chance at doing so.

Yes, the benefits of having first turn attacks, daemonforge every turn, and pregame vector strike are VERY good.

Wait. Vector strike can be pre game?

No. There's an autocorrect, sarcasm/humor, or a typo at play here (I'm guessing). Then again, Helldrake does as Helldrake wishes.

BTW, 40k Tactics is probably a better place for a post like this if you want to avoid trolling.

After players have deployed but before the first turn begins they can do a pre-game movement of up to 60" that can vector strike with the Heldrake Fear Squadron formation. It count's as a special out-of-sequence Vector Strike, and you cannot Vector strike on your actual first turn if you do so.

I'd equip them with a protective foam bubble, the in-game dangers are minimal, but the other player going rage and trying to smash them is a real threat.

P.S - It's a shame you are being that guy tho. :-P

The hardest part of using Heldrakes is getting them to the battle in one piece.

Because many people who play this game are emotionally still children and think that damaging the property of others is acceptable because they don't like it.


The wings attach at a single point, so it's possible to magnetize them there and break them down for transport. This is what I do for mine, they end up fitting in a much smaller area.
