Difference between chaos and imperium Fellblade?

Is there any fluff about Thousand Sons vehicles? Are they bound to armour but still driving? Are they bound to the vehicles? I can't say I have ever seen anything about it.

I don't think there's much official fluff, but I would imagine that the drivers of the vehicles were turned to dust as well, so in effect the drivers would be mentally controlled like the Rubrics are. Before they fell, the Thousand Sons didn't like to field a lot of vehicles to begin with, but they did use a lot of psychically controlled robots as their heavy support. There's even a story of a Warlord Titan being controlled psychically by a Thousand Sons Sorcerer.

Right, but even so, it's not impossible to bring such units in lower point games if one *really* wants, and doesnt excuse the gigantic gap in capabilities either on a fluff or point for point basis.

I would say give it a whirl - you might have a something of a tough time getting them in...

regardless, the bigger point is why are these SM vehicles so radically superior? Even if just from a fluff standpoint, it's hard to see the justification, and even when playing a 3k game or the like where you'd see these more regularly, the difference would be quite noticeable in tabletop ability. Restricted availability doesnt necessarily resolve balance or fluff issues.

Any thoughts on if the Hellwright's Abeyant is worth the points it costs?

Okay-

Relic Contemptor with Conversion Beamer or TL Lascannon - over 200 points or under? Can it take a Volkite Culverin?


Damocles Rhino - under 100 or over?

if you're bringing it, two Baneblades and nothing else...

How does the Proteus compare to a normal Land Raider?
