I ran a 2 falcon list with 3 vypers in a 1500 pt tourament and won 8-0 so I feel I should speak up for both of them... they were the stars of the tournament as far as I was concerned.. the falcons were NEVER shot at the whole game. They were also NEVER used as transports... I had them with BL each .. the 6 str 8 shots per turn from the back line was enough to kill a land raider in 1 turn...in first game... rare you might say but it was glanced to death and it happened without a kaboom.. the vypers were only shot at twice in all 8 games and I lost one once only.. the rest of the 8 games they were free to fire their 1xSCanon 1xSL each.. 21 shots.. lots of dakka.. they ran interference along side the serpents and were invariably ignored in favour of the wave serps...

Also my 3 serpents had SL and SC so it was an insane amount of str 6/7 shooting.. 6 vehicles in a mob on a flank.litterally wiping out what they met..

So if you want to build a winning army at 1500 that uses vypers and falcon... i say..

Go for it!
