Keep in mind the Rvarna is not a JUMP model, so it moves 6" a turn. Its guns do have high range but its not that hard to block LOS for range, often speed and the ability to be somewhere fast (or not be somewhere ) is better than range.

at bs3 without something to up its chance to hit the average pie plate will not land on target.

The only thing thats really scary about this thing is the cluster rules and a lucky streak of rolls.

Ah I forgot about that restriction on the the rules. Thanks for clarrifying. It wouldn't have been something I would have done anyway as it was clear to me it shouldn't really be able to take them in the first place. Hence why I said common sense wise it shouldn't be done. As pointed out by others in the thread though it can't be done anyway with the wording shown on the rules.

I pointed it out in my last post, with page numbers and everything.

This rule wouldn't be able to be used to get signature systems from the farsight book then could it? Once again, just asking for clarrification. I don't think it does, but just in case some people think it could.

I doubt it. The Farsight book allows Riptides to take signature systems, but the R'Varna is consistently referred to as a R'Varna or R'Varna battlesuit. However, the R'Varna battle suit is then referred to as a "variant of the standard XV104 Battlesuit" (first sentence under the rules for XV107 battle suit on p. 2 of the pdf). Still a bit of a stretch, though, IMO.
