Good to see we have some Orks posting to the forum.

I'm not sure that flyers are all that good. The counter to a flyer is a quad gun or Icarus lascannon with interceptor. Flyers seem to die the round they come in, unless the gun gets a few bad rolls. Even if you can't kill it the round you come in, it's gotta go after your lascannon or quad gun or it will die the next turn.

(I play Necrons, so I don't bring either of them. Flyers die horribly to 20 rapid fire guass warriors with tank hunter).

You know what they say,
"There are none so blind as those who will not see"

Your solutions are simple
1. Play objectives.
2. Get some anti-air, Hydra/emplaced AA
3. Learn to kit bash, it's not hard, a chimera with a quad cannon on the back makes a good hydra.

If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

My biggest chuckle with fliers is whoever priced the vendetta. Someone sat there and thought, lets make a flying lascannon predator but with one less front armor, and while were at it why don't we let it carry troops and for a cherry on top I think all the cannons should be twin linked that fires at full bs while moving. Oh and it Should definitely cost less.

When the vendetta was made, it was a skimmer...

130 for a wave serpent with three TL lascannons isn't THAT ridiculous.

The Vendetta WAS a skimmer, and it was fairly priced for a skimmer as well. When 6th came out, it became a flier, and it happened to age well. The price really should be much higher, and I am surprised they haven't FAQ'd it yet

It wasn't even priced well back then. It was underpriced by a fair bit.

I can't tell if you're serious.

The Vendetta is hardly an OP super-unit.

It's three lascannons. They can't shoot until turn 2 at the earliest. They have fixed mobility. They're armor 12, 12, 10. That means bolters glance their rear armor.

That's not OP. That's just a good unit.

The broken thing is the lack of anti-air. It has nothing to do with the Vendetta.

There's your problem. You're playing with guys that want to play with house rules. Demand objective games.

The Vendetta is strong, wouldn't call it OP though (and I play quite a few armies besides IG, so I have faced just as many Vendetta's as I have used them. Which is not at all, because im too lazy to put together the model for it yet while my foot army is still working haha). There is a difference between being OP and just being really underpriced. It doesn't need any rule changes, it just needs to be costed higher.

Being undercosted was the point heh. It just seems most ridiculous to me when I lookk at it next to my las predator. Oh I forgot that it also has skyfire.

Well the Las Predator also is horribly overcosted. Not exactly a fair comparison.

Okay, so your Las Predator is 10 points more than a similar unit in the IG Codex, except ours flies. Problem is, compare any Power Armor Codex's vehicles to IG vehicles, and IG Vehicles look ridiculous.

Know why? Because our troops are guardsmen. We NEED those vehicles.

If they didn't raise the vendettas price in the Death from the Skies "expansion" it seems pretty unlikely that they'll ever faq the price to be higher. It seems to me that a lack of readily available AA is much more the problem than any single flyer, not that this is the case for frogy, as he plays IG. As more 6th edition codexes come out, AA will become more commonplace and the vendetta will seem less OTT. Hell, the new Tau codex is rumored to have a flyer with a railgun.

You need to take your time writing your posts if you have trouble writing. No one is going to go anywhere. Take a few extra minutes to correct all those words with red, squiggly lines underneath them.

Armor is not useless. Flyers are not mandatory (however having one or two doesn't hurt)

Tabling someone is hard to do if both players are good.

Again, armor is not useless.
