None of this Codex hating is doing any of you any good. And if I hear someone say one more time that a 200 point Basilisk is somehow UNFAIR, i am going to scream. Seriously. because that is nearly what you have in the Riptide, only it injures itself trying and doesn't always get to fire when it tries.

Go ahead and scream then, because I think the Riptide is most certainly unfair. Because it is immortal.

"immortal" if you never shoot high strength or weight of fire attacks at it..... or grav.

A squad of grav cent with amp cant take down a riptide in 1 turn if you do the math... So i guess you are right, its not unfair at all.

Correct me if I am wrong, but here is the math:
3 grave cents with amps
15 shots
10 hits
9.7 wounds
5++ armor save = 6.5 unsaved wounds
Dead Riptide (not even counting the hurricane bolters firing)

Better than the donkey playing anything with Wraith in the name I suppose.

Yeah I'm kinda unsure why anyone wouldn't buy FNP for their Riptide. It makes them effectively 2+/4++ for all intents and purposes.

5++ and 5+++ have a 55% save chance, which is about a 4++ save. A little better, really. FNP on the Riptide is just amazing and should probably be removed as an option. FNP makes it a pocket GMC.

He is saying that a 5++ INVUL and 5+++ FNP are functionally the same as a 4++ INVUL.

Well I love that you aren't taking into account failing the nova charge into your wound calculation, or if the grave cents are turn 1 shooting I cannot activate it, or that I don't want to activate it because I am using nova charge for one of the other ability. but sure push your agenda

If you have second turn just keep them in reserve -.- Is it that hard ? Riptide wing allows you to re-roll your nova which means you have it up most of the time... Automatically Appended Next Post: Then you throw ur S8 ap2 above their heads twice and you say see ya !
