As the subject says...for about the same points I can grab 2 x stalker anti air vehicles OR 1 xiphon intercepter.

differences"
stalkers: tougher, more wounds, 4 weapon systems to potentially split fire, + to hit air targets. less powerful weapon, - to hit ground targets
Xiphon: more powerful weapons, better range, tough to hit, +to hit air units, no - to hit due to move and fire heavy. fewer wounds, not as tough, 1 target to focus on.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated.

Againgst any army that can hit on 3+ with anti-tank weaponry, the 2 stalkers will survive longer.

Againgst 4+ shooting or melee heavy hoards, the xiphon will survive better.

Xiphons will always outdamage the stalkers againgst basically every target other than T3 infantry.

I think i have the anti horde covered with the rest of my army...xiphon it is.

Thanks!
