My question is what would be better for a 2250 list, 2 units of 2 salamanders or 1 unit of sallies and 1 unit of razordons? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265429/1112286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265429/1112286.page GMT
Benefits of salamanders OVER razordons:
No need to worry about roll to hit (you have the same chance of a misfire)
Cause panic with 1 wound
Flamer templates can = win when you get about 6-8 inches away and start flaming infantry or low T cav.
-3 to armour save
If partials become auto hit with 8th ed as skaven template weapons have become, salamanders are going to be 'must haves'.

Downside:
Can't stand and shoot (from memory)

Why Razordons are better:
Stand and shoot can be awesome.
St 4 shots

Downside:
Roll to hit.
Lets say you take 2- Average 10 shots, 5 will hit normal enemies. Much less than the usual roll I've done with salamanders.


In the end I think razordons are more reliable, but end up being worse as their reliable ability is much worse than the 'average' salamander shot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265429/1112726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265429/1112726.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265429/1112830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265429/1112830.page GMT
