Multiple Hellcanonns, too much?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2356684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2356684.page GMT Re:Multiple Hellcannons=too much http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2356832.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2356832.page GMT Multiple Hellcannons=too much WoC book. Sure, they're a bit undercosted given that you get a competent combat monster as well as one of the game's scariest stone throwers, but there's an answer for them, and a fairly cheap one at that, in almost everybody's list.

8th is the opportunity to flex your muscles and be brutal as you can be, because you need it.

If they whine, that's their problem.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2358261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2358261.page GMT Multiple Hellcannons=too much
You'd be able to have 4 at 3280pts (so usually 3500pts), vs an army which is probably rife with counters.

My core group of opponents never play less than 2k, and the good majority are 2500+. This is mostly for my benefit because I play Ogre Kingdoms. I say bring 2-3 of anything and then tone it down if your regular and frequent opponents don't seem to enjoy the games you play with them. This being said, it's important to realize a little bit of complaining about your opponent's units and their special rules is often common, from both sides of the board. This is to be ignored, or even reciprocated, depending on circumstances.

The amount of counters available at those levels even out the playing field. At 2k, Empire could field several cannons and mortars in comparison to our 2 possible hellcannons. Armies without that kind of fire-power can usually tarpit for eternity or magic you away. That's not to say that every army has a counter, but the majority of armies do in some form or another that makes maxing out hellcannons whenever possible less of a guilty pleasure and more of a back-up plan in case your original one gets sniped on the first turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2372258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2372258.page GMT Multiple Hellcannons=too much http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2372992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2372992.page GMT Multiple Hellcannons=too much
I said they could get cannons and mortars as a compariosn for how much firepower we can see flying our way in exchange for what we can put out.

The great cannons are the hellcannon counters, the mortars shell the gak out of our warriors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2373004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2373004.page GMT Multiple Hellcannons=too much
Besides, as someone else already said for every hellcannon that hits the table I can drop 2-3 warmachines with Empire. You can keep your 2 hellcannons if you want to play against my 3 mortars and 3 cannons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2373561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/341445/2373561.page GMT
