Poof, there goes 600pts...


You don't auto die if you get shot down. That only happens if you moved flat out and crashed on your turn (i.e. dangerous terrain, tremor staffs/writhing worldscape, etc). On your opponent's turn, they get to disembark as normal even if your vehicle wrecks as it is now a different turn.

This exactly. I did see it happen in a game once though to Dark Eldar after I cast Tempest's Wrath. It wasn't pretty.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4383346.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4383346.page GMT Stormeagle Role
The reason I brought it up is this (pretty funny actually):
dude at local tourny took a Caestus Ram full of assault Termies, rammed it flat out at a rhino (pretty much full 36"), penned itself, failed the invulnerable save, and got a wrecked result... Needless to say it got a few laughs out of the people there...
But I see what you mean about being on a different turn when you get shot at, good to know indeed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4384896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4384896.page GMT Stormeagle Role
Back to the storm eagle, I was thinking of picking one up for my deathguard army. Give it daemonic possession and run it without any other upgrades as a troop transport. Since I am not using it as a gun boat I dont mind losing power of the machine spirit, and daemonic possession makes it so I can still move 12, drop of my cargo and fire the vengeance missiles at some troop. No flat out and then popping a tank will be a bummer however.

I think I am going to wait and see if they make forgeworld more mainstream in 6th edition or with the new rules. Because if I can start taking them to most tournaments my wallet will be empty. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4384947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4384947.page GMT Stormeagle Role http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4385639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4385639.page GMT Stormeagle Role

Yes, and it's 205 points with a few less weapon options.

For 225 points, I'd run a Stormeagle over a Land Raider. Model doesn't look too bad either. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4385808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/454378/4385808.page GMT
