This would still be cool, though. How would you price it? Flakk on CSM Havocs is +10pts, so it should be at least +20pts since you've got two shots...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4966311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4966311.page GMT Re:land speeders vs flyers http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4966555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4966555.page GMT Re:land speeders vs flyers It's not far capt'n!

Just updated rules for all your flyers and super-heavy flyers. Barracuda (really cheap BS3 light flyer with an ion cannon and a missile pod), Tiger Shark (2-SP superheavy that transports fourteen Gun Drones around for some reason), Tiger Shark AX-1-0 (2-SP superheavy with a giant Apocalypse-scale twin-linked railgun (S D solid shot and S7/AP3/10" blast submunitions)), Orca (3-SP superheavy transport that can carry four Fire Warrior squads and six Battlesuits and have them all disembark via one access point in one turn), Manta (10-SP superheavy giant lump of killy death), and Remora drones (squadrons of 1-5 cheap light flyers with twin-linked 36"-range burst cannons).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968484.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968484.page GMT land speeders vs flyers

It makes no sense. The very means by which the Land Speeder operates makes it unable to shoot correctly at the sky. Also traditionally anti-air is either carried out by other air vehicles or ground support capable of staying rather stationary, which a Land Speeder wouldn't work well doing. They are all about fast recon and scouting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968606.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968606.page GMT land speeders vs flyers

That's what the Whirlwind Hyperios is for, in terms of generalist air cover. I can tell you that it's a Whirlwind that replaces its normal blast-artillery with a Skyfire/Intercept krak missile, I suspect that I'm forbidden by forum rules to go into more detail.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968735.page GMT land speeders vs flyers SW army. I was just trying to find a cheap semi flyer for my army. Maybe put in the rules that if a land-speeder uses flak missiles it fired at minus 1 of the BS, if they are moving, or something like that. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4968851.page GMT land speeders vs flyers

Keeping the upgrade cost, that'd actually be reasonably balanced. I'd play against it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4972413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488188/4972413.page GMT
