This awesome model has not seen a rules update in almost a decade which, to me, is a crying shame, so I'm interested in establishing new (balanced) rules for this baby. My current ideas are:

Make the Laser Destroyer Str10 AP1 (no brainer to me, this is one of the most high powered and ancient weapons in the imperial arsenal)
Add a targetter (+1 BS)
Add the ability to chose a veteran crew for +10 points, confers Tank Hunters USR (Only tank aces and the most experienced crews are given Destroyers)
Make it a 0-1 per detachment (They're rare, very very rare)

I'd raise the point cost slightly from the original 160p to 180p (and +10 for tank hunters)

This way it's a rare tank that does one thing, but does it really well, compared to the vanquisher it's more limited since it lack secondary armament but you will hit 2/3 of the time and you are more or less guaranteed a pen if you do.

Laser Destroyers have current rules. In fact, they are included in the very latest book produced by Forge World.


You're thinking of rapiers, this is not a rapier, it's a 72" Str 10 Ap2 ordnance that does not use a blast marker. It got a mention in august last year when the IA:1 rules were updated but it remained completely unchanged since IA:1.

Not enough enemy tanks to warrant such a destructive and expensive platform.

Normal anti-tank options for the Guard are lascannons and meltaguns on infantry, and for my armored battlegroup it's demolishers and the regular Russ's Str 8 Ordnance gun.

The single-shot, no blast, expensive gun that can one-shot land raiders with ease is a thing of the past, mostly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488787/4977778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488787/4977778.page GMT Re:FW Destroyer Tank Hunter http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488787/4978283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488787/4978283.page GMT
