http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net BS (being fast vehicles). Seems like it could be a very effective shock squad especially when the falcons pump out 6 starcannon shots, 9 shuriken cannon shots, and 6 pulse laser shots.

Anyone have any opinions on this type of army?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8039701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8039701.page GMT
1. It's a lot of points invested in one trick. If the drop doesn't go perfectly and the Fire Dragons die the next run, it's a lot of points down the tube.

2. It's all dependent on a single reserve roll. An Autarch can help with this, but you can still get unlucky and not have the units come in when you need them to.

For my points/money, I would opt for Wave Serpents to transport Fire Dragons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8039715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8039715.page GMT
I actually prefer MELEE units in them. You can't assault out of the falcon, or after arriving from reserves. So, put 2 squads of scorpions, and one of banshees in them,get out and into cover spreading out around the falcons, then kill something dead with the tanks. You now control 1/3 of your average table with 6 units that can threaten every unit in the game in one way or another.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8040557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8040557.page GMT

As it is... well... Some day I'll play in a 3,000+ point game, and this set up will be worth the points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8040587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8040587.page GMT
Use them as mobile artillery, and the melee units will push things away from them as they scoot around killing things.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8040687.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8040687.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8046520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8046520.page GMT

Also, I discovered I only had two falcons, and you can't get the turrets separate for love nor money, Doh.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8052714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8052714.page GMT FDs unloading - I think one game I took out 2 Chims and a Leman Russ and then shredded the IG guys who got out.

However in another, the field was very packed and they couldnt get in a decent position and were sort of meh.

They are very dependant on terrain, reserve rolls and placement for a large points investment. But as said, when they work, theyre' very powerful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8053443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659397/8053443.page GMT
