This should be in General instead of You Make Da Call, as this Forum is for us to argue over what a particular Rule means.

To answer the question though:
This Unit is out-dated, over-powered and under-priced... I would face it once to see what it is capable of but unlikely more then that. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8052156.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8052156.page GMT Legitimacy of SXV-141 S.A.W?

I've played against this thing a few times, and I can tell you that while it is indeed outdated, it is neither overpowered and definitely not underpriced. It survived to see Turn 3 only once out of the dozen or so battles, and that should tell a lot about this unit. It is such an overpriced glass-cannon, I wonder why it isn't in the Dark Eldar codex . ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8052469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8052469.page GMT Legitimacy of SXV-141 S.A.W? AV 14, Side and rear 13, 6 Hull Points and 50% invulnerability chance is a 'glass cannon?'

It's weapon systems also include:
2 apocalypse Blast Markers, which are strong enough to make Monstrous Creatures weary and deny Marines their Armour Saves
6 marker-lights, at above average ballistic scores, to ensure both blasts have Ignore Cover Special Rule
and an assorted 30 anti-infantry shots for the first two turns at the very least, though some can be held back for later turns if they are not required

I will subtract the 'under-price,' that really wasn't justified... it's point value is actually a little on the punitive side compared to other Super-Heavies

The problem is in bold. Also, it only gains the 4+ invu against attack coming more than 8" away. So, yeah, the first meltapod will wreck it without much problem. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8053535.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8053535.page GMT Legitimacy of SXV-141 S.A.W? It still has front armour of AV 14, making it immune to to Strength 7 shots or below
It still has side armour that makes it immune to Strength 6 shots or below
It still has a chance of an invulnerability save that very few vehicles get

The 'glass cannon' description does not fit this Unit...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8055714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660116/8055714.page GMT
