<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "How many Thunderfire Cannons is too many?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net How many Thunderfire Cannons is too many? IH chapter tactics (or Ultras as I might be doing) and their value increases.

So I've been in the process of gathering and converting up 4 of these babies. But is it overkill? Is there such a thing as overkill anymore? Is it too niche to take multiples of?

But most importantly, what's the optimized unit count?

Two units of two?
One unit of three, for increased BS?
Four single units, with an Allied detachment?


It's definitely a central theme to the army. I'm using Bikes as troops so mobility isn't an issue. Thanks for the ideas.

CAD, or 1-1-1 CAD with 1 Allied. While the added BS from a single battery of 3 is nice, an MSU list will be able to force you into overkill. Better to have them in separate units so you can move fire to Target B when Target A is eliminated by the first TFC.

Course, if I had 3 more TFCs, I'd run them 2-2, with the 3rd Heavy slot filled with a battery of 3 Rapier Mortars, but that's just me ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672706/8306917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672706/8306917.page GMT Re:How many Thunderfire Cannons is too many?
If you really face somthing like multiple 30 boyz mob in ruins and KFF Mek, 30 strong Termagant in ruin supportted by Vemonthrope and Tervigon, or 50 man guards blob. I propose one unit of 3 cannons. Usually the scatter of the first template is vital. Improve the BS from 5 to 6 would let your chance of direct hit imcreased by 10%, just remember to put them on some kind of high rise multi level terain so they can get LOS on most place of the field.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672706/8306935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672706/8306935.page GMT
