I want to discuss if anything has changed from the new FAQ. Previously, the thought process has been: CHE for anit-air, Hemlock for everything else
Now that Blast with Skyfire can hit Flyers/FMCs, is the above still true? Or is the Hemlock now the better option?

Are 2 "D-1" blasts better than 4 BS5 str8/AP2 shots (2 w/ Lance) that re-roll to armour-pen Flyers?
I have been using the CHE in every list since 7th dropped and have found it useful, but not always needed. The Hemlock, OTOH seems like it could really be MVP]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8659396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8659396.page GMT Crimson Hunter Exarch or Hemlock Wraithfighter?
The Hemlock is more of a sucker-punch unit, taking advantage of fleeting enemy weakness and supporting your ground troops. It's better off solo, as it's there to help other units so you want it to be cheap and flexible so you don't feel the need to plan your strategy around it.

Only taking one flyer? Take a Hemlock. Taking more than one? Take Crimson Hunters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8659452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8659452.page GMT Crimson Hunter Exarch or Hemlock Wraithfighter?
I will also agree with Saber, on taking Crimson hunters in pairs. They seem to fair better when not alone and never change the brightlances to starcannons on them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8660229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8660229.page GMT Crimson Hunter Exarch or Hemlock Wraithfighter? FAQ change has dropped. It's got a much broader range of good targets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8660593.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691089/8660593.page GMT Crimson Hunter Exarch or Hemlock Wraithfighter? DE flyer (Razorwing model) magnetized with a wide variety of weapons. I don't plan on ever getting another, so I guess I'll trick it out to be a Hemlock.
