<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Stormsurge- Feel No Pain or not?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Stormsurge- Feel No Pain or not? As a Tau player, the Stormsurge is basically a must-have- without those S10 pie plates and cluster rockets, I get horribly run over by just about any competitive list. The question is: just how far do you go to upgrade it? The 'surge comes at a hefty 360 pts cost base, with an additional 15 for the big gun.

As it has a meager 3+ save, getting a shield generator is basically a must- which is another 50 pts, putting out Pulse Driver Cannon Stormsurge at 425 pts total. Adding FNP to this would cost another 35 pts, which feels... a bit much; 460 pts is a hell of a points sink and it detracts from everything else you get. At T6 and 8 wounds, you get a lot of durability already.

I've had some pretty good success with my own stormsurge so far, with a decent survival rate, and more importantly it gives my opponent a big, juicy target to home in on, leaving other valuable, powerful units- like my broadsides or pathfinders- unmolested.

So I'm asking: would it actually be worth it to buy a 460 pts stormsurge, with that 3+/4+/5+ save? Any tau players out there (or just experienced against tau) who would care to comment?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723491/9307757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723491/9307757.page GMT Stormsurge- Feel No Pain or not? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723491/9307798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723491/9307798.page GMT Stormsurge- Feel No Pain or not?
I want to say the st in is not available for the surge because of this, but I don't have my codex in front of me at the moment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723491/9307810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723491/9307810.page GMT Stormsurge- Feel No Pain or not?

I also like the Airburst Fragmentation Launcher (personally). I don't spring for the big gun. I like the D-Shotgun. The rest of my force does enough damage that I honestly don't think the loss of D is worth it. D is so important against some of the worst threats in 40K.
