They fit their role much better in the new addition. In the stories they plow through walls of fire and deliver their cargo and still manage to limp away. In 7th edition they were first shot, first kill targets even with the better cover save system. Drop pods are still useful for nabbing far off objectives but the Rhino is reusable and can hamper your enemies progress too.

But he has a big intimidation factor and force multiplier with the rerolls for nearby squads and the immune to morale for nearby units.<br /><br />The Lascannon squad make a big dent in Ginges force on turn 1 and then helped bring down one of the flyers before the other turned on them. A cheap Chaos Lord nearby allowed them to reroll 1s and was there to back them up if Ginge got close. <br /><br />The Ectoplasma Cannons performed really well this game but I think they suffer now they have been reduced to S7 and no chance to overcharge. They do d3 shots and d3 wounds each and all my Forgefiends have 3 but they hit on 4+ which is ridiculous with the random shot element too. They both survived though and were key in my victory in the end as they marched up the board almost unmolested because Ginge had deepstrike units to deal with and my squad in the Rhino deploying right in his face. <br /><br />It was a hard fight all the way but stealing the initiative and being able to bring so many CPs to bear helped a lot.Noveltyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895585624898373645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495078677810469440.post-22690773492956863282017-08-23T11:51:10.086-07:002017-08-23T11:51:10.086-07:00Standard rules, you don't have to buy it, just...Standard rules, you don't have to buy it, just paint it... it can be a new army or adding to an existing one.

In one game, my squad killed 2 leman russ tanks and a chimera. Good tradeoff.<br /><br />Let us know how Abaddon gets on. One word of advice - be wary of deathwatch shotguns. I dunno if Ginge uses them, but they are a lot better than Astartes shotguns.Crimson Corvidaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044016854902901586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495078677810469440.post-49059517842497627302017-08-22T06:10:22.929-07:002017-08-22T06:10:22.929-07:00All sounds good to me.

It's harder for people to drop by the wayside or fall too far behind, and it's easier arranging things.<br /><br />I'm happy to follow your lead on the set up. It's obviously been a long time since I've done anything like it.<br /><br />Perhaps we could start in December or January. Enough time to plan, aave up money, finish off some current projects etc. Also, I guess we could include models we currently own but aren't painted or only up to undercoated - looking at Novelty Boy's collection he has quite a backlog lol.Crimson Corvidaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044016854902901586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495078677810469440.post-40409438081587204262017-08-22T04:58:31.630-07:002017-08-22T04:58:31.630-07:00Ha, IF we get the original gang back together, AND...Ha, IF we get the original gang back together, AND we all want to do it, to try to do it as well as we did the first one with full involvement and it will be a closed invitation, rather than my more recent attempts which have tried to include everyone and always failed because people sign up then drop out... well I'd say we'd need to put a little more lead time into it to be honest. October is a lot closer than we realise. But hey, i'm willing to go with the consensus on this, I think I've got a good system in place for it after my last attempt at a tale... wouldn't take too long to dust it off, and agree a timescale that works for all four participants.Gingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155099423475435032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495078677810469440.post-49686539464565538872017-08-22T01:27:50.377-07:002017-08-22T01:27:50.377-07:00Yes!
