Guest Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Rules: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/D/Deimos_Vindicator_Laser_Destroyer.pdf What are the thoughts on this guy? I'm undecided. On the one hand, it's got double the vindy range and a very potent AT weapon, but on the other hand, it doesn't ID T5 and doesn't have the crowd control ability of the classic vindy.

WestRider Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Power Capacitor is what really sells it to me. Once you get it into a decent position, 2 TL Ordnance is getting pretty solid, and the option to overcharge for a third shot is great, especially if you've got a Techmarine or someone else around who can patch it up. It's very much a different Role than the classic Vindicator, but I think it could have a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Angel Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Best part any space marine including grey knights can get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophecy Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I am actually interested in this tank for a grey knight army. I think it adds some nice diversity tactically and visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I wonder if you can build it without the main gun deployed. Ideally, it would be on tracks you could add some servos to and reel it in, but doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbusePuppy Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'd call it decent but not amazing. 2-3 Ordnance shots have a good chance of doing some damage to a target, but it still has that Side AV11 that will often get it killed. It's not really supposed to "compete" with the standard Vindicator because they do drastically different jobs- one is an anti-tank sniper unit, the other one is a multirole vehicle designed to crack tough targets. You'd be more accurate comparing it to something like a TriLas Predator or Sicaran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainFireBob Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Seriously thinking about getting one for my Chaos. I'd been tentatively budgeting Rapier batteries; this might be a better way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like it might be doable as a conversion too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm not a fan of those exhaust stacks. I know they have to justify the resin cost, etc., but no thank you to those things. Rest of it (and rules) look interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Any clue if pivots count as movement for this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Any clue if pivots count as movement for this thing? "Pivoting on the spot alone does not count as moving, so a vehicle that only pivots in the Movement phase counts as Stationary (however, Immobilised vehicles cannot even pivot on the spot)."

Prophecy Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 There are a few of these tanks that should have a full or partial kit. I too would like to have the necessary forgeworld bits in order to add it to an existing rhino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
