Swan-of-War Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 So, how would one use these to their best effect? A model in base-to-base is able to fire the Storm Bolters - but what is the LoS? Would the gunner need to be standing at the side of the container so they personally could see the target? Or could the stand behind it and you draw LoS from the container itself? And what about the rest of the squad - they can't really see through it, can they? I'm not sure if you'd want to put one guy in base-to-base with the container and the rest of the squad behind the crates/barrels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 When firing an emplaced weapon manually, both the gun and the shooting model need to be able to see the target. Honestly, the Storm Bolters are the least important part of the thing- there's tons of other benefits. The big advantages to the Containers are the random table of abilities you roll on and the bonus mini-terrain that comes with it. The table has several potentially powerful results (4++ save, free orbital bombardment, +1Str for rapid fire/assault weapons) that aren't hard to take advantage of, depending on your faction. The Ammo Stores and Fuel Dumps are both very useful as well and can easily be worth the 40pt price on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks AbusePuppy! I plan on running one with Skitarii along with the Relic that allows you to reroll the Mysterious result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
