Xavier319 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I've heard it's in IA 9 and IA 10, I can't find it in either. Where are the most updated rules for that thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Imperial Armor 2: 2nd Edition has the most current version of the vehicle's rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Fun stuff that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TW_Haines Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 That thing is a beast, going to be fun trying to remove that from the table with the new rules. Role a 7 with it ignoring melta and lance rules. Vonvilkee and I where talking about how to run one. Cant wait to face that in a game, I may have to make a crazy landraider variant TW Haines.

Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 What's its point cost? That is the av 15 one right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 which chapters have access to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 heavy support only. I think all but the angels. 325 and still 14 all around. Inflicts -1 on the chart, and is immune to melta and lance. Super tough nut now. Haywire still ruins it tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Oh the main weakness I've found is the transport 6 and no assault vehicle rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Wow I guess no tougher than a knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Except Knights aren't AV14 and aren't immune to Melta/Lance. The main issue is that now the Achilles is scoring, whereas before it was just a big box. Thankfully Haywire/Gauss/Entropic still work on it, but with Smash Attack significantly nerfed and being immune to the most common ways of handling that sort of thing, many armies will just have no way of ever killing it, especially if there's a PFG Techmarine sitting on the inside.

It isn't objective secured and you could just charge it with troops. Nee solutions abound and it is still stupid expensive for 4 hull points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 A unit of troops inside the Achilles will prevent Objective Secured for a pretty trivial cost, as the restriction of scoring from inside a transport is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Humm..200 pts more gets ya a Stomlord that scores,you can assault out of,carries 40 troops of any unit combo and packs a serious punch firing all of its weapons at different targets.plus its open topped without the +1 damage penalty on the chart with up to 20 models being able to fire out of it. Huge and can cover an objective to the point that it can be very difficult to get within 3" of it. And now that LoW choices no longer give up VPs in non escalation scenarios they are even more viable...still spendy though! Oh and sure it doesn't give the -1 on the damage chart but with the new chart non ap1-2 weapons cannot cause an explodes result and can only glance it down...nine times of course. OK..I must confess my LRC is STILL not finished and im all but done my Baneblade kit build now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
