Frowbakk Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Compare what you get to a Land Speeder Typhoon (that's the Missile launcher one, right?) or an equal points value of Dreadnoughts and they're not too shabby. Now to dig out those bitz for Rough Riders rider conversions and see if I can stretch one box into two models. If I have enough ex-Sentinels that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 In terms of per-Point durability, the Troops look to be about on par with Scions. A bit better because of the 6+FNP, but still a little more fragile than I'm entirely comfortable with. I like their weapon loadouts better than Scions, tho. Have to see how the rest of the list works with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Any hints to their flier or anti air options? Just curious how they can shore up knight weakness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 FNP is nice but they are still T 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterman Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Any hints to their flier or anti air options? Just curious how they can shore up knight weakness Twin linked Cognis lascannon/autocannon is not too shabby. Hit fliers 4 out of 9 times. The spider tank is rumored to have an icarus upgrade of some sort, so safe to assume something akin to the icarus fortifications if true. Doubt they will have fliers, at least not the wave this spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) The walkers are BS2 when snap-firing with their TL guns. That's pretty decent anti-air... scooped by Winterman! Edited March 24, 2015 by fluger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Twin linked Cognis lascannon/autocannon is not too shabby. Hit fliers 4 out of 9 times. The other thing to consider is that they aren't dedicated anti-air like some things, so if you don't face fliers, it isn't as much of a sunk cost.

generalripphook Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 So far I am not really seeing any really big weapons that might be mounted on a tank. Show me some crazy blast weapons!! The imperium needs more blast weapons!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbusePuppy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ugh, $50 for a 55pt model? There goes any chance of that ever happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Agreed walker too much, was thinking 40 cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is that 10 models for $39? Did GW fall down and hit its head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is that 10 models for $39? Did GW fall down and hit its head? A box of 10 SM is 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowbakk Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Eeeesh... There goes the plan for a unit of five Ironstriders. I'll still get (at least) two boxes of Skitarii while I await the rumored Legio Cybernetica 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Even worse if you field the 45 point version. Doh! We're talking Mek Gunz level of price here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, those are definitely priced well. Striders? Not so much. I paid $40 for the 5 metal ad mech guys I got from a 3rd party. Of course, that's factoring in shipping. Now I'm at a cross roads, spend money to get more 3rd party guys at a higher price or eat the sunk cost of the first 5 and get new GW figs? Ha! Jokes on everyone, I don't have any money so the answer is neither! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
