Skkipper Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 okay looking to bring a strom eagle to an upcoming event I am playing a khorne army so the exact army is up in the air but mainly going to use the storm eagle to get lord and 9 termis or lord and a bunch of berzerkers across the field quickly. it is 205 points base with vengeance launcher and twin linked heavy bolter the upgrades for heavy bolter are twin linked multimelta +15 havoc launcher +5 reaper autocannon free I will must likely go with the multimelta on the wings you can add 4 hellstrike missles +40 points or 2 twin linked lascannons +60 or 4 balefire missles +50 points I think that all of these are too pricey but the balefire or lascannons are most tempting. upgrades are extra armour dirge caster +5 warpflame gargoyles daemonic possession since i will be using this as an assault transport I will add the dirge caster to stop some of the crazier over watch. the multimelta and dirge caster pushes it to 225. an thoughts on the wing upgrades?

BrainFireBob Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I would say none. It is a LR with double capacity. Use it that way. If you want to add firepower, hellstrike and go AA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I agree. Keep it cheap so that you can get more troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 on the wings you can add 4 hellstrike missles +40 points Are they the GW hellstrike missiles or the FW ones? The distinction is that FW has a FAQ which says the ordnance rule doesn't force the flyer to snap their other weapons in regards to their version of the hellstrike missiles, which makes the FW ones very much more effective. You can volley S8 ordanace 1 missiles via a skyfire platform, which does wonders for penetrating other flyers. The GW ones, found in the AM codex with those valks, has basically the same rules, but no FAQ to suggest that firing 1 missile doesn't cause the other missiles to have to snap, which really ruins the tactical value of the hellstrike missiles.

VonVilkee Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I wonder why they don't just change them to "primary 1" same roll 2 pick one for pen but no messy snap firing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure primary weapons also re-roll 1s to wound, which ordnance doesn't do, so the rules are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm pretty sure primary weapons also re-roll 1s to wound, which ordnance doesn't do, so the rules are different. Nope. I just looked it up. Primary Weapons are basically Assault Weapons that roll an extra die on Armour Pen and drop the lowest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Nope. I just looked it up. Primary Weapons are basically Assault Weapons that roll an extra die on Armour Pen and drop the lowest. In escalation they did. Yeah, looks like BRB altered them for 7th. BRB does say primary weapons are basically unique to super heavies. Wonder how long until GW makes a non-super heavy with one...?

WestRider Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 It's already happened. The cannon on the Necron Doomsday Ark is a Primary Weapon when it fires in its high power mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skkipper Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Keeping it cheap so no wing weapons. Here is hoping the storm tourney allows khorne demonkin to bring it and the brass Scorpion. Otherwise I will have to play my Khorne list as CSM.
