Forgot to say how nice I thought the Doom Wheel was.
Good Job!

The Dark Reaper Aspects opened up on the Chosen Terminators in cover and managed 4 hits. With my 4+ reinforced armour, I failed three of them. ARRRGGG!!!! The lone terminator fled like a coward.
|
That certainly stings...and no doubt they wont be very "chosen" anymore by their patrons either!
My flyers were ok, but losing that first Helltalon really stunk. Two Helltalons are deadly beyond words, one Helltalon is simply an annoyance. I guess I should have been more cautious and protect them for when I needed them later on. |
Interesting comment. I havent yet fielded my helltalons. Can you expand on this a little more?

Well, I can tell you that I fear them as a regular opponent of the Black Legion list. As Bill said, one of their own with a BP of 2 is nothing much, but 2 with BP4 plus all of the other weaponry makes it a pretty nasty threat. They have really crummy armor (5+) which makes them easy to kill, but then they are the cheapest bombers that I can think of with BP weaponry.

Indeed. In my handful of games I found that the helltalons can be a devastating artillery attack on enemy formations when I get the full 4BP, ignore cover salvo. I took out an entire clustered marine tactical formation with 3 rhinos once, albeit some luck was involved. With the havoc launchers and twin lascannon backing up the bombs, my opponents fear the damage the flyers can do. I take them for intimidation as much as anything else in larger games, although I do look forward to when I get all four flying in the future. Muhahahah!
PLus, the models from Forge World are just amazing, both the epic and 40K scales.

The Helltalons will either be reduced to 1 BP or have the Ignore Cover removed from them.

As an opponent of Bill's, let me just say "yippy"...and "when?"
And it should be noted that I didn't really need that tactical squad anyway
