I've had about half a dozen games with these guys now, they're extended range is nice but I still feel the standard LS wins out with its MW FF. If I'm remembering correctly, this guy was slated to cost the same as the regular LS in Neal's changedocs, but that was dropped by the NetEA I'm assuming because it wasn't deemed critical enough?

Anyway, thoughts on bumping the thing up to FF4+?  An Attack Bike has 4+ with a Heavy Bolter and twin Bolters, I don't think it's that big of a stretch to have a Heavy Bolter and an Assault Cannon give you FF4+ as well. Even a CC Dread has FF4+ and all it has is an Assault Cannon and a Stormbolter.

I'd prefer if the Tornado was a "free" swap, so, of equal value to the standard Land Speeder.

That's my "vote".

+1 to Chroma.

It's worth noting that the top UK tournament players see even the 'free' LS Tornado as not worth taking!

I'm not sure if the Tornado is worth the same as the generic Land Speeder. Perhabs with same cost as generic one and FF4+ it would be worth it?

Even the 10 point tornado I feel is worth it. 250 points for 10 5+ shots, speed 35, skimmer and scout? Thats nifty and on par with Devs and tacs. 200 points is a steal. To my knowledge there are no changes for EpicUK?

Barring the LV status, and the FF5+, sure.

To my knowlege they're Endangered, possibly Extinct, at UK tournaments.
