Heavy stubbers have no AT ability. Do you mean autocannons? I've actually been toying with the idea of giving the infantry Lascannons rather than autocannons (purely for the selfish reason that my infantry have Lascannons on them!
). It would be a slight buff to the AT ability of the formation but doesn't really help boost the Crassus over the chimera. The more time passes the more I think that giving it infiltrate might be the answer. Barging deep into the enemy lines before unleashing its cargo. Thoughts?
Also thanks for the feedback Junkstar. I didn't think the sky killers were too bad in formations of two, but I'm happy to hear what others think about this. Perhaps the issue is with the pylon
yep autocannon my bad
Its getting the crassus there though with the infantry intact is the issue. Due to its speed and being a prime target for either TK or AT put it at its weakness. Perhaps have a cost purchase of replace Heavy Bolter with Autocannons x2 25 points or all 4 for 50 points?
I would (rather will) do another test against a 3k SL and hopefully get a chance to take pics and or do a batrep on it
Maybe power creep with the pylon, but that was just an example, like i surmised once 1 is suppressed you can lose a lot of AA, both in cover and shots.
