dudelord Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hey, I did search a bit round the place but I'm not sure if this has been mentioned ages back or something and I just didn't get it. Anyways, I've been reading a bunch of peoples army lists and was noticing that EA doesn't get thrown onto anything and everything anymore. I don't have a whole lotta 5th ed experience, but I was wondering why EA isn't instantly put on Rhino's anymore. I mean is it just too expensive now for what it offers? Or does 5th ed allow you to close faster so having mobile vehicles isn't as important? Again, thanks in advance and sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, or if its something really obvious that I just don't get. P.S. The majority of my experience is in 3rd and 4th ed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181159-extra-amour/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Amarel Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's now a much more costly upgrade (both in terms of flat cost and relatively to the price of the cheaper Rhino / RB). A few people still swear by it, but for the most part it's a luxury item that can be squeezed in if you have the spare points.

Yeti Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well, I seem to be the odd wolf out for the moment. I guess that since I never got used to the 35pts rhino, it doesn't seem as steep a price. I actually say it as a price drop since I was always used to paying 58pts the rhino that now costs 50. I personally find it essential on transports. The whole point with transports is to get somewhere and getting stunned happens fairly frequently. On vehicles that provide fire support (pred, vindis etc ...) it's not useful and I'd rather invest in a hunter-killer and/or dozer blade.
