Spazmonkey Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey guys is it worth spending 15 points on extra armor for a whirlwind? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181844-quick-whirlwind-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 no, simply. it should be kept behind terrain and out of sight. it shouldn'tbe moving much. stunned and shaken will have the same impact on it- it won't be able to shoot. i think extra armour should mainly be taken on vehicles you need to keep moving- transports for instance.

JamesI Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Personally, I don't think Extra armor is worth it on anything except dreads. Stunned happens only 1/6 times you get glanced/penned, the points just aren't worth it.

Fellblades Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ya, definetly no extra armor on the Whirlwind, it should be kept out of harm's way, and if it gets out flanked and is taking fire, its probably dead anyway. Spend those 15 points on extra armor for your transports, those things have got to keep rolling towards the enemy's lines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181844-quick-whirlwind-question/#findComment-2152284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 actually, i forgot about dreads... i would agree with james, dreads need it. if they are in combat it stops them getting grenaded on 4s and means they can carry on forward and assault if need be. so simply, if you take transports- yes artillery/fire base tanks (preds)- no dreads- yes land raider- up to you. if you think armour 14 is enough protection then don't if its vital it can keep moving do Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181844-quick-whirlwind-question/#findComment-2152287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
