stormravens

[Swordbrother]

I have a question;

Can the stormravens 4 bloodstrike missles all be fired in one shooting phase if its "allowed to fire all weapons"?

 

 

If thats the case imagine the alpha strike 3 stormravens all with TLLC and TML could do:

 

12 bloodstrike missles.

3 TLLC shots.

6 Regular missles.

I don't have my codex at work, but what's a TML - and where do the 6 "regular" missiles come from?

 

I must be forgetting a weapon option.

 

I thought the stormraven only had access to a Twin Link Assault Cannon, Twin Linked Lascannon, Twin Linked Multi-Melta, Twin Linked Plasma Cannon, Twin Linked Heavy Bolter and Hurricane Bolter sponsons. Plus 4 Bloodstrike Missiles.

 

I'm sorry if that comes across as sarcastic, but it's not my intention. I actually just don't know where those bonus missiles come from.

TML is referring to Typhoon Missile Launcher I believe a 25pt upgrade to replace the stock Storm Ravens Heavy Bolters.

 

As far as being able to fire all 4 missiles at once I don't see why not. I see them as 4 seperate weapon systems, adn teh codex dosn't specifically say that you can't fire all of them in the same turn. That would be a pretty impressive alpha strike to be sure ;)

See? I knew I was missing an option! Thanks. :)

 

And yes, you can totally fire all 4 of your bloodstrike missiles assuming you've moved 6" or less.

I see a lot of people saying they move 24" and use PotMS to fire 1 weapon. Page 70 says "vehicles moving flat out may fire no weapons".

 

I don't have my marine codex in front of me atm. Is PotMS worded in a way that overrides the rulebook?

 

To answer your question rodgambit POtMS allows you to shoot one more weapon then you would normally be allowed.

 

Also to add to this topic i almost always run 2 stormravens at 1750 both with multi-melta and extra armour.they almost always fly 24 then assault cannon or melta stuff, normally i do this against mech armies.

Yep. It allows you to fire one more weapon than you would normally be allowed to. So if you're moving Cruising Speed while Fast, you can fire 1+1 weapons, and Flatout can fire 0+1. Also, POTMS allows you to fire the extra weapon at another target.

Thank for the answers guys.

 

The 6 "regular missiles" is from the 3 Typhoon missile launchers. Sorry for confusing you.

 

But really, that alpha strike would really do a lot of damage. You could practically chose which armored targets you don't want to face...:P

 

After that use the SR to assault. Not the other way around. ;)

We can only get one TML on the Stormraven though, not three.

[Brother-Captain Lucius]

he gets the six TML from 3 Stormravens.

[igotsmeakabob!!]

Oooo. Missed the 3 Stormravens part.

I didn't have it in me to convert more than 1 of those beasts.
