Land Raider Achilles

[Gv0zD]

Its not even an assault vehicle!!

 

What kind of self-respecting BA player wants to drive around in that? :P

My thoughts exactly!  ;)

 

We don't need this artillery, we have our transports and assault units, so let other defense-liking Chapters use this *thing* :D  

[Lynnean]

yeah; we hit fast & hard into the heart of the enemy.

we are not sitting back because our marines are too scared to kill some in hand-to-hand;

we are, the angels of death, like Dante said! :blush:

[shatter]

Sounds like just the vehicle to stick a shield libby, priest and techmarine & servie squad (in a big game).

[Judaz]

The fact that we are the only chapter excluded from being able to take the Achilles fills me with hope.

 

The Storm raven is a heavy support and GW don't want anything standing in it's way of becoming a top seller. This might point to the SR being BA and GK exclusive.

[Vanir]

"A Land Raider Achilles is also a Heavy Support choice in a Codex Space Marines, Codex Black Templars, Codex Space Wolves, or Codex: Dark Angels army."

 

If it's going through the trouble of naming all of those other chapters, and says nothing about the Blood Angels, then I don't think that we can use it.

Please note, with the best of intentions towards Zekk_Sirius - "I've heard..." usually translates I read something on teh interwebz and I lolls it!. It may be, it may not be, but it certaionly isnt worth getting your knickers in a twist about because some warhampster geek starts to spread a fanboi rumour about a unit he wants in his own army.

 

Well I'm aware I don't have some sort of proven track record, so I don't expect everyone (or anyone) to believe me, I merely wanted it to be known to minimise impact. You can believe me, or not. I play Blood Angels, so in the end I have access to a Stormraven anyway.

 

We'll see in February, I guess.
