Guroff Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Vindicator Rules Question: Guys, I am hoping someone can answer a probably pretty easy rules question I have now that I just finished my first Vindicator Model and fielded it the other day. In the codex, the Vindicator is cabable of being fielded with a Siege shield and a Dozer blade.... Does the Siege shield cover both the Difficult terrain and Dangerous terrain or do I need to allocate both points wise to gain both benefits... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Siege Shield will cover you for both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebsolom Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The Siege Shield covers both. If you read the BRB p.57 2nd paragraph "Vehicles are not slowed down by difficult terrain, but treat all difficult terrain as dangerous." So you only have to buy ONE upgrade, the Siege Shield is superior to a dozer blade. Ebsolom Edit: Ninja'd by Leonaides :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deschenus Maximus Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Just a thing to think about though: a Vindi with Dozer Blade only has 1 in 36 chance to get immobilised. So essentially the Siege shield is a 5 points upgrade to the DB to negate the 2,8% chance of getting stuck... not really worth it, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those games the dozer blade fails, that stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opponent immobilized both on the terrain he deployed in. Was a lovely lovely game. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainLNH Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I use my Vindicator in almost every game. I have found that the siege shield is extremely useful. I don't mind paying five extra points for the ability to cross terrain without risk. I also take it because it scares people out of their wits when it obliterates eight marines with one shot. If it loses the demo cannon I simply ram other vehicles to pieces. Good luck with your vindicator Gurof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
