Land Speeder Tornadoes

[Orphus]

In the Fast Attack section it says "Any Land Speeder may be upgraded to a Land Speeder Tornado armed with one of the following:" It then goes on to lable the price of a heavy flamer as 10 points and multi melta at 20 despite them being cheaper as a regular Land Speeder and the only things it adds otherwise as a Tornado varient is the opportunity to take either a heavy bolter or an Assult cannon.

As a Land Speeder Typhoon allows Typhoon missiles is this just an error or am I missing something?

[Ghent]

It's in addition to the default weapon, I believe. So you're adding another weapon.

 

On that regard.... double multi-melta Land Speeders anyone?

Mother of god...:P that's insane. I hope that's the case.

Ghent is correct. A Tornado-pattern Land Speeder as two weapons, the second one under the chin to be precise. So the points you pay for the upgrade are points for a second weapon.

Yes, that means you can have speeders with two multi-meltas, for 80 points per model.

I ve used these to great effect there are just too many LR's to kill for me locally

No splitfire though, correct?

if only

[MeatGrinder]

Double heavy flamer. That is all.

I run mine with Assault cannon and multimelta for a nice 100 points.

 

Pretty flexible loadout.

[Nadir]

H. Flamer and M. Melta. Good against any combination of units, low price cost. Only disadventage is that you have to be close to the enemy. But 2 or 3 of them could be very attractive fire magnet or suicide unit, and still they can easyly return their points cost.

 

And yes, they have two weapons.

I have looked at this combo but never taken it how do you find they do?

[Grey Mage]

The 24" range limitation means theyre in striking distance of most enemy units and at the same time theyre focused on killing enemy vehicles or tough infantry- both of wich are likely to have the weapons needed to take them down. I find that the need to be so close combined with their higher price tag is a bad combination overall... I never take assault cannons on speeders since they changed the rending rules.

They work for me, but that's due to local metagame.

 

I face allot of Tyranids and powerarmour so the weapon mix tends to help. We have a houserule that involves all-comers lists, building to take on a specific enemy is highly discouraged and qho we face on any given game is often random.

 

I find that the assault cannon is great for getting woundson the higher toughness Nids and the multimelta kills mobile vehicles.

me too I tried AC's(HB/AC format though) for while at the beginning to 5th but never found they did as well. It was the reason i dropped my HF just never got close enough to use it
