Storm Talon brothers?

Good points all.....oh well.....I just thought it would be nice to tear up ground troops and leading Razorbacks full of assault marines to take or contest objectives.

 

I guess our brothers in blue deserve new ways to smite the enemies of the Emperor too....

We're not missing much, guys. The Storm Talon sucks. Its an overcosted, somewhat-upgunned Land Speeder. I'm not a huge fan of our own Storm Ravens, but our birds are vastly superior to that hideous flying lime.

What he said,

 

The melta proof AV 11 hull is of little use, most things still pen it pretty easy. I have enough trouble keeping a storm raven on the board with AV12.

 

AV 11 means the dreaded psyfleman and any Krak missile launchers will smack it with pens on a 4+ Assault cannons on a 6+ and psycannons on a 5+ heavy bolters will glance it. Does it get extra armour? if not then it is not ever going to be an auto include.

 

It makes a Stormravens points cost look gracious for an extra 70 we can carry troops and dreads plus an extra AV1 all round.

 

One thing though I really dont think I want one of them around for too long they are not that bad theres a lot of fire power there, I would not ignore them too long on the board either.

Pretty much what I thought when I first saw it, its an oversized speeder rather than a chopped down raven

 

I wont buy anything for my speeders (except a MM upgrade) because they drop like flies, this will die just as quickly, at considerably greater expense.

The rules are not even that bad. If they don't move, they fire their weapons at +1 BS, that's pretty good...however in the next turn they are taken down automatically. :wink:

 

AV11 is kinda ridiculous, especially for the price. The rule that makes them appear next to another deepstriking unit is pretty nice though...target saturation and some fire support the turn you deepstrike.

 

The model...well, you have to cut it up to make it look good. I've seen that in a GW where they left off the hideous assault cannon disc and cut down the tailfin. With that, it looks a lot like a helicopter and much better than before.

I picked one up on Friday just to use in Apoc matches. Why? Because I can. I'll probably end up grabbing a second and run them as a paired escort for the Raven or air cover for the ground assault. Didn't expect them to be so small though.

Why all the complaints about AV 11? I see people tossing up razorspam lists constantly, and theyre only AV 11.

I think its the idea of an armor 11 vehicle with ceramite armor to ignore melta.

my thought aswell. Even if it's a codex:SM extra, blood angels are still SM's, aren't we? We're even mentioned in the SM codex, the fact that we have our own codex too doesn't mean too me we are excluded from anything that's in it (and the manager from the local GW shop agreed with that argument anyway). The other way around however, not all SM's are BA's, they don't have the right to the SW (except GK) cause it's not in the SM codex.

The Storm Talon is an addition to codex space marines. We use codex Blood Angels. What is in codex Space Marines is irrelevant to us, except for killing it in games.

 

We don't get access to anything otuside our codex. Such as Relic Blades, Legion of the Damned, Thunderfire Cannons and now Storm Talons.
