Exark Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 This just occurred to me Has anyone considered running a Stormtalon with Wolf Scouts? I figure it would be a nasty surprise to have a flyer show up in your opponents backyard. Any thoughts on its viability? Furthermore, is it even legal?

Kassill Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 That idea has been kicking around since we all got our first glimpse at the Talon's rules. While probably effective, I don't find it fluffy. Scouts being all sneaky like, then loud flying gunship blazing in behind them. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256571-idea-for-taking-sm-allies/#findComment-3121790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjace Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 i dunno the idea of a commando raid with a gunship backup for when it gets to hairy seems very believable to me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256571-idea-for-taking-sm-allies/#findComment-3121803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 allies can't ride in eachother vehicles I believe unless it's apocalypse :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256571-idea-for-taking-sm-allies/#findComment-3121814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzo Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 allies can't ride in eachother vehicles I believe unless it's apocalypse :) I believe the stormtalon can escort any unit coming in from reserve. (except deep strike) I don't think it can even carry passengers, but I'm not completely sure.

SgtTelion Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I love the idea, But after checking I have to quote Hendrik I'm afraid (well, I'm not afraid...) allies can't ride in eachother vehicles I believe unless it's apocalypse Tis true :P Such a shame too. But, I have to chime in here too: storm talon escorting an outflanking grey hunter plasma pack? Why not a Grey Hunter Plasma Pack escorting a Grey Hunter Plasm Pack?

Why not a Grey Hunter Plasma Pack escorting a Grey Hunter Plasm Pack? cause its extra saga of the hunter character and it isnt 100% chance that it will come in togeather in the same turn or on the same edge. its 100% with the storm talon doing the 'escort' thing with the ghs.

dswanick Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 1. Stormtalons are not Transports. A Stormtalon has a rule allowing it to "escort" another unit in Reserves. These two units are treated as a single unit for purposes of the Reserve Availability die roll, and enter together from the same board edge. 2. I could see this as being fluff-viable. It doesn't necessarily have to mean that the loud, obvious Flyer has been sneaking around behind enemy lines for the last few weeks like the Scouts. Just that it arirved in the area shortly before the battle, and was vectored into the fight by our sneaky Wolf Scouts who have been loitering around for weeks. 3. That said - as much as I would like to be able to put one in my army, I'm sticking with BA as allies*. If I need to borrow a flyer from them I will go with the Stormraven. *because I want to field this: http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/dswanick/Warhammer%2040000/Space%20Wolves/SpaceWolvesDreadnought.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256571-idea-for-taking-sm-allies/#findComment-3121900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
