Gumo9 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I've just been flicking through the new Aeronautica book and according to page 30 we now can take the Caestus Assault Ram as a Fast Attack choice. Still no acces to the Storm Eagle but I prefer the Caestus anyway. Will you be fielding a Caestus?

Drunken Angel Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Its fast but with that crappy rear armour AV 11 it won't last long, I will prefer stormravens myself. I can see how that 18 inch heavy twinlinked AP1 S8 large blast melta template would put the fear of the warp in any termie sqaud caught out in the open and provided you kept the rear armour protected it would be a formidable problem.

Pavement Artist Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Seriously?! I bloody love that thing. I care not a jot about how good it is in the game, i want ol' ramming shoebox now.

shaun03 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 This would be great, I normal play chacardons anyway. So now I would have a reason to buy one. If it would be turny legal that would be even better. Yeah ravens are better. But I wold take one no matter what there just to cool.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I wouldn't take a Caestus because I think they're cheesy as all hell in a normal 40k game.

jadebullet Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Don't forget that you can take the Stormtalon and Stormeagle as well. Just paint them BA colors, and claim you are taking them via Codex Space Marine "allies."

JamesI Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I wouldn't take a Caestus because I think they're cheesy as all hell in a normal 40k game. I'm not sure I would use one in a normal game, but I could see adding one for Apoc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257662-new-flyer-for-blood-angels/#findComment-3135821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivepointedstar Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I knew my patience would pay off. Now we need to just snag some of those Storm Talon STC's to use as interceptors for our Storm Ravens, and Caetus Ram's . :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257662-new-flyer-for-blood-angels/#findComment-3136035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrenael Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I would just use the StormEagle as a StormRaven anyways because the model looks better. With a few modicifications.

SevenExxes Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The best thing about the assault ram is that it can carry ten terminators instead of half capactiy, thanks to special rules, and can also be equipped with frag launchers.

Drunken Angel Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 only flyer in game that can ram too. Is it a flyer or a fast skimmer tank ? The only rules that I see are "Vehicle (Tank, Skimmer, Fast)" This would give it the "jink" special rule and being a tank and able to start the game on the table I am rethinking my postion on the CAR. Being able to put troops in it and send it off across the board sounds a lot more useful. With my ravens coming from reserves I may find a place for a CAR if it is indeed a fast skimmer tank. Can someone please clear this up for me ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257662-new-flyer-for-blood-angels/#findComment-3184632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
