Vector Strike/Slashing Attacks

[EricBasser]

I just wanted a quick reference for our Flying Monsterous Creatures and Screams with their special attacks and the capability of destroying/glancing to death vehicles. I was worried about other Flying vehicles, but after looking at the reference in the back of BRB it doesn't look too bad. I'm going to start with the lowest Strenght Screamers and work going up in Strenght. This is only for glancing, but the next models listed can Penetrate the previous vehicles. I'm going to bold and red the flyers. Now, I'm not saying this is the best way of killing vehicles. But, in a pinch and swooping, these are what our FMC and Screamers are capable of destroying.

 

Screamers can only glance, but D3 hits per 5-9 Models can destroy vehicles due to the new hull points system. And this is after they come in from reserves. Not too bad.

 

Screamers

IG; Chimera, Sentinels, Basilisk, Colussus, Griffon, Medusa, Hydra, Manticore,

SM; Landspeeder/Storm

Orks; Blitza/Burna Bomma, Dakkajet, Trukk, Warbuggy/trakk,

Tau; Piranha

Dark Eldar; Raider, Razorwing Jet Fighter, Venom,

Eldar; Vyper, War Walker

 

Next up is Fateweaver/Deamon Princes. Fateweaver is in most of my lists. As stated before, these models can penetrate the previous list, and they can only glance these models. With the Necron Vehicles, this is only after the shields have failed.

 

Fateweaver/Daemon Prince

SoB; Exorcist, Immolator, Patient Engine

SM; Dreadnought, Rhino, Razorback, Predator, Storm Talon, Vindicator, Whirlwind

CSM; Predator, Rhino, Vindicator

Necron; Doom/Night Scythe, Annihaltion/Command Barge, Ghost/Doomsday Ark, Triarch Stalker

Orks; Looted Wagon, Killa Kan

Tau; Devilfish

Dark Eldar; Ravager, Voidraven Bomber

 

Next is the Lord of Change and Daemon Prince with Unholy Might. This is only if Unholy Might is ruled as unmodified. This isn't intended as a debate over this issue. I just wanted it covered for those that play it as unmodified. For those that don't play it as unmodified, please refer to the previous list.

 

Lord of Change, Deamon Prince with Unholy Might

IG; Bane Wolf, Devil Dog, Hellhound, Deathstrike, Valkyrie, Vendetta,

SM; Venerable Dreadnought, Drop Pod, Storm Raven

CSM; Dreadnought, Defiler

Orks; Battlewagon, Deff Dread

Tau; Hammerhead, Sky Ray

Eldar; Falcon, Fire Prism, Night Spinner, Wave Serpent

 

Then we have Bloodthirsters. They can do everything listed. They can glance AV 13. With Unholy Might, they can glance, AV 14, if it is allowed. I'm not going to list all these vehicles because there are no AV 13/14 Flyers. And I just wanted to see what flyers these could hold up to, and included the regular vehicles for the heck of it.

 

Once again, they are better ways of destroying vehicles. But I just like the idea of the Greater Daemons, Daemon Princes, and Screamers swooping all around the battlefield causing havok. Plus, this might help with dealing with flyers. I know with this list, I'll be able to better prioritize my targets without having to ask "What's the side armor on that?" a bunch of times. Hope this helps, even if it's a little bit.
