antacidbrn Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The Whirlwind seems like a very cheap and effective unit in the new codex. It looks like an excellent tool to support the Ravenwing with the range of the weapon and barrage capability. I mostly play 1,000-1,500 point games, and this seems like a must have to my lists at ths point level. Any thoughts about the viability of this unit?

HJL Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 they take up a hvy slot but at that lvl your not going to fill them anyway. i think that they are a great choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upstartes Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have always loved the idea of the Whirlwind, even if it didn't show up in lists that often. This new cheap version makes me very happy. I think it will definitely have a place in some lists. Too bad it didn't get an AA missile upgrade option. Then it would have been amazing.

antacidbrn Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 @Upstartes, I wanted AA missiles too, but I guess we cannot have it all can we? Is it just me or is 65 points cheaper than other SM codices as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or is 65 points cheaper than other SM codices as well? Yes, it is (85 in C:SM). Perhaps it is a sign of the future for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphilo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 In the previous codex, I would always bring a Whirlwind. My train of thought was, it's super cheap and pretty good at Anti-Horde, why the hell not? Now? It's cheaper and still does the same job? I'm never leaving home without it!

Interrogator Stobz Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Before the FAQ that made THSS the spamable unit of choice I used to regularly run three with my greenwing. I traded them for vindies for a while but now....awesome!! I'll let plasma deal with MEQ/TEQ now. :woot: stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
