HsojVvad Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I haven't read my DA codex for a week or so. All I can remember is seeing something about having 15 speeders. Is this possible or did I read it wrong? Also if it is possible can anyone else do it? Also not sure how many points wise is this, would this be viable? All I can think of seeing some awesomeness on how it would look on the battlefield. So what do you guys think? Yeah I am bored, never saw anything like this, so wanted to see what everyone thinks.

Brother_Angelus Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yeh, maximum you can take is 22. Sammeal on Sableclaw, 6 independent ones from your ravenwing bike Troops, 15 in your three Fast slots. Although that is A LOT of points and they're still only AV10. Throwing in a darkshroud and losing 5 speeders will make the rest more durable, but even then, its perhaps not a great idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Typhoons with HB: 75each x 5= 375 Three Sqns = 1125pts Plus with RWAS (80+81+75minimum) = 236 Six Sqns = 1416pts RWSS+RWAS= 2541pts of zoom zoom pew pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkangeldentist Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yes it is possible since we can field 5 speeders as a single choice but if you take Sammael or Azrael to make attack squadrons troops then you could add another 6 plus 3 vengeance speeders from the heavy support section. Would take a vast number of points for the army but would look amazing. With Sammael that is 25 speeders! I admit, I am very tempted to field a four or five strong squadron with a dark shroud. It's ability to grant stealth and the special rules for squadrons going flat out would make for an awesome firebase. A swarm of four typhoons with a single basic speeder acting as bullet catcher with the dark shroud shadowing them. Just add a divination librarian and you've got sickening amount of firepower that's not quite so easy to take down as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Many years ago I fielded three Tornadoes as a Sqdrn. Now I can field Five, haaaa, haahhhahahaa, hhahaaaaaa, hahahahahhha. With a Dark Shroud....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICS Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I am running a Ravenwing list at the moment with a unit of five heavy bolter/typhoons with a Darkshroud giving them stealth. The out put is awesome. A mate has been running triple battlewagon orks and once I pop the battle wagons and they are grouped dropping 10 small blasts and five heavy bolters on them with divination is devastating. Any thing you shoot with the squad has a massive chunk taken out of them. Having a 4+ cover on them is awesome. What I have also been doing is positioning the first one behind a ruin so that he will have a 3+ or when I can make it so that the facing is covered giving me a 2+. They can be so annoying for opponents. I couldn't see me taking any more than one squad as I love my dark shrouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
