Rafen IX Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Interesting idea, can you chivvy some points around to turn that extra priest into Corbulo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Bob Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I like the idea, since i love rhinos and i'm still not ready to let them go. True that as others have said our rhinos cost a lot, but assault squads greatly reduce that hurdle. Still doesn't do anything about the short range pistols and assault weapons, so is a though choice. Great way to deliver short/mid range fire support that would have issues keeping the pace with jumpers, without being suicidal like with a pod (which is a plus for me when i pay 300ish points for said fire support unit, say sternguard). All in all, i think i'd be watching this thread carefully, need to get those engines running again. As an aside, i don't think a Helldrake can vector strike and then shoot as Xenith said. Might have lost a faq or something but i remember vector strike counting as if the model already shot one weapon, and the drake has only one (feel free to correct me and/or bash me on this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Drake Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Heldrake can vector strike & use its baleflamer. Try going onto the CSM forums and arguing otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 @Xenith, Sadly dont see a really viable way of freeing up points for corbs and dont have the model ready either if I did.... Is he good for anything other then the 2+ FnP and single reroll though? I always wonder if his point costs is warranted by the buffs he gives out Corbulo is, in my opinion, the best costed, most valuable and most useful unit available to us. Next to Mephiston I think hes one of the units that i do not ever want to go into a competitive environment without. Hes solid in combat, great with buffs, and tanks like a monster. The reroll is just the cherry on the top. He's certainly nice, especially with all the Tau and Eldar creeping around lately, but where do you put him nowadays?

SamaNagol Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The fact you have to get out to score/assault makes the Fast rule on Rhinos and Razors far less attractive in 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 He's certainly nice, especially with all the Tau and Eldar creeping around lately, but where do you put him nowadays? Those are the very reasons I dislike being 'forced' to bring him. We don't really need Mephiston to beat Tau in CC and Eldar can easily kill him with rending/lances/D-weapon shooting. EDIT: Considering the mobility and reach of the top armies I think a storm raven is now a must have in a tournament list, if only to make sure Mephiston doesn't end up dead before he has the chance to do anything.

SamaNagol Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Surely Stormraven is now the only way to make sure Mephiston doesn't get Grav Gunned off the table before he does anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
