Grav Cannons as Effective Anti Armor

[Azash]

Since Grav Cannons auto pen on a 6 and the grav amp allows rerolls what do u think of them as an armor buster? I think they may actually work well since they are auto pens. Out of the average 10 hits with rerolls to penetrate you have to figure on getting two or three 6`s. Three rolls on the pen table is pretty good odds of popping anything outright in one round also three pens and most stuff is glanced to death already.

 

Think some already fragile Land Raiders got a bit less reliable. Think its more of a threat to heavier armor which makes sense. Just as a thought they would make great ghost ark killers.

You don't roll on the damage table, you cause an automatic immobilised result and take a hull point, and then just further hull points after, but you should get enough 6's to kill most tanks in one round I would have thought

I see it as being specifically good against things like land raiders and monoliths since they don't care WHAT the AV is.  They just cause hull points to go away on 6's with rerolls.

Yeah ditto, I wouldn't use them against chimeras or rhinos unless there were absolutely no other prospective targets

I used them in a game yesterday.

My bikers took 2 hps off a landraider and immobilised it. I stayed at max range of 18.

 

Termies came out, I killed 3 of them after they shot at my bikers...

 

Overall the unit made more than it's points worth!
