badgermeister Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've noticed that the lucky folks that have the massacre books seem to be using the Gal Vorbak/Argel Tal 400pt units as elite choices on their web published army lists and wondered what your thoughts were on its value in comparison to other units available? I dont have my hands on the book yet but i will by mid next week. For 405 pts the Admech get 9 x thallax cohort including 3 x phase plasma fusil - which on paper to me seems a lot better and considering its a troop choice even better. Thallax arent going to beat the fluff factor but dont the WB have far better options?

Kais Klip Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm surprised the Vorbak don't have any fancy random weapon rolls, given those daemonic talons etc Just being armed with C&C weapons seems a bit restrained.

The web-published lists obviously want a Gal Vorbak list. Ergo, Gal Vorbak.

Scribe Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Gal Vorbak being Daemons, can get a 3++ however with very little effort.... They can be pretty deadly.

They all have Rending standard. And the Rending still applies when using any melee weapons.
