CrimsonFists333 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If you are using the escort rule, what do you usually escort and how has it worked for you? I hear storm raven a lot and that seems great but has anybody found anything else that works well or makes sense on paper?

Azash Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Nothing most of the time as I tend to take storm talons in pairs and don't normally reserve anything else out. When I run a storm raven I will escort it with a talon...to me that is a must.

infornography Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Storm Eagle, Fire Raptor, other storm talons... that is pretty much it.

Molokai Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 A storm talon can't escort another stormtalon Infornography. Unless using the new formation.

Azash Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The restrictions on the escort rule really cut out some nice combos (I.e. outflanking LSS). Although its worth escorting anything you have in reserve just to insure everything comes in on one roll. I guess that's to game imbalancing...nothing like twin D weapons. I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

Molokai Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I agree Azash. A pair of talons escorting a pair of outflanking storms would be sweet... But alas, it won't happen.

Scout Mentor Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I never choose the Storm Talon to use the escort ability. It is just a nice to have. But, when things are crazy and I have my scouting units outflanking instead of infiltrating I use the escort "feature" to roll less reserve dice. It usually escorts a Scout squad in a LSS or a group of Scout Bikes.
