Angelus Mortifer Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Couldn't see if this was mentioned previously but Forgeworld released the IA2 Errata, and confirmed that BAs can also take the Fire Raptor. On my phone so can't do the link if someone else could oblige? The free Autocannon upgrade was also included in the Errata. Looks like an expensive Jan coming my way :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284795-confirmed-blood-angels-get-the-fire-raptor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Since you asked (although he link has been posted in multiple threads already, I guess not everyone looks at Amicus first when they visit the board :) ) http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/i/IA2faq.pdf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284795-confirmed-blood-angels-get-the-fire-raptor/#findComment-3551547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well, I certainly hope we get it too, after all I already painted one! http://s14.directupload.net/images/131222/qc4sj9fi.jpg Also, the quad bolters are way more awesome than the autocannons^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284795-confirmed-blood-angels-get-the-fire-raptor/#findComment-3551612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Very nice Ush, going to have to ask for a few more photo's please - that looks great!! Also, how'd you paint the cockpit?

Ushtarador Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Sure thing! The cockpit is airbrushed and varnished I actually messed up a bit as it was the first time I used an airbrush, and accidentally "blew" away some layers of paint during the process, now the surface isn't completely smooth anymore as you can see :/ Luckily, it's not visible from most angles. http://s1.directupload.net/images/131223/temp/hgcewikx.png http://s14.directupload.net/images/131223/temp/avwh4rph.png http://s14.directupload.net/images/131223/temp/gpwcepeg.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284795-confirmed-blood-angels-get-the-fire-raptor/#findComment-3552348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calnus Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hows that been working for you in games? I'm really interested in it as a kind of flying Baal Predator, for taking out infantry like a champ.

Ushtarador Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I only played him once, and it got shot down after only one round of shooting by a very very lucky autocannon :( But it's awesome - the damage output is crazy. The main gun reliably puts 6 AP 3 wounds on infantry, the sponsons add 12 heavy bolter hits, and last but not least you get a S8 ordnance missile. Everything hits on 2s thanks to Strafing Run and you can force pinning tests on up to four different units!

Calnus Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Wait, you can pin 4 units? How? Even with sponsons operating independently, isn't that only 3? And reliably putting 6 wounds down at AP3 is nothing to sneeze at. That's as good or better than a Heldrake, if your opponent is spread out and doesn't have cover.

Midnightmare Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Very nice work Ushtarador; now I really, really want me one. The rules look pretty good too, in fairness so I best get saving (just started spending £££ on CSM, doh!)

Since we're awesome loyalists, we get the machine spirit ;) dirty heretics can only target 3 different units though. The main gun tears through everything without a 2+ save, it's really crazy. Also, it's one of the prettiest models out there in my opinion, definitely worth the money :) @Midnight Runner If you paint it ambiguosly enough, you can use it for both loyalist and heretic armies ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284795-confirmed-blood-angels-get-the-fire-raptor/#findComment-3553526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
