Montuhotep Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Simple enough question. I have a Stormraven (lascannon, multi-melta, missiles) and a pair of Stormtalons (both assault cannon/skyhammer) which I usually field as separate units. Not wishing to delve into matters of rules and so forth, since I have been pondering buying the Stormwing Dataslate, is the formation worth it to do so and what Force Org slot does it fill?

Ishagu Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Stormwing rules allow you to equip them how you please but you have to take all 3. You can't use the Raven as a transport but it gains Strafing Run rule as long as a Talon is also on the table. Also this way they don't take up ANY slots in you F.O.C. Basically, don't bother unless your Imperial Army doesn't normally have Access to these flyers...

netminder69 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You can't use the Raven as a transport but it gains Strafing Run rule as long as a Talon is also on the table. Not true. Under the Independent Formation rule for the Stormwing it specifically says C:SM troops from the same army can start embarked or embark during the game.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 What netminder69 said. I also asked a rule question about it in the ++OR++ and the consensus was that it's currently the only way to break the 'battle-brothers in transports' limitation (assuming the battle-brothers in question are all from Codex: Space Marines).

Butters Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 its very worth taking. at no upgrades its 400pts I believe to field 4 heavy bolters 2 twin linked assault cannons 4 super missiles and your choice of TL- plasma, assualt, or las.

SyNidus Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I always use the formation and all i can say is I love it and what i love most about it...It's not the fact that I get to keep more of my army in reserve on a single roll; Nor is it the fact that they pump out enough shots to level multiple "Hard Targets"; but to physically watch the expression of despair scrawl across my opponent's face like bad grafitti on a toilet stall wall...That my, dear friend, is what makes the Stormwing Formation worth it.

Brother Casman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I used the Stormwing formation for the first time last week against a friend's Armored Company list, tooled up for tank hunting. I dominated the skies - dropping off a squad of marines on his objective won me the game. Love the formation and I'll definitely be using it more often.

Ishagu Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I stand corrected on using the formation for transport. Boy do I feel silly :-( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288279-stormwing/#findComment-3633379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
