irwit Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hi all Thinking of entering a tournament where you can include 1 forgeworld unit with no structure points. What do you think I should go for? I quite like the look of the flyer with the twin linked punisher gatling canon? Should be able to take out flyers and troops and make a nusence of itself. Anything else I am missing?

Ammonius Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I think the answer to your question might be "Sabre Defense Platform". However, I think the cooler answer would be to bring a Griffon/ Medusa/ Colossus and flip the bird at those people who try to limit things "because they are from Forge World". Good luck with the tourney, whatever you chose! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289788-best-forgeworld-unit-outside-apocolypse/#findComment-3657288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Na, Hydra platform is where it's at. Better armor, gains interceptor, and cheaper than the codex version to boot!

cypherthefallenangel Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The Vulture gunship is awesome. I just got one recently and wow what huge blocks of exquisitely detailed resin. Great choice but in a turni setting it will need an escort or 2 so it doesn't get blown out of the sky as soon as it comes in to play.

irwit Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Where are the latest rules found for each unit, particularly these saber platforms. Also what weapon on the platforms do you think is best?

hendrik Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 IA aeronautica has everything flyer related, but they are also described in IA volume 1, second edition, which is the best book out of those two imo. I've build my sabre platforms with twin linked autocannons, coming in at 40 pts per platform. i think of them as slightly more expensive autocannon heavy weapon teams that actually can recieve some hits before dying, and are much more accurate!

Honda Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Count me for the Vulture with twin-linked Punisher cannons. Just love those guys. Most of the time I feel "dirty" bringing them on the table (I play Elysians), but I get over it pretty quick. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289788-best-forgeworld-unit-outside-apocolypse/#findComment-3658240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead01 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thunderbolt squadron. that may or may not be available ... but that 12 Hellstrike missiles 6 twin autocannons and 3 twin lascannons if you take 3 of them! I think it can be added as a heavy support.
