Emperor's Furor Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Is anyone else annoyed that they look so cool but they are really pretty bad stat wise? I don't see the point of them if I'm being honest, if they had some form of forced pinning check due to the amount of shots they fired then fine, but right now they are less useful than a heavy bolter and that's something not easily achieved.

helterskelter Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 So from this I assume they be ap 5 str 5 at best with 2 shots ( sorry don't have rules yet) if so they seem largely pointless Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290238-rotor-cannons/#findComment-3666125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Wait till the imperial army come out, ;) Actually through sheer weight of dice I think they could be pretty effective. I certainly plan on taking some. Nope, they're salvo 3/5, strength of a las gun. With an ap to match (I think) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290238-rotor-cannons/#findComment-3666126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way they need 6s to even hurt a normal Iron Hands marine.

TheForgottenAngel Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah if their str was even just +1 more they would be a decent choice due to weight of fire Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290238-rotor-cannons/#findComment-3666131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yes, it does sadden me that they are so bad comparably. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290238-rotor-cannons/#findComment-3666138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Maybe they're updated alongside the MoS Would +1 BS help? I'd love a 10 man squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290238-rotor-cannons/#findComment-3666140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 They are honestly one of my favorite weapons in the looks department. Hopefully they get a slight buff. If they removed the salvo rules that would also make them SO much better.

AGPO Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I can see them being useful when other armies come out. Against daemons, cultists and Imperial Army I can see a squad putting out fifty shots as being decidedly useful.
