Midnightmare Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Quick question guys, Just much Flamestorm pain can this guy bring when deep struck? Can it fire any or both of the cannons? I don't have my rule book handy and am planning a list with this. Cheers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A vehicle that arrives by Deep Strike is said to have moved at Combat Speed, meaning it can fire one weapon at full BS. PotMS allows a vehicle to fire one more shot than normally allowed at full BS (and at a different target too). Ergo, we can fire both Flamestorm Cannons when we land, and then fire the rest as Snap Shots. (As an aside, consider getting the Legacy of Glory: Isstvaan V Dropsire Massacre to eliminate the chances of scatter. IAv2SE, page 244, costs four Melta Bombs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I had the Legacy of Glory used against me once before - took me completely by surprise, especially as it had a squad of Sternguard in a Pod with Corbs and a Libby casting invisibility every turn (I hate that power!!) - LoG is certainly something I will try myself in future :), but I will be relying on beacon's this time. Thanks for your quick reply, your a star, especially as it was exactly the answer that I was after. I had assumed on PoMS, but not the further normal BS shot. Also the snap shot TLAC and a cheeky Multimelta are nice. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 If you wish you can also disembark the unit inside up to 6" as normal and then fire on whatever with the passengers, just like a pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 While we're at it, if you elect to Tank Shock before you bring in the Land Raider with that Legacy of Glory, can you place it onto an enemy unit? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zynk Kaladin Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Midnight, bringing Christmas to the enemies of man. A simple 10 man RAS with 2 meltas in a redeemer could work as a turn 2 drop following turn 1 fragiosos. Two flamestorm cannons and 2 meltas/krak grenade/bolt pistols sounds pretty nice. Perhaps an added Corbulo to make the RAS more durable and powerful in assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Admetus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'd be hesitant on using it on a redeemer as you're taking one heck of a risk trying to get a flamestorm cannon that close, monstrous risk of mishaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remtek Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Could slap some locator beacons on the pods coming in on turn 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Guys, see posts two and five :) If your group doesn't allow you to use said Forgeworld book, either slap them with it or reach for your dreadsock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Admetus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not everyone has access to said book and equally not everyone wants to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Be a man, you've got a 33% chance to roll a hit and you could probably scatter several inches in some directions without a mishap :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
