marvmoogy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Morning! I am in need of the advice of my Ancients. Mrs Marvmoogy has said I have have a superheavy for my birthday (yup, she's a gudden) so, after much thought and debate, I have decided that it will come and live with my Space Wolves army. I have narrowed the choice down to 3 tanks - a Fellblade, a Cerebus or a Typhon. This is because my army is very CC-orientated and the only heavy weapons I have are 2 LCs on razorbacks, 4 MLs on Long Fangs and whatever my Stormwolf ends up with..... so I think I need some extra dakka in there. Now, having looked through IA, all of these can run with my army in the land of 40k, but I am stumped as for which on to go for. So...what should I get and why? Cheers!

Frater Cornelius Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you want looks, Fellblade looks amazing with a solid performance to boot. If you want performance in an Apoc game, you want Cerberus. If you want performance in a regular 40k game, you want Typhon. Looks: Fellblade > Cerberus > Typhon Performance Apoc: Cerberus > Fellblade > Typhon Performance 40k: Typhon > Fellblade > Cerberus My pick would be Fellblade. Solid performance and awesome center-piece of the army.

Donkalleone Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 With CC oriented you mean TWC i guess. My personal Favorite is the Fellblade. He has by far the most Weapons on him and im kinda against spending 350+ points on something that i can ignore since its a single shot. Its the most costly thought. the Typhon is great against big blobs in the First round and is easely selfbuild with a LR and the BIg Momma Cannon from puppetsofwar. Both are Blast Weapon Choices which might conflict with the CC heavy style. Im no fan of the Cerebus since ,again, its a single weapon with no blast and its only good against other super heavys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303687-superheavy-reinforcements/#findComment-3955893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Typhon is capable of destroying ANY unit in 40k. It is almost impossible to miss with that blast and the fact that it ignores cover and thus eats xenos skimmers alive is huge. Having said that, Fellblade is more durable and has more weapon options, which are all inferior to the Typhon shot, but more versatile. Still, get the Fellblade. As mentioned above, you can easily build your own Typhon with a regular Land Raider and the big momma cannon.

DanPesci Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In the wonderful world of 40k pageantry, the Fellblade has won 'Miss Apocalypse' 4 years running. It is one sexy tank. so id go for that. Its a really good all round super heavy that will deal with most things well other than other super heavies (unless you get very lucky on the damage table). On the table, the typhon may perform better (and a 48" mega demolisher is just hilarious) but its easily converted as mentioned.

Frater Cornelius Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It is a bit wider than a LR. Think the step from Rhino to Vindicator. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303687-superheavy-reinforcements/#findComment-3956128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skallagoose Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Stating Bias; i own a fell blade i hope to get done by the end of spring. That said, with your complaint with lack of hardcore ranged fire i would go with a fell blade- 2 laser destroyers OR 4 lascannons, a demolisher cannon, and the heavy turret on top (being twin linked) gives a lot of fire. For bare bones being about 350 (don't have the book open right now), its a fair investment and sure to get you points back (minus friends). A typhon is more playable, as it costs just 100 more then a land raider. The weapon on it is powerful enough to make any enemy make it a priority, and putting cremate armor on it makes it nearly unkillable against some armies. Its what you think would fit your army, and your budget. If you want to build a typhon out of a land raider kit, i don't think many people will stop you until you get to the tournament scene- and even then it has more to do with how well you built it.

Vash113 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 As others have said I'd recommend the Fellblade. Simply the Typhon and Cerberus are super-heavies, but not by much, the Fellblade is a true Baneblade chasis type Super-Heavy with the guns to match.

Ishagu Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Fellblade is most fun on the tabletop hands down. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303687-superheavy-reinforcements/#findComment-3957103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
