Theredknight Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Out of the two, which would you prefer to use and why, warhound or thunderhawk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 i choosed a Warhound (and a Reaver) - a Thunderhawk is too big for the game imo - also, you can use your Titan alongside every Imperial army (Guard, Marines, Mechanicum, HH and 40k), the Thunderhawk just for one Chapter/Legion :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Something has always called me to walking engines of destruction, the points values are similar, and I think I'm heresy the get an extra void shield over the 40k version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The Heresy version does get an extra Void Shield, but it pays 30 pts for it over the 40K version. The Warhound would be picked above the Thunderhawk in nearly every poll I think you will find, it is simply a much more versatile unit, more points efficient and the Thunderhawk is just so difficult to use on a smaller, non apocalypse table.

depthcharge12 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thunderhawks get schreked by Deredeos now. I'd definitely take a Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 A thunderhawk can only ever have one D Slapper. Sure, its airborne but compared to a Warhounds potential 2 and Starting on the Board turn 1? Yeah I'd take a Warhound over a Thunderhawk. Unless it was Aetos Dios, aka Dorns Pimpmobile since its Cheaper AND better than an equivalently equipped Thunderhawk and it doesn't take up a LoW slot since its a Dedicated Transport for Dorn.

ThatOneMarshal Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 you don't need as much to help it as much as the thunderhawk. If you are running a thunder hawk you are going to want others flyers so that the thunderhawk is plucked from the skies. With the war hound all you need is meat shields I mean bubble wrap :). Also chicks dig the warhound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Having seen both in person and owning a warhound, Definitely a warhound, that bad boy has some serious intimidation factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdemayo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Whichever one you think looks cooler. Both are ridiculously big and expensive for any but the hugest game, so the game play is mostly just a novelty feature of your centerpiece model.

Raktra Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Warhounds can actually teabag your opponent. Always remember this as a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It´s not only rule wise what you should keep in mind. A T-Hawk is huge and as a flier it needs to move. It could be hard to place it on the table, specially in larger games with multiple Players on each side. The Titan don´t need necessarily to move. What makes the Titan easier to handle on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Warhounds get Multiple D weapons. No competition. Thunderhawk also loses Jink, and can't carry multiple squads IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theredknight Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hmm it's a lucius that I like, it's now oop? I'm the world of warhounds, there can be only one I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well, spoke to fw, as of 2 weeks ago they have officially stopped producing and selling the lucius. On account of the Mars selling on a ratio of 8:1 lucius. As they now have more limited storage room (there's been a lot of new things out last 2 years) lines are being struck off if not productive. Sensible I suppose but always sad to see one go. Don't be surprised to see other less well selling lines streamlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already been happening, hence the removal of the Kroot lines, the Orca, a fair bit of WFB stuff, and so on. In my opinion, they need a larger storage space.

When did it lose the ability to carry multiple squads? Seems incredibly stupid considering you can't get squads of 30 marines in one squad.

Hesh Kadesh Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 They can. Might be misremembering this, do you have a rough area? I'm using the ebook so no page number but a rough idea would be nice. I might be misremembering and it prevent things like bikes, jump infantry etc. There is something about the transport of a THawk which doesn't work as intended.

I believe that for every disembarkation point the T hawk has, that's the number of squads it can take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
