depthcharge12 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hey I was considering looking at a Falchion since they look pretty cool and I'm lacking in ranged D weaponry (don't have the funds for a Titan). What are your experiences with it? Does it perform well? Does it die to a hail of fire the first turn? What are some pros and cons?

Moonstalker Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think its niche is better defined now that it looks like Titans are getting haywire immunity. This limits the Glaive (and its steady anti-SHV damage output though multiple haywire hits) to picking on lesser superheavies. If you've got a titan, battle automata, or a primarch that needs killing, the Falchion might be the solution. Edit: It may or may not be any good at killing primarchs or titans in a points/damage comparison, just point out that they've carved out some more differentiation between the glaive and the falchion, and that D weapons are generally good against high T multi-wound models (like Primarchs and battle automata).

Ishagu Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think it's brilliant. It's a focused Super Heavy that can dish out the pain, especially with the Quad Las Cannons alongside the Volcano Cannon. I feel that in Heresy gaming it's really easy to bring massive amounts of anti infantry Firepower, so a dedicated Tank to deal with armour and occasionally tough/elite units is not a waste. Also it looks fantastic! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308449-falchiongood-bad-ugly/#findComment-4076141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak1508 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I also find it very appealing that every single weapon shot is twin-linked, which increases your chance of hitting the target with it. And won't deny the fact that I just love the looks of the model! It will more likely be the first HH superheavy I might purchase, the 2nd being Glaive of course Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308449-falchiongood-bad-ugly/#findComment-4077584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I would definitely use one ahead of a Fellblade, but unfortunately my LoW is spoken for :-( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308449-falchiongood-bad-ugly/#findComment-4077603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And onslaught as well - true, but I asume that most people would play standard one unless of course you agree with them about playing these special alternative charts. In a Leviathan you could have Perturabo with his Shadowsword pet, 2x Typhons as single LoW choice and a Fellblade as the third one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308449-falchiongood-bad-ugly/#findComment-4077858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
