SnakeChisler Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Just wondering how others are getting on with this I'm into my 6/7 th battle with it so far its spawned 3 Vortexes, on all but 1 occasion has made up its points. Its swallowed a Ghost Ark whole and had a Tau opponent going mental trying to shoot it with interceptor & having to cope with it swanning in with a 3+ double jink on occasions so it swallowed a lot of his fire Funnily enough the threat of it is pretty useful against Tau who waste Interceptor shots at it making it jink and the wings being angled low makes it easy to stay within 6" of the shroud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith776 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I had a pretty lucky shot with a vortex taking out Abaddon after he killed my command squad. Rolled a six and he took 9 wounds after failing his invuln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurieus Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Only used it once so far, it spawned a vortex on the first shot that killed a squad of eldar guardian and a wave serpent, and killed a squad of dire avengers with it's canon. I was pretty pleased with it, and it's fun to finally use my model :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Not had a vortex yet but S10 AP2 does just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solrac Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Next league at my local starts in a few weeks and I put one in my list, let you know how it goes. On the measuring for Darkshroud thing I'm pretty sure in the BRB it states for flyers you measure everything from it's base not the actual model (e.g buffs, weapon ranges etc).

Elios Harg Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That is incorrect. Flyers measure to the actual hull of the model for almost everything. The base only counts for embarking/disembarking, assaults (when hovering) and being with 1" of enemy models. In fact models can walk on/over the base of a flyer.

ValourousHeart Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That is incorrect. Flyers measure to the actual hull of the model for almost everything. The base only counts for embarking/disembarking, assaults (when hovering) and being with 1" of enemy models. In fact models can walk on/over the base of a flyer. I thought that models could stand under the wings, and that friendly units could ignore the flyer's base for movement purposes. But there is a rule that no model end its move on top of another model, and I didn't think that the flyer rules changed that. The movie example is that the action hero can jump out a window onto a car then jump through the window of the other building. But in 40k you can't leave the second floor of one ruin, run across the top of a Rhino and end up on the second floor of the next ruin. Instead you have to go down to the table level, run around the Rhino, into the next ruin, and then back up to the second floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigshead Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 My first game with it my opponent brought 3 bloodthirsters, I vortexed one of them, so I was a happy pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhands Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Vortex has done lots of damage for me and the dark talon is almost a must take. As for effects on flyers we only give it if it goes into hover mode. The thing is meant to be flying over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
