Theredknight Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 As the title suggests. Would you use one in your army? Rules wise they seem pretty strong, 2 void shields that can project out, and invulnerable 5+ save. The points cost trail it a couple of hundred behind a reaver, also cash wise. So what would you better off using? Is it a rule of cool thing? What are your thoughts? What Advantages/disadvantages do you think?

heshman Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Any word on the cash? I have to think for 100 points less you must be better off with a warhound.

Xwingt65 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Worth the cash? Unless i win the lottery, then a 7-800£ model is out of my reach. It is just too much money to spend on one model...

Theredknight Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 I thought it was priced for about £500/600!

Ishagu Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 It's very powerful. You could only play it at 4k or so games... Not exactly practical Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319077-the-sokar-pattern-stormbird-worth-the-points-and-cash/#findComment-4302152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 No! I had a job supporting up a thunder hawk, this thing looks a bit bigger and more resin, you'd have to double up on the supports I think. I think within my group, we have started to play 3500 or 4K as standard to get 'big toys' in. For its uses, I could see it dropping off a primarch, bodyguard and some contemptor ancients loyal to thei primarch.

Fire Golem Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I thought it was priced for about £500/600! It's not priced yet I don't think, so any prices are guesses.

Athrawes Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 i will be getting one. The tough choice is whether i want to paint it for my Lightning Bearers or my Thousand Sons.

Theredknight Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes it is tricky, it's not like a Titan that's interchangeable with legions.. I have the choice of emperors children, blood Angels or thousand sons at the moment. (Eventually) as those are the ones I'd like to do. The number there was banded about after the weekender, it's guess work really Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319077-the-sokar-pattern-stormbird-worth-the-points-and-cash/#findComment-4302263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah, when asked about price, the staff at the weekender kept saying that the Warlord weighs 7.5 kg, and the stormbird weighs 5 kg, so basically they are implying somewhere in the ballpark of 2/3 the cost of a Warlord Titan. That seems a bit excessive/exaggeration to me at least. Considering the model isn't twice as big as a standard Thunderhawk, I'd say somewhere between the Thunderhawks 426 pounds and 826 seems like a good bet.

DietOfLiquor Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm definitely going to get one. Seems fun. Makes a great center piece if you get the tile.
