m0nolith Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Leviathans are moot because the pod it comes in is a 2hp void shield with 5+ cover when it arrives anyway, plus a 4++ native but everything else is a great point! Especially the Storm eagles. Indeed! And one more point on that Storm Eagle. If you're going to be running tacticals in there, keep them as despoilers. You can FoTL with bolt pistols as well so there really is no reason to spend the extra 40 points equipping them with and extra CCW considering how up close and personal they'll be when they hit the ground. Not to mention the fact that our FW upgrades are rather nice looking, so It would be a shame to hide all those intricate chest pieces with a bolter in the way.

Slips Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I just want to point out that Destroyer Rad Missile Launchers are Ap3, not Ap2 Also, the Dreadpod a Leviathan Drops in gains shrouded and gives it to units being shot through it so it would, actually, stack with the 5+ Cover for arriving from Deepstrike with Day of Revelations. Also has 3HP, doesn't it? For Extra Cover Shenanigans: Take a Vigilator Consul who always has a Cameleoline (stealth) no matter what you give him. Take a Dread in a Dreadpod. Slap Vigilator to a squad thats arriving via deepstrike. (ie Jump Packs) Drop Dreadpod in front of said vigilator-accompanied squad for 5+ Cover + Stealth + Shrouded on the turn they arrive (so long as they're being shot through the Dreadpod) 2+ Cover in the open when you arrive. Huzzah! Bonus Points for the Vigilator: He can take a Blade of Perdition, iirc, and has Sniper and a Bolter with Special Issue Ammunition; one of which is a Rapid Fire Small Blast (9" Rapid Fire Range though).

Charlo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Can't wait for Book 8 (hopefully)! Honestly considering saving the Destroyers I got my DG for Day of revelation :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've always wanted some Destroyers, and the DoR rite just made me want them even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nolith Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I really, REALLY hope that destroyers get a price reduction with the new red book. They're fantastic, but way too expensive for what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think the trick is to just not go for the rad missiles or an obscenely large unit. With BA they form a wondeful support role of a shooty jump pack unit. That can deal massive damage and supplement assaults with rad nades. Also inferno pistol Moritat. We don't mention hand flamer ones because then you lose friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
