Slips Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Your list would still have to be large enough to abide by the 25% LoW Limit present in 30k. And since the Stormbird with D bombardments is over 1k points, thats a Minimum of 4k.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Has Games Workshop or Forge World made Stormbird models and/or rules available? I've yet to see any models that are NOT scratch-built, or rules that are NOT written by fans such as myself.

Book 5 Tempest has the Rules.  And the model thats going to be on limited sale at Warhammer Fest:  http://www.spikeybits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/blogger-image-176366171.jpg  Of note is that this is the Sokar-Pattern known as one of the more Recent Designs and Much Smaller than other Patterns.

noigrim Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Much Smaller if it was bigger it would bend the table! Â it can carry one rhino plus one unit of up to 40 space right?

Slips Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Rhino Takes up 12 Spaces but can be fully loaded with 10 Marines. Â Otherwise, it has Transport Capacity 50 and can carry Jump Infantry (2 slots), Bikes (3 Slots) and Dreadnoughts (10), iirc.

GreyCrow Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @the OP : It really depends on your list. Can it take a punch ? You have to remember that you might have to whether 2 rounds of shooting before the Stormbird comes, at the points level that allow it to come on. If you have enough attrition, go for it !

Galron Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 After playing a 4k game the other day even with a good amount of it in reserve, he should be able to have the models for attrition. He really only has to weather one turn of shooting since the tabling thing happens at the end of the game turn not player turn. But if he fails that reserve roll.... better hope you got more stuff coming in.

GreyCrow Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 2000 Points of Tacticals and Elites, along with 1000 more points in tanks and fire support to force the opponent to split fire should indeed do the trick !

Slips Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have to ask but, what would be the point of the Stormbird at that point if you're not using its transport capacity?
