The Ironic Warrior Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey everybody Deciding on next purchase to go with my Sons of Horus army in the not-too-distant-future and I'm torn between the Cerberus and the Falchion. Does anyone have experience with (or against) either of these beauties and any recommendations? BTW: Our gaming group is using the 30k version of the D strength so bear that in mind when giving feedback Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disease Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've never seen a real cerberus. Falchion appears to be more popular, but maybe because it looks awesome. played against an iron hands falchion, killed two knights in two turns.

IronDrake28 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 'Giving feedback'. HEH. I see what you did there. ;) I've faced a Cerberus a couple of times, and it killed anything it touched. Though only having 6 hullpoints meant it wasn't too hard to chew through. I've heard good things about the Falchion with it's new upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'nuff said I LOVE the look of the Falchion....it just looks like a Tank Destroyer. But I must say I do like the fact the Cerberus comes with a Flare Shield! I'd imagine that thing's a pain to get rid of (Plus it's smaller and easier to hide) but the Falchion just looks so damn nice! That's pretty insane it killed 2 in as many turns, was that with 30k D or BrB D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarkaira Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I would say Falchion since you can always add Neutron Wave Capacitor to Falchion in order to get same effect as Cerberus. Also Shadowsword is a good option if you want Volcano Cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Falchion, definitely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ironic Warrior Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 'Giving feedback'. HEH. I see what you did there. I'd love to say that was intentional, but I spotted it after I wrote it - entirely by accident but I'll take credit all the same I would say Falchion since you can always add Neutron Wave Capacitor to Falchion in order to get same effect as Cerberus. Also Shadowsword is a good option if you want Volcano Cannon. I like the idea of the Volcano Cannon - it just smacks me as being more a "I want that armour gone now" weapon. Plus the fact you can add the Shock Pulse and Feedback rule means it does the same job just better! Falchion, definitely! Well I think that's my mind made up then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen11 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 If cerberus had rules similar to laser vindicator, meaning he shoots 3 times if standing still, I could see the potential, but with d3 shots that still have to hit, it's way to random. Never saw any point in taking this tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw any point in taking this tank... I'm firmly in the Typhon/Stormsword crowd but if I was going for a pure hard target deletion tank I'd go with the Falchion. With hot dice it can one shot nearly anything in the game currently short of a Reaver or Warlord. If your group is using the 30k D chart it is no contest.

Lord Blackwood Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I own a Falchion but not a Cerberus , I think the Falchion is the better tank killer , while still have significant melee clearing ability , the quad las cannons on the falchion also perform well in dealing with additional threats , or further killing the thing its dealing with. It is easier to remove , but its got a bit more punch. If the Cerberus is ever upgraded to fire in the same manner as the vindicator laser destroyer , then it may be the better choice , but with the falchion you are always just 1 6 on the chart from ruining someones entire day , and it gets through the flare shield of spartans pretty easily.
