Guardsman Bob Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 FW units still use FW rules and stats until they FAQ them to use standard codex stats. Therefore the Vulture's rocket pods are still heavies. It does look pretty dang cool with 4 pods on it though.Does FW do any sort of regular FAQ updates? If Chapter Approved ressurects for Christmas we might get some sweeping game reform in there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero88 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Does a Valk carry one or two hellstrike missiles? It doesn't specify on the entry, which would lead to believe RAW it's just one, but common sense/RAI would say it's two since that's what's modeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weapon is plural and it has one set which does one shot. It is weird, but i suppose both of the rockets hitting does the high damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero88 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 So in game turns the pair of missiles equal one 'Heavy 1'... Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'd disagree that hellstrike missiles are one shot. It doesn't say in the profile for hellstrike missiles (either in the Valkyrie profile or in the back of the book) that they are one shot. Look at the Manticore sky eagle rockets, deathstrike rockets and hunter killer missiles, they all clearly state in their profile each can only be fired once.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I don't think anyone is suggesting that they are one use, just that they are heavy 1 for the pair of missiles rather than heavy 1 per missile.

zero88 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yeah they clearly are NOT one use only anymore, it's just odd wording Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yep. They have 1 helstrike missiles, weapon profile for helstrike missiles is heavy 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Sorry if what I said sounded like I was saying one use. Heavy 1 would have been a better thing to say. You can fire them every round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if those weren’t crushing wins it in no way diminishes your achievement. How did those missile launcher play out for you? It’s hard to break out of the LC/HB only mindset after so many years where those were The min/max options. With how terrible the multilaser is however I find myself suddenly opening up to alternatives for my dusty sentinels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They where the mvp of the list to tell you the truth everyone just ignored them they just sat on a flank firing missiles at stuff The funny thing is I tabled 4 of my five opponents only got to the end f turn 2 in my minor win (but that's a long story ) Guardsman Bob and Halfpint100 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
