Stormraven

Is it worth taking twin Lascannons on a Stormraven ?

[Damo1701]

Yes.

 

You can 1-shot most vehicles with a Raven with twin Las. I've done it a couple of times when I've taken one of mine.

The same goes for Razorbacks and various other tanks. That isn't unique to the Raven. I guess it depends what other guns you have. If you lack anti-tank, sure. If you lack anti-infantry, take the Twin AC.

Anti-Infantry does not seem to be much of a problem with a Landraider Crusader, Centurions (HB & Hurricane Bolters) and the Hurricane Bolters on the Storm Raven.

 

Thought I had the Anti-Vehicle sorted with 2 Dreads both with 2 Auto-cannons, a squad of Hell Blasters, and an Ironclad dropping from the Stormraven, but it seems to take too long to take out the 2nd or 3rd vehicle.

 

I think I may just have been unlucky in my last few games.

A Stromraven has PotMS, which makes it better at delivery whilst shooting than an RB. Nothing is more frustrating than having your shots from the RB's miss because you roll a 3.

Since it's Hurricane bolters don't exclude anything a, it's a great platform to have both AT an AI on, especially since you want it to get up close to drop it's payload anyway, making sure it's in rapid fire range, and split firing it's other weapons.

 

Point is: if you lack AT, it'll do better than RB's. Give the assault cannon to RB's, it has more shots, meaning a single miss won't matter as much when you're unlucky.
