Riddlesworth Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Is anyone using a Stormhawk with much success? With the las talon and typhoons its hitting flyers on 3s and ground targets on 4s. Seems to be a nice balance, duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339580-stormhawk-interceptor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Gneecapper Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think general consensus is that the Stormtalon just outshines it, I could be wrong on that but that is what I found from personal use.

Waking Dreamer Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 How many points is a stormhawk with that load out? I may might try it using my Xiphon as a count as, since it also has lascannons and missiles modelled on.

Danarc Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Xyphon is absolutely better, but it is no more a GK entry unfortunately. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339580-stormhawk-interceptor/#findComment-4890812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The Hawk and Talon are both great flyers, but definitely have different roles! I need to paint up my Hawk but I do its versatility as you mentioned.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just get a Raven. Stormhawk suffers from being overspecialised, its pretty good at killing enemy Flyers but sucks against anything else. Stormtalon just isn't cheap enough, you can get better firepower and utility out of a Raven.

Frater Cornelius Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hawk suffers from the lack of Strafing Run or Maschine Spirit. Hitting on a 4+ is not good enough.

jeffersonian000 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Well, they do hit jump infantry on a 2+. : ) SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339580-stormhawk-interceptor/#findComment-4898218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Only a 3+, because you still go down by 1 for moving and firing (Hawks can't Hover mode, and all their weapons are Heavy).

Enxos Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Most of the weapons have +1 against fly, and the intercept rule also gives it another +1. So even with -1 move for the heavy weapon type it is still shooting with 2+ against anything with the Fly keyword, so long as it hasn't lost any hull points, if I am correct.
