Ishagu Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Tank seems pretty cheap in all honesty, and I think it would work great in a Cadian detachment. I'm thinking of running one alongside a Shadowsword equipped with the maximum number of Lascannons and Heavy Bolters.

Chris521 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Well, this may be the only FW tank that is worth something until the FAQs roll around( there could be 1 or 2 others that I'm forgetting about, but the point stands) simply because it already has a very similar rule to grinding advance built into it, making it heavy 30. It was kind of strange that this model retained that rule while the Stormlord did not. imo, if FW wanted to do this right, they would change the weapon profile to always be heavy 15, and give it the updated grinding advance, along with the other Macharius and Malcadors Edited October 18, 2017 by Chris521 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340552-peoples-thoughts-on-the-macharius-vulcan/#findComment-4912154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Da ting goes skrrrrap pap pap pap and lots of things die. Really nice for mowing down two wound Infantry. Would work great with Vostroyans for BS3+ Halfpint100, Steel Company, Dagoth Ur and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340552-peoples-thoughts-on-the-macharius-vulcan/#findComment-4912161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword_Brother Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I've got one (In my avatar) and I absolutely love the damn thing. Stick it next to anything with a re-roll bubble and watch the Marines/Terminators/Bikers Melt like butter. With two rounds of shooting I've had it kill 7 bikers and 10 Terminators (With stormshields). Stick it next to a Trojan to have it re-roll all those failed hits if you really fancy some rotary cannon goodness. Ishagu, Halfpint100, Khornestar and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340552-peoples-thoughts-on-the-macharius-vulcan/#findComment-4912336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yes it is. Love mine, though it doesn't get out to play much: Halfpint100, Ishagu, Sword_Brother and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340552-peoples-thoughts-on-the-macharius-vulcan/#findComment-4912373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Ok, Astra Militarum are pretty crazy. You can literally build armies with no struggle to fit the units you want. You may have seen the list I drew up over in the Army review section. I'll be running two of these tanks in support of a Shadowsword. Whilst I love the Leman Russ it doesn't have the same visual impact. I want the giant tanks that literally Dwarf the men surrounding them :-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340552-peoples-thoughts-on-the-macharius-vulcan/#findComment-4912762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I really gotta build mine. The beautiful tanks in this thread are a serious inspiration!

Guardsman Bob Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Ok, Astra Militarum are pretty crazy. You can literally build armies with no struggle to fit the units you want.Amen to that. I’m still fairly hook on the whole Brigade Detachment thing. Trying to lighten up and using a Battalion and some other one-pointers is proving a mental challenge.
