Galron Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 What do people use on their Hornets? I usually default to the Hornet Pulse lasers but with limited AT in both lists I am working on(and yes I know you can magnetize) I am tossing around the idea of dual brightlances. Pulse Lasers 48", h6, -3ap, d2 Bright lances 36", h1, -4ap, d6 I hear that weight of dice is more important and a pulse laser version is tossing out a lot of dice but only doing 2 damage. Eldar of both light and dark persuasions are certainly not lacking for s6 weapons which is why I am even considering the lances. What do you guys use? Assuming FW is allowed like it is in my meta.

Captain Coolpants Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I haven't used my hornets since their change/nerf on pulse lasers. (just haven't played the game not because of power gaming) But I actually feel its more useful to put duel shuriken cannons and vectored engines. When it advances thats -2 to hit with lightning assault (minus 3 if aliotic over 12") ..making for a really annoying harassment unit for 90pts. That can still chuck up 6 strength 6 shots.

Galron Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 That's actually a fairly decent point. I didn't even think of the lowly Shuriken cannons. Also drops their threat level by quite a bit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359097-hornet-load-outs/#findComment-5405680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Can Hornets move and shoot Heavy weapons without penalty? Krash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359097-hornet-load-outs/#findComment-5405837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Can Hornets move and shoot Heavy weapons without penalty? Krash no they can't. But can take crystal targeting to move and shoot the *closest* enemy unit at full BS.

Shadowseer Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 One thing to note is that they are 9 PL each. This has two implications: * overcosted in a PL game, especially with shuricannons * give up Big Game Hunter in ITC quite easily Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359097-hornet-load-outs/#findComment-5408158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galron Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Neither are a concern since I despise the static army lists of ITC and don't play with power levels :) I miss the days where the missions for a tournament were revealed when you got to the table.
