Leviathan for CSM

[bozo69pd]

What are the rules for taking a leviathan in CSM now? Have they been very successful? Which legions can take them? Can they take dual butcher cannons?

As far I can see, they can take, storm cannons, grav-flux bombards, or melta-lances. They cost an extra cp to bring to a 40k game, plus the points cost. That is why I have changed my mind taking them, as the cp are to few these days in my meta that only play with the Nephelim rules.

I’ve played a few games with some - one with pure close combat and heavy flamers, one with storm cannon and close combat weapon. They perform surprisingly well imo, although they are fairly expensive as said above.

you do have to be considerate with placement, as they’re big units, but they provide dangerous distractions which can allow your other units to get into place, and if left unchecked, can solo multiple units.

I had one kill a full squad of eldar guardians in one turn, get charged by shining spears and Overwatch them into oblivion with the flamers and meltas. My opponent was not beat pleased.

I think this late in the edition they are overshadowed by quite a bit of other stuff, and the cp requirement is too steep for what they are/do. 
 

If they just cost points I think they’d be pretty good.
