i mean... looks cool... what does it do for its points?

[Cpt.Danjou]

There is a reason why I saved it for the last Unit of the week, as I have never seen one on the table, ever. Why pay points for something that is just a glorified cover? Sure it can do some damage, but for those points you can get something so much better. Scrap it from the codex, and just make it a generic terrain piece, just like the fat sneeze chimneys that "our brothers who has the flu" has.

Poor rules make this cool model feel terrible to play.  I hope they can find a fun design spot for fortifications. And aircraft

It looks great - but yeah, it doesn't really do anything.  There was an argument for it in its previous iterations where it gave an invulnarable save bubble (my own opinion was that it was still too expensive, but there were some who found it worthwhile) but now... yeah, I can't see anyone ever fielding it as an actual unit.

 

Thanks for doing all of these, @Cpt.Danjou - it took real commitment to get to the end of them, and the discussion has been really interesting.  BTW, I've added Creations of Bile to the detachment area of the Resource post, so it there for me to put the link if you want to start any discussions on the detachments.

I have proudly used mine for years -- since it was first introduced, in fact -- because that invulnerable save was always a beautiful thing to keep my base-of-fire units alive and kicking.  In its current iteration, it just doesn't really have a use.
