Advice for new corsairs

[Galron]

The youtube podcasters seem to be poo-pooing them pretty hard. I dont think the Starfang is bad especially within the corsairs detachments. Weapons and speed are decent and the stealth bonus thing is a nice perk. As Kar says. the grenade launcher and disintegrator will be great when it zips behind the enemy front line to pop the little 5 man squads hiding in the backfield softening the way for the frail jump guys. Im planning on running two as individuals.

Surprising as they have given a shooting profile that is distinct and different from the Vyper. If you want horde clearance, take a Vyper with Scatter Laser. If you want tankbusting, take a Vyper with ML and BL. But if you want to pop MEQs, the Starfang is your baby.

Stayed up to put in my order from war games  portal and it went out of stock while I was filling my name out.

Heck I’d argue starfang is a decent anti-horde unit as well.  4-6 shots that won’t be savable for horde models. Hitting on a 3+ most will hit, those that hit will likely wound, and then no saves on those wounds.

 

edit

i hate how they do preorders. Why were independent stores able to do preorders 10 hours ago, but they still arent available on the GW site?

got my order confirmation. Looking forward to getting my birthday present like 29 days early.
