I'd drop him and get holo-fields on the score-falcon, if nothing else.<br /><br />On the other hand, Mind War DOES make for the best stories.<br /><br />"Oh. Your Warboss is dead.

I'd rather roll that way, and get the massive points savings.<br /><br />Spirit Stones? Useful 1/6 times. Shuriken Cannon? Useful when you can point it at something with an armor value less than 12-13, or Toughness lower than 8.<br /><br />I think Pathfinders are a fine choice, but only in larger points lists. They just fail to contribute much of anything. They harass infantry in the open, and every once in a while annoy a transport. (After, y'know, S3 + the rend + a 3+ to actually glance a Rhino).<br /><br />The only thing I'd think about debating you on is the Mind War and Spirit Stones; could free up a good 45ish points there. I like Mind War, but with cover saves and the part where you have to get out to use it...might not see so much love.<br /><br />As it is, with those points I'd probably add chin guns to the Prisms and then make one of the Fire Dragons an Exarch w/ Flamer.<br /><br />Just for sake of curiosity, why Mind War?Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.com
