S4 hurricanes are defensive weapons. S5 hurricanes are not, so that limits your ability to move and shoot.<br /><br />Between the defensive weapon rule and the Power of the Machine spirit, a GK Stormraven can move 12" and shoot every last one of its weapons. The two main guns, the defensive hurricanes, and even the Mindstrike missiles. That ability, to me, is worth picking over S5 on the hurricanes. After all, if you buy fast vehicles, it must be to move them fast.<br /><br />Mind, if you do get psybolts, with or without hurricanes, those TL-asscans become S7. Not too shabby as anti-tank firepower goes...Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951094727332733167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-34617580461781677442011-03-31T12:28:35.979+01:002011-03-31T12:28:35.979+01:00I like your list, though mine the bodies are somew...I like your list, though mine the bodies are somewhat more resilient. I think either would work, mostly because the opponent is hard-pressed to concentrate much firepower on your backlines when there are two 3++ Ravens full of GKT in their face.<br /><br />Your comments re GK's lack of ranged fire, especially anti-tank, are of course accurate - and you're right, Vindicares are S3+4d6 pen, with Rending on each d6 and AP1 - average roll then would be 17. Pretty impressive...I kinda wished I could get one in, but then I also wanted an Interceptor Squad...and maybe a Dreadknight...Purifiers are always good...etc etc...TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-91526652605137848782011-03-31T12:21:00.547+01:002011-03-31T12:21:00.547+01:00I have no idea how I managed to do that, and spend...I have no idea how I managed to do that, and spend 215 below limit... :s<br /><br />Thanks for pointing it out Spag!<br /><br />A GKGM with Rads, Tropes, Incinerator and NFH is 215, so I shall go with that suggestion.<br /><br />Combat Squadding an idea, but I can't afford the Psybolts, so it seems pointless tbh. :)<br /><br />Thanks also Ian and Gornall - Ian, will check that list out now - though it means using a different browser so I don't get auto-locked out of Warseer! :PTheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-54691486735019941452011-03-31T03:27:35.606+01:002011-03-31T03:27:35.606+01:00I like this list a lot.

It hits two things I want to use from the codex, namely the Stormravens and GKTs.Gornallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033702961765246406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-65303896295364218302011-03-30T02:41:39.084+01:002011-03-30T02:41:39.084+01:00Some good thoughts.

I would say that as this is almost exactly (well, GKSS instead of InqH w Psybacks) that I floated as a fun army to play with and to be mildly competitive:<br /><br />http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298518Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270406081944668281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-52202247675268314292011-03-29T04:06:51.506+01:002011-03-29T04:06:51.506+01:00Nice list, but you you don't need 4 scoring un...Nice list, but you you don't need 4 scoring units. You have 1785 by your points here. If you are going to put your dreads in the raven, make at least 1 have a doomfist so you can have a str 10 dreadnought force CCW, and you might as well make your Terminator squad 1 unit and combat squad them if needed. Spend 20 points and give all 8 models str 5 storm bolters. Also you need at least 1 sword for that 4+ invol in close combat. Master craft 1 weapon or so for wound allocation and you are set. <br /><br />Not bad. I would find a way to get a Grand Master in the list with Psychotroke's or Rads.Spaguatyrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459803772469387289noreply@blogger.com
