The jink save also makes using heat lances a lot safer. Works wonders with night fight (god I love night fight, it has so much synergy with jink saves, shame we can't force it on the first turn). They are now T4 so feel no pain is better, and it now protects them from power weapons.<br /><br />They have huge mobility thanks to turbo boost, and the option to move 2d6 in the assault phase. They auto-pass dangerous terrain tests. Blade vanes are still great.<br /><br />They got a nice boost in assault thanks to hammer of wrath. The new power weapon options are interesting on them, notably spears. Although agonisers or venom blades are still great.<br /><br />My experience in this edition is that they perform a lot better in assault. Which I like as it always felt weird never using combat drugs. So far I have been running 9 with three heat lances, and an arena champion with venomblade or agoniser for 249-264pts. It's not cheap but it's an amazingly survivable toolbox unit, that always makes it's points back. Being able to pump out 9-27 blade vane attack, reliably take out tanks and beat most non dedicated assault units. They really excel at popping transports and assaulting the troops inside. A whole load of fun.Mushkillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-85288453799172025752012-07-13T14:25:26.004-07:002012-07-13T14:25:26.004-07:00Shattershard sharting - sounds painfulShattershard sharting - sounds painfulAhrimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-58875294095913082392012-07-13T14:16:38.234-07:002012-07-13T14:16:38.234-07:00Great post Hero !
