Instead of taking five minutes to figure out which Paladins are taking which wounds and then rolling, it sounds like a much quicker way of simply rolling and removing specific models. <br /><br />I'm still a little foggy on some of the details, though.DarkLinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-12581334806843300412012-06-27T10:26:58.799-07:002012-06-27T10:26:58.799-07:00Regarding Flyers: I think you can buy a Bastion an...Regarding Flyers: I think you can buy a Bastion and put a gun on it that has Skyfire on it. Yes GW is definitely trying to sell more models here but this is also a drive to push the point costs of the normal battle up.<br /><br />The average fight might have to skew 100 - 200 points more to include building costs. The answer might be obvious once we see the statlines for the Fortress of Redemption. If it turns out to be a Flyer Killer that's 2x as tough as a Land Raider it might be the no-brainer choice of the 6th ed. It would also be an obvious ploy to sell a $115 model.Dimitri Del Castillohttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=581743231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-55550786508982558412012-06-26T23:48:38.415-07:002012-06-26T23:48:38.415-07:00I think hull points are intended to reduce the she...I think hull points are intended to reduce the sheer luck required to destroy vehicles.<br />I mean, how many times have you shot EVERYTHING in your army at a single Rhino, only to roll stunned, stunned, shaken, weapon torn off, stunned over and over -and it still keeps driving at you (because it has extra armour)!My only concern is that anything which isn't AP2 is actually less likely to blow up a vehicle with a single shot compared to the current vehicle damage chart.But my biggest worry is definitely flyers. How on earth is anyone meant to take down the Valkyrie army?Adamhttp://eldar-craftworld.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-66128851229344359452012-06-26T16:47:25.013-07:002012-06-26T16:47:25.013-07:00Great article HERO !!

I'm worried that the hull points might be tuned a bit too low overall (we'll see after some gameplay), but at the end of the day I like knowing that X many more glances will do the job, rather than wondering how many more times I'll have to roll on the damage chart before I get that 5 or 6. <br /><br />The new rules also make the GK Fortitude power MUCH more reasonable for what it costs into their units, which is nice.ataraxeannoreply@blogger.com
