Hey fellas. It's something that I think is fairly obvious, but then again with the new plethora of units, vehicles, rules, etc -- you might miss out or not think of some things unless they're pointed out to you. So yesterday, as I was browsing my new Officio Assassinorum ebook, I had a rather mean and awesome idea. In my local area I often have to deal with a ton of flyers. I tend to play Tau more than my IG these days, so it's not much of a problem as it was for the IG (Velocity Tracker, how beautiful thou art).
Well, if you plan on taking assassins and you have trouble with flyers in your local meta, then take a Vindicare and sit him on the Icarus lascannon of an Aegis Defense Line. He is BS8 and Ignores Cover; combined with the Skyfire of the Icarus, adds up to being able to do some hard-hitting and always-hitting damage to flyers.
I'm sure that there are other gun emplacements that he/she will be awesome for as well. Keep the ideas flowing and happy wargaming.
