How do?
Relatively fresh from my first Apocalypse game in a long old time, I want to chat about the best Super-Heavies out there.
Now? What is best? I'll leave that to you. But having fielded a pooload of Knights and a Reaver, for me it's about 'bang for your buck', and their overall flexibility.
For me, the undisputed title holder of 'best Super-Heavy in the game, bar none' has to go to the Ordinatus Minoris Sagittar. Now, it's not a model I currently own (well, unless you're reading this on Wednesday in which case I'll totes have ordered it!), but having borrow the Reaver, I've been looking for a centrepiece all my own.
But why the Sagittar? Dead easy....
1) It's a piffling 700 points. That's all.
2) Have you seen it's gun? 180" range, Str D, AP1, 10" Blast. With Machine Destroyer (re-rolls 1's on the D chart when knacking a vehicle).
3) 14 Hull Points....so if it does get destroyed, you can use the Strategic Resource to replace it, probably making your opponent curse your name for ever more.
4) IT'S A FRIKKING HUGE LASER ON TRACKS
5) It's also got Volkite weapons, which are always a laugh.
6) Have you seen it's shield rules? -3 Str to enemy attacks in the first turn. -2 Str to enemy attack on the second turn. -1 Str to enemy attacks in the following turns. How awesome is that? With AV14, it's more-than-likely untouchable in the first couple of turns, barring Str D (everything is always barring Str D!)
7) 6+ static Invulnerable (hey, it's better than nothing!)
8) Blessed Autosimulcara, so it's got some chance of self-repair. Which is nice.
All that for 700 points. 700. It's a bargain! Only downside is the £285 asking price - though I am kind of tempted to get two.
Yes, it's cousin the Ulator can do disgusting things to the enemy, but it's quite situational. You need a good angle for starters, and stuff really worth shooting at. It's also 300 points more....
So yes. The Ordinatus Minoris Sagittar totally gets me vote!
