Suddenly reconsidering whether the one i was going to get is enough...

[Brass Scorpion]

Im already dreading its release ... i have to paint three of them for a freinds army in yellow of all colours

I also use yellow in my Eldar army. Spray paint is your friend. I spray the yellow, the hardest color to paint in the scheme, then paint the other colors over that as needed.

[Melissia]

Sorry for the dumb question, but is this now a "codex unit" or is it for spearhead only?

It's now a codex unit.

[Splug]

It give mech eldar access to something similar to the reaper exarchs without sacrificing the overall mobility the army benefits from, but overall I don't think it's that scary. It's more durable than the reapers against an army with strong long-range anti-infantry, but it's also drastically less devastating.

Then again, does the whole unit count as being in dangerous terrain, or just the models which are hit? Clipping one guy from three different squads might be fairly devastating if it's the former - who cares that only one guy actually died, if three full squads are suddenly in dangerous terrain, they'll roll some 1's.

wow , I better mechanize up my Tyranid army.

At least the Difficult/Dangerous terrain could be if you killed someone.

grumble grumble

and does the terrain test work on vehicles? I use murderous Hurricane to take out a land raider before. This is even better. I drop 3 on all the rhinos and wait for the fun to start.

[Anggul]

*Drool* Sounds nice.

[Melissia]

Yeah, it appears to work on vehicles. So vehicles move as if in difficult and dangerous terrain

[Atrotos]

Hmmm, barrage and rending makes it a pain for vehicles as well.

[Herald of Nurgle]

Nowhere near decent enough for me.

[Melissia]

Nowhere near decent enough for me.

... it has good strength, it's large blast, it's not ordnance (IE the vehicle can move and fire), it pins (from barrage, IIRC), it's rending, it's twin-linked, it does damage in the enemy turn AFTER the shot is fired if the enemy wants or has to move, and its special ability works on vehicles as well as infantry.

It's a friggin' NIGHTMARE. How is this not good enough?
