I am finally starting on the assembly of my Stormraven, which I got for Christmas
It is a really cool model. I am asking for input on the weapons. I may do magnets, but I get frustrated with working with them. I am looking forward to trying the flyer rules in 6th.
=========================================================
Stormraven Gunship 200 pts
Flyer, Hover, Transport (12 models and/or 1 Dreadnought)
Wargear:
TL Hvy Bolter
TL Assault Cannon
4x bloodstrike missiles (Range 72", S 8, AP 1, Heavy 1, One Use Only)
Ceramite plating
Options:
Replace TL Hvy Bolter
- TL Multi-melta ... free
- typhoon missile launcher ... +25pts
Replace TL assualt cannon
- TL plasma cannon ... free
- TL lascannon ... free
Side sponsons with hurricane bolters ... +30pts
=========================================================
It is obvious the TL heavy bolters get replaced. Do I go with the free TL multi-melta or pay for the long range missiles? Range may not be critical given the movement of flyers. The missiles do give you 2 shots. This piece appears difficult to magnetize. It is on the nose of the ship and swivels.
I will probably setup 2 weapon options on the turret. I just don't want to limit myself to one unless there is a clear winner. I am considering TL las and TL assault. Is it worth the trouble? Did I mention I hate magnets?
I do not see the benefit in paying 30 pts for the hurricane bolters. Your thoughts?
My initial idea:
Stormraven Gunship 200pts
- typhoon missile launcher 25pts
- TL las cannons with a magnet to possibly use TL assualt cannons
