There's something that wasn't taken into account, and that is leaving me with this nagging question. Is an army of superheavies actually viable for playing? I mean for 2000ish points: 4 tanks have 120 wounds at T9 with a 2+ save, helped out by all the free wargear, along with each tank having at least 6 HB/HF and 2 LC for supplemental shooting, plus regiment traits for obsec/extra gun range/auto wound on 6s/etc, and include at least one tank ace trait for orders. I think that would be a pretty effective list for only taking four models.

@user-mh9xy8xj6p Год назад

I think, what you have overlooked is changes in AoO: Superheavy now gets doctrines. So, you pick born soldiers and then FOR 1CP buff your big tank to autowound on 5+. This means, that sponson heavy bolters will autowound 66% of the time. This skyrockets big tanks damage output. At average, if shoot main weapon on dreadnoght and sponsons on marines, you will kill about 450 points, which is almost big tanks cost.

@lordcastellan4735 Год назад

Stormblade is the best. Not for its stats or profile. It's awesome because of looks.

@JohnnyRico118 Год назад

I really want to take the Stormblade because I like plasma stuff, but they haven't updated the profile to include turret weapon, or to buff the amount of shots it gets (should be 2D6+6 shots).

Agreed. Stormblade looks fantastic, unfortunately most people seem to have forgotten it exists.

Y’know, while I will always love baneblades and their variants, I think it’s worth talking about other “lords of war” slot choices, even if they’re not as good, just to see how they interact with modern guard and how to apply them in the 9 1/2 Ed guard force

@David-li4uw Год назад

Shadowsword is as much of a psychological weapon as it is a regular weapon

@Shaso-xv3tw Год назад

I feel like the Storm Sword is specifically for clearing power armored units out of cover, I think it’ll probably be useful against marines and equivalent forces.

@NoName-lo9ym Год назад

Who would benefit the most of sitting on a firing deck blasting away - which unit of muscleheaded goons only have a 5+ save... Ahhh - OGRYNS!! Aggressive Doomhammering for the win. A 6 man Ogryn unit (taking up 18 out of 25 seats) can sit in there quite happily blasting away ignoring any incoming fire. What would have been good is if they added the Mobile Command vehicle benefit to the transport 'Hammers so you could keep a command squad in the remaining seats safe and happy. Why would a gigantic super heavy not have the same radio set up as a tiddly Chimera?

@StevenZagaris Год назад

Just have the commissar exit with the Ogryns. Im planning to have a unit of ripper guns remain in firing deck while bullgryns with mauls storm out of my Stormlord.

@blackwolf671 Год назад

Iv got a friend thats been going back and forth on a tallarn army the last few years. I keep trying to talk him into a Stormlord. The ability to Hose down the center objective, Roll up and Spew out 40 obsec bodies or some mix of Guard and Ogryn is just invaluable. Pair that up with some Russ or Dorn's that can take over the normal anti-armor duties And its a very solid choice in an armored/mechanized company.

@The_Nowhere_Man Год назад

So you're saying the Stormlord is... a Beigeblade?

@RFischer Год назад

Two points about all these Super heavies. 1) Not one can come in as reserve unless you wish to sit still for a whole turn not shooting or doing anything. With their sponsons they are 7 inches wide! 2) Good luck moving any of them on the terrain rich boards that are used these days. That mean if you do fill one with transport capacity it won't be able to move the troops up table. So just sit back and screen off a 25-inch section of your table edge from deep strikers. Make sure you take guns with 48 inches of range. 36 might be enough.

@luciusrex6709 Год назад

@robertcypress6604 7 месяцев назад

@harrylane7817 Год назад

Considering how expensive they are, the take all comers ones are the go to for me! The big gun needs to be able to take on elite infantry or tanks. The Baneblade is iconic and will always have a place in my heart. The Banesword is the best at the moment since it’s so cheap. The Stormsword would be more interesting but you get a similar output from duct taping two cheaper (and have more synergies in the book) Leman Russ Demolishers together. All the others are too specialised and the transport ones pay for a capacity you might not be using. Give me a Baneblade any day of the week!

@LCFC81 Год назад

The only song you should sing when wielding a typical guard super heavy: Picking up speed, running out of time, Going head to head, it's a way of life. You gotta fall down, meet ground, to get back up again. Let's Baneblade...

@alexandercain8904 Год назад

I'm still irritated about the Shadowsword not being able to ignore invulnerable saves.

@Crivicus Год назад

The shadow sword made more sense when the board size was bigger, and even more sense when playing the apocalypse game mode. Now it is just too long range a weapon without enough shots to justify it on the smaller infantry and melee focussed tables today. The Hellhammer and Stormsword with the extra sponsons are probably the super heavies worth taking now unless you want an excuse to yell BANEBLADE! Your comments on the Stormlord does make it more tempting - the biggest downside is its size makes it hard to move around the board which always puts me off for a transport.

I'm considering that, but it could potentially explode for up to 2D6 + D6 MW meaning you don't want it surrounded by a lot of your stuff. Still, having a baby Shadowsword titan killer melta weapon littered with dual flamer sponsons and infantry firing down off the back deck is something your opponent just can't ignore.
