I can see what gw were aiming for, but a blanket 6+ to hit really hurts armies that don't have ready access to aa weapons. <br />From what I've seen guard have come up trumps in this. 2 vendettas would nail that stormraven with the sheer number of lascannons brought to bear.Firewasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437136828739603902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075845405833378301.post-22597591670621474432012-08-02T17:04:14.855-07:002012-08-02T17:04:14.855-07:00Turret, fair enough, it's a point defence syst...Turret, fair enough, it's a point defence system. And I have no problem with those flyers benefiting from the protection afforded to other flyers - for their troop delivery mode they have to switch to hover mode anyway so they do become vulnerable. I just don't think those flyers should be as good at killing other flyers as they are.
