Death cometh to a tabletop near you

..... so, we got the Ossefactor with our new codex Fish'eads, on the other hand, are getting these as you are probably already aware. I don't play well against Tau already, these really aren't gunna help matters.


The Stormsurge, from GW.



And the KX139 Ta'unar, from FW.

Well... Gargantuan creatures are the bane to our existence. Only Jims Freakshow lists is able to handle those. But it's not pure true Eldar. That's sad :-(

Good news! Prices confirmed for Stormsurge - USD$150, Cdn$180, and god only knows for the rest of the colonies

Won't see too many of them around, I guess **cue crocodile tears**

Meh. i usually play Community comp rules.....you can take Gargantuan creatures but if you do there is not much else you can fit in. (although my other army is GK with 2 NDK and an IK warden then fill list with terminators)

YOu're forgetting the Ghostkeel:



A quick reference for context:

I'm really struggling with the concept of a GIANT stealth suit. That seems to me as much an oxymoron as the FIFA Ethics Committee.

From what I hear from the grape vine - its the size of a broadside - maybe a touch bigger

Look at the picture again.

Thats a Riptide and a Stormsurge just behind it.

It's hard to get a decent idea on perspective though. I'd guess the Riptide and Stormsurge are actually quite far behind it in order to make it look bigger than it is. Broadside-size is probably more accurate.

The drones in front of it are a better guide - and its on a piece of scenery as well if you look closely.

I would expect it to be on the same base as the carnifex and iron striders

Does anyone else feel like the concept of this unit comes from an 8 year old playing with their friends and trying to top the other one with having something even more rediculous. Well my broadside sized unit is stealthed so you can't shoot it before it kills you.

A better pic comes:

Space frogs strike again(and again and again and again, with all those missiles)

Leaked rules for the Ghostkeel here

T5, 4 Wounds, 3+ save, 2+ cover save in any sort of cover and ablative wounds from the drones seems pretty decent and twin-linked fusion blaster with the fusion collider will make a mess of most vehicles, especially if you deep strike in behind them. Target locks would mean they could take out half an army when they arrive.

Quote :

2+ cover save in any sort of cover

Even outside of cover as he gainst stelth and shrouded while doubling the effect. So basically he gets +6 to his cover save.

We really need something that can ignore cover in the future

Hey, we've got our S3 Liquifiers that wound on a 6 with random AP.

Granted, Medusae are slightly better but still wound on a 5+. Even a Raider full of them would only kill 1 of these things, and that's 300+ points

I would rather go for the drones they have to be in front to provide ablative wounds, can only get a 4+ cover in the open (no electrowarfare) and leave the suit with 5+ in the open once they are gone.

Also Medusae would not do anything as he would just say "lol no!" activate his countermeasures and force you to snapshot your templates.

The T of this unit will interesting as the drones will lower it with the majority rules potentially

The drones have T5, the same as the suit.
