| With the new box set coming out and coming with a falcon I've been looking on the internet at analysis of the falcon. I don't understand why everyone hates on the vehicle and loves the fire prisim. When I used math hammer.com to compare the middle firing mode of the fire prisim (which seems like the best version) to a bright lance equipped falcon the fire prisim only really outclasses it versus toughness 8. It seems that you give up a small damage output for a like 20 pts cheaper platform and a transport capacity which seems like a fair trade.
Can anyone shed light on this? Am I missing something? Is my analysis completely off? | |

And if you need a transport the WS is just better. The falcon sucks as a heavy and transport combine, when you need to move 20" it sucks at shooting, when you need to stand still and shoot it sucks at transporting. | |

| Oh okay that makes sense. So I'm not a competitive player obvs (as my question demonstrates) but I like to win in my gaming group. Is there anyway to make the falcon useful? Cause it is a cool model! | |

Honestly, not really. But there is a chance that they will get buff this next release, they are in the Psychic Awakening box set. But if you are not competitive they are still fine to play, take 3 of them with cheap troops inside and just get them out later when you need to take objectives. | |
