| Did anyone see the new rules for the Tantalus? It got a huge bump in the apoc book. 12 srt5 ap2 shots is brutal! It has d6 str7 ap2 bladevain attacks! 5 hull points (which is weird). 16 transport capacity is nothing to shake a stick at either... Now all I have to do is keep it alive. | |

| Bet it's got an AV that makes the 5HP pretty much irrelevant though. | |

| not too weird. Remember Hull points is suppose to be the size of the thing. If the raider has 3 and the tantalus is basically 2 raiders slapped together, it makes sense to have 5 (-1 for the joint in the middle) Add in the 16 capacity is for a max unit of wyches + IC (or a ton of grots)
As for the gun stats and the bladevane, it looks basically what it was before, so no change there. | |

| I think what he meant by that was AV12 means it's still going to get wrecked pretty easily meaning 5HP won't really matter  | |

| do you still have to use the court to use it as a dedicated transport? | |

| yeah its HS or take a court to get it as DT. the unrefined rules for it gave it str 6 heavy 6 shots which was chopped to str 5 in its first outing in the armour book. and unless im mistaken it used to have a capacity of 20 but came in at a huge point cost. points have been dropped particularly but str 5 still only makes it a troop killer or a DT glancer at best | |

| Finally a vehicle worthy of carrying Vect.
I got mine a month ago, but hobby time is at a premium with me. I expect to finally have it built and, possibly, painted just before 2014... | |

| 5 HP should make it somewhat more durable... 5HP is much imo, unless they score a pen and rolls 6... | |

| I got a Tantalus about 4 months ago and if I say any thing it's this, have plenty of green stuff on hand. Other than that everybody that sees it thinks its an awesome model. In game it becomes a target priority for your opponent. I almost want to paint a target on the sails xD | |
