Just for the record my scrutinizing of the stronghold assault rules was because I have built a void shield generator for my Orks to help my stompa survive against shooty armies, i thought that if I didnt put a unit in the building then it wouldnt be able to be targeted so increasing its survivability. Unfortunatley i found that in the stronhold assault rules that like you said its owned by the player who bought it and is counted exactly like any other unit in your army so can be assaulted and shot at, I was slightly disapointed to be honest. Thanks for another great game Dave. Otty has beaten me twice now with a nid army but he has a more shooty army than you have and he also attacks the stompa with multiple monsterous creatures which seems to do the trick :) i have found that Im not to sure what to do for the best with the stompa as its not bad at shooting and is really good at closecombat, consequently its hard to use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092364989568109164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-13826201484081339602014-02-03T09:31:47.833+00:002014-02-03T09:31:47.833+00:00Front and Side are 13 and as it's a walker tha...Front and Side are 13 and as it's a walker that's what you have to penetrate :( The s9 carnifex are great, but I'd got crushing claws on the Tervigon, which with Armour Bane was 2D6 + 5 for penetration so it's a similar average. Although Carnifex do get the D3 Hammer of Wrath attacks, which at that S9 might tip the balance in their favour.<br /><br />I think if you're going to assault any Lord of War that has an assault D-weapon it better be down to it's last or perhaps second to last wound/HP and you better be able to hit first and multiple times.

However, ...Not yet, I've just got one off ebay. However, given the Devourers can only glance the rear of the Stompa and the 24 shots from the Flyrants was unsuccessful and they managed to get those rear shots I have my doubts over the potential of the Dakkafexs given they don't have the mobility of the Flyrants. <br /><br />Cheaper though and stronger in combat but again I saw what happens when you engage with Lord of Wars in combat with the Tervigon! I think I need to adopt the old Flyer practice - ignore it!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-74669558129364125932014-02-01T20:03:30.341+00:002014-02-01T20:03:30.341+00:00Nice report Dave, but tell me have you tried any d...Nice report Dave, but tell me have you tried any dakafexs yet ? I run two broods ot 2 in the couple of games I've had & found them very good.<br /><br />24 twin-linked s6 per brood is a hell of an amount of fire & it might even have made the stompa worried.Frank O Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051293398042518708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-76797745872296540692014-02-01T14:11:22.998+00:002014-02-01T14:11:22.998+00:00Simply gorgeous!
