wow, tank shocking an anchored stormsurge just kills it?

Hunter contingent only allows marker lights

riptides shooting an ordnance weapon can't fire another weapon even with multi-tracker

yes, and im glad its an errata not just a faq. cause the original wording was weird.

[ohgodsnakes]

Targets have to declare whether to jink BEFORE marker light tokens are used. That's a nice bonus

I don't think I've ever used a drone controller with missile drones, but I made a list literally this morning with a buff manner in a unit of broadside who has a drone controller. Time to take that out I guess.

I'm happy about the hunter contingent marker light ruling. It was so simple to just say "units targeting the same unit can share markerlights" instead of the "shoot as one unit" they had originally said.


And wut... tank shocked SS is just dead? Lame. As if a rhino is capable of destroying a hulking suit by ramming it's ankles.

lol... if that rhino crossed the board to tank shock your stormsurge... I think you've got other problems going on

the declaration of jink first actually makes alot of sense...

Imagine the shame if a FREE rhino killed your 400+ pts Stormsurge? Watch out for table flips!

It just means you’ll never see one anchored which you’d be silly to do anyways as its’ goal is to get shoved down your opponents’ throats while it barfs missiles everywhere and stomps their faces in.

That's why I named mine "Stompy McMissile-Tits"

And yah, I don't think I've anchored my SS since my 3rd game with him. Charging up the field and soaking up fire while pooping missiles is where it's at.

Ya so overall I think how we have been playing it at our local level is pretty solid. I think most things here make a ton of sense.

The only one that seems to have no grounds is the tank shock or die that every one has picked up on. The rule book clearly states that GMC who suffer Insta death or "removed from play" affects suffer d3 wounds instead. The tank shock is pretty clear its a remove from play affect. I guess they just don't want people to ever use the anchors. I mean I have played about 10 games with it and anchors once but now it doesn't seem worth it.

I guess if you find yourself on the wrong end of a tank shock you just death or glory it with your smash and hope that S10 AP2 re-roll armour pens get the job done. Tho at that point you probably are in a lot of trouble any way...

If you're anchored you can't stomp anyways, so they basically just eliminated the anchored fire mode

[Jack Shrapnel]

people are freaking out about the idea that a rhino could kill a GMC... but a LOT of things have to go wrong for that to happen:

1. You pushed your GMC forward and then anchored (rather than anchor in the backfield)
2. you didn't shoot that rhino with ANY guns, as even the basic tau weapons can kill a rhino
3. you allowed a tank to get within 12" of your anchored GMC and did NOT raise the anchors on your turn AND you didn't kill this tank before it could do it.

so when will this happen? ummmm never.
