This may change though as I REALLY want to play with the Venator and the GL/HF version one they have.<br /><br />Actually I'm going to use this to revamp my old map campaign army I had:<br /><br />I had something like 6000pts split between 3 different forces: 2 regular AirCav forces comprised of normal grunts, and 1 AirCav force of all Vets. Might have to bring this army into IA8 edition now.Roland Durendalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389723800776089633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922229106412042875.post-16653640366296666382010-05-25T10:33:18.428-05:002010-05-25T10:33:18.428-05:00I love the Tauros models... but holy crap were the...I love the Tauros models... but holy crap were they a pain to put together... <br /><br />Here's my version:<br />http://clt40k.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/hello-world/<br /><br />I was really pissed at FW for not putting up any kind of experimental rules for them though... for a while it said "hey we'll have them up soon.." then "piss off and wait for IA8"<br /><br />At any rate, I ended up listening to Wagner last night while paiting thanks to this post... <br /><br />So now in addition to your other accomplishments, you can add "inspires culture in others" to the list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922229106412042875.post-18651865427533062262010-05-24T20:52:49.502-05:002010-05-24T20:52:49.502-05:00Do Venators get Autocannons?

A couple of comments, mostly based on IA3's list, which is what I am used to playing (my IA8 hasn't arrived yet).<br /><br />1. Don't discount the effect that massed demo charges can have. I intend to model the IA2 list as much as I can, except where I can do better with IA8.<br /><br />2. When you have Vendettas, do you really want to put so much anti-tank fire in things that only hit half of the time (i.e. Sentinels). In IA3, I always took the heavy bolter version of the Sentinel and they ended up supporting my troops fairly well. I don't know if the IA8 version gets the HB or not, but if it does, you just might think about that. They play havoc with FW's :D<br /><br />3. Hmm, no Vultures. Is that because of available models? When they were flyers in IA3, you could take things like armored cockpit and chaff launcher to give them some durability. Are those options still possible?<br /><br />4. Playtesting results aside, the rest of your stuff looks fairly solid.<br /><br />5. I got some of the dune buggies (both versions)as well, but I'm waiting to see how they do. I'm currently thinking I'll outfit them more for anti-personnel vs. anti-tank.<br /><br />I can hardly wait to take these guys for a spin.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />HondaHondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492223827176485008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922229106412042875.post-13362750514272375762010-05-24T16:08:55.898-05:002010-05-24T16:08:55.898-05:00I know nothing of FW, but IG drop troops are hella...I know nothing of FW, but IG drop troops are hella cool.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.com
