Whats the opportunity cost? A crummy pot shot at AV 12 or more. Math hammer tells me ion cannons are just as good as rail guns at AV 11 and better at AV 10. 3 squads of piranhas should be enough for those few high AV targets (except for a mech IG parking lot). Remember the hammers are going around the flanks and probable get side shots as per your battle plan.<br /><br />The rail gun is better at hordes. You do however have 10 flamers, ready to spout hot flames after the enemy consolidates from the piddly drones.<br /><br />The ultimate reason to go for ion cannons? They are a lot cheaper and can still play a roll in this army. Is there something you could do with saved 105 points? Another HQ for some added Ld survivability?Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175893654494633736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-62742696267077795412011-02-17T05:35:48.405-05:002011-02-17T05:35:48.405-05:00Isn't that "Old Shattered Daddy"? G...Isn't that "Old Shattered Daddy"? Great list, I especially like the the 'rate of fire' approach over high AP. In my experience with Guard, rate of fire wins every time.<br /><br />Don't forget that fish of fury is still absolutely devastating against Tyranids and Deamons as you can nuke a unit and block counter charges with the DF.suneokunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085094845127991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-63822295812668436172011-02-16T21:22:44.648-05:002011-02-16T21:22:44.648-05:00Thanks!

It was a great deal at the time, and now that GWS is picking our pockets even more ( While making their crap in CHinese sweat shops), I'm glad I got it when it was available.<br /><br />Huge Congratulations OSH on becoming a daddy!

So when you have 1 pod on a vehicle at 12 inches or more away, the entire squadron gets the 4+ cover. It's a bit rules-lawyery but I'll take it! <br /><br />What's cool about this, is that you can send one piranha ahead to shoot their Fusion Blaster, while keeping the one with the pod as far back as possible to claim your 4+ cover. Neat huh?<br /><br />My intention was to have the 3 piranha sqadrons work together doing this each, being able to fire 3 fusion guns without losing my 4+ pod save.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-91114916264713020852011-02-16T20:48:05.306-05:002011-02-16T20:48:05.306-05:00Can someone explain how the disruptor pod on only ...Can someone explain how the disruptor pod on only one of the Piranhas works?
