Storm Talon Gunship customized WIP

I've slightly modified the Storm Talon by reducing the bulk of the missile pods and the assault cannon on the front. I've done this by removing a lot of the pivot mechanism of the assault cannon and I trimmed down the stalks on which the missile pods are mounted. It makes the whole model look more streamlined and a little less front heavy but in doing so I've put my own blood into succeeding (last photo)!

  3. Depending on 6th Ed's change to flyers.... I can't see myself fielding even one.... AP11 in current meta of Lascannons, Dark Lances, Necron craziness essentially renders this to a pretty piece of flying papier mâché. I do look forward to seeing a more comprehensive vehicle damage chart (or even introducing structure points) but in return upping the point cost per vehicle. I do miss 2nd Ed when fielding one Rhino and a Predator was a considered mechanized list.

  4. Well that's the thing...their might well be a more complex vehicle damage chart in the next edition and their most probably will be more survivability for fliers - similar to what they have in Apocalypse now where all ranges are reduced by 12" to shoot at fliers and you always need 6's to hit unless you have special anti-air traits. In this edition fliers are really fragile but I'm sure it will change in 6th ed.
