So it would seem extended time on Arkhona causes the wolfboyz to get in touch with their inner Khornate. Good. good.
Don't know if I'm completely off the hook, but the Stormfang can indeed hold up to Six Spacewolves. That's confirmed atleast. It can both wield the Destructor, but with the penalty of less embarking unit count.
Note to self: read the fine print. Also, note to self: don't bring up facts when tired or inebriated, you'll make yourself look like a fool. Yes, I re-checked it, and apparently the gunship CAN hold 6 units... motherfucker, don't know WHAT I was doing when I looked that stuff up last time! So, my apologies, I stand corrected. For some reason I rememberd that the gunship is NOT used for transport (probably because if you want to use one for transport, you'd go for the Stormwolf. More capacity and the Stormfang can use it's precious time just blasting stuff to smithereens), but oh well... Now that I'm done making a fool out of myself, does anyone here have a preference to either of said Space Wolf flyers, and why?
Nah, you didn't make yourself look like a fool! Come on, Stormfang and Stormwolf. I'd be hella' confused too. I would go for a Stormfang. It sacrifices some transport capability, yes, but at a good price. You get a goddamn Destructor and you can still field 6 Troops in there.
Myeah, but with the transport you could instead throw in a full squad of terminators! Besides, comparing the hellfrost cannon (the "weaker" type) to the hellfrost destructor? Smaller blast-radius, and a little weaker on armor-penetration, BUT it's twin-linked (reroll a miss)... Rather go for the transport to get some terminators up in the opponent's face! When it comes to EC, though (thinking about WAAAAY down the line), the gunships versus the transport? The gunship, perhaps! Wrecking enemy vehicles like MAD from the sky!
Touché, that's a good argument. I think I'd like to get some big bad Terminators right up in their faces too. Stormfang would be good for keeping other units at bay, though. Drop a couple of Space Wolves ontop of someone and keep them at bay. Then, dakka anything that comes close with the gunship. If we're talking EC, boy I'd go for a Stormwolf. Not enough with you're blasting like there was no tomorrow, you can drop down Terminators. Yes please. Hehe, wonder what those pesky Las Cannon wielders would say to that. Hits the Stormwolf, followed by getting driveby'd by a couple of Terminators.
Oh heeeell yea! They both have their uses, and terminators being a tad slower than others... Though, come to think of it: from what I've seen in the twitch-vids and stuff, it seems that they're using a system very similar to that of Planetside 2, when it comes to vehicles and slots in it. In PS2 it didn't matter if you were rolling in as an avarage infantry, or in a heavy MAX-suit (kinda' like comparing regular power armors and terminator armors here). So, wondering if they'll make use of the Bulky special rules that bigger infantry have (that they take up more slots in a vehicle) or if they'll allow terminators to enter a Rhino (for example) at all?
