Is it just me or am i the only one who thinks that the Deathstrike may be a bit of an anticlimax.
In epic its a freaking ICBM but looking at its rules it does a D3+3" blast
it may be stupidly powerful but for the amount of points you WILL pay for it surely a demolisher would be better value and get shot less and get to shoot more.

Maybe it's one of those units that rips an arm of your enemy, much like deepstriking Vets with 3 meltas.

It's an incredibly random, hit or miss piece of kit. The number of times that it's going to fire when you need it to, hit where you want it, and get everything you're aiming at is tiny, but on those occasions it's going to be absolutely devastating. I'd save it for Apocalypse.

i dont want it unless it has the melta spechal rule and can do more than one wound
the giant bomb struck the carnafex right in the face as the smoke cleard the master of ordanance was like fire agane its gona take 4 of theas giant bombs to kill one fex even though the misell is biger than the fex.....................y do we spend so much on these any way a few hevy wepons teams would be cheaper and so much more efective

I'd just like to see how they could do it without making it an Apoc-only unit. Or...perhaps I'm wrong and it is an Apoc-only unit. I haven't heard much about the Deathstrike. I remember them from Final Liberation. You could drop a mekboy gargant in one hit with one.

It is in the Dex' i've seen the leaked stat sheet. Also unless the missile has some sort of doesn't scatter rule its going to be really nerfing pointless against anything bar maybe a monolith where you need the strength and even then why not take a Manticore (same strength but worse AP)and more shots.

I agree. the Death Strike will remain outside of my army's force organization. Wasn't planning on taking one anyway.

I mean it has real potential for coolness but if its not that effective why would i be motivated to convert a potentially awesome model.

I guess it would have to be made an Apoc-only to have real butt-kickatitude. I was envisioning an apocalypse missile launcher mounted on a chimera.

Is this big enough for you? I made this with the plans to use it for the rules from BOLS. Danny

So... Remind me again why the missile is larger than the blast?

A missile like that belongs in an Apoc. game. I imagine the carrier wouldn't be able to survive the launch.

i agre the tank should take a str 10 ap 1 hit a the launch it should have a 12 inch blast radies and be a vortex wepon and it shoudent scater or it should not be for normal games

or it should not be for normal games Agreed. Are they even going to make a 40k model for it?

they might

Post by commissargaunt on Apr 8, 2009 13:34:52 GMT -5
yeah it will probably be in the same kit as the Manticore if they ever make a plastic one of those.

I guess they will. It's a little harsh to put a model in the codex & not ever release a model for it.
I've always seen it as been enormous - I don't think they'd lump it in the with the manticore (Which is significantly smaller...)

I remember the agony over the lack of a Vindicator model when I played Dark Angels. I refused to use the old one. Luckly, it doesn't seem like the Deathstrike will be all that great. I am however, hoping they make a kit for the eradicator & executioner.
