Vengeance Weapon Battery

[manrogue]

You need to check stronghold assault, not the rulebook. Its basically the codex for fortifications remember. Codex> Rulebook.

from my quick glance-

Victory Conditions
Unless you and your opponent decide otherwise, do not include fortifications for the purposes of awarding
Victory Points or determining when an opposing side is ‘wiped out’.

See above, if you can't use to claim victory points, you can't hold objective as it scores you a victory point?

Or you can hold an objective, you'd get no victory points anyway as they are ignored for victory points?

Edit - ignore, just checked FAQ and tells you to ignore that page lol

I agree with Will, as long as it is a building and it is claimed by a player then it can hold an objective.

The 'FUN' bit about the Vengeance Battery is that it is unmanned and cannot be claimed by the opponent.

Looks like this may fill the Anti-Air hole that my Sisters/Knights list has at the moment.

150 points = 2 Vengeance Weapon Batteries with Quad Icarus Lascannon.

Range 96", S 9, AP 2, Heavy 2, Interceptor, Skyfire, Twin-Linked

The only down side is that the unit is Autofiring at the nearest unit, unless the Interceptor rule is used, then it fires at the nearest arriving reserve unit.

Just remember that sky fire is always on this edition, so if firing at none flying/skimmer unit you hit on 6's due to being a snap shot.
