At 36" it can put out 4 TL Scatter laser shots, only need one hit for serpent shield to TL and then its 1 + D6 TL S7 shots.(30-01-2015, 01:00 PM)manrogue Wrote: Not just that, remember you can declare a charge against them and they can't overwatch you as vehicles, making declaring a charge risk free.
Ignore my moaning about serpents, i'm just jealous Tau don't have a transport as good lol.
I hadn't even considered that, you know. Even a Dakka Tyrant will still put out 5 S6 WS8 hits on the charge - which after 12 TL S6 shots beforehand should be fine... Not sure why people on The Tyranid Hive moan about them so much - although I guess if you're up against 4 all playing TL shennanigans with the Shield hits and ignoring Venom/Malanthrope cover it would be frustrating.
In fact, this should be good fun :-)
Yep, as you'll be jumping around allows you to corner a serpent, just go mid board and there is no where for it to go. 12" jump towards it shoot and then declare a charge even if its 12" away, nowhere it can go out of range lol. And don't forget your a monstrous creature so AP2 hits in CC.
