Hell, I even think it'd be worth considering taking heavy weapons in those vet squads to have a fourth weapon firing from the Taurox. Granted they'd be snapshots when the transport moves but an autocannon or heavy bolter has decent rate of fire.Nailiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872946505586588890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-18761792637803883122014-11-05T16:18:18.038-08:002014-11-05T16:18:18.038-08:00You could, but you don't have to.

Just because you can take three doesn't mean you need to.Grumpy Guardsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589097813598490581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-77857197573204782432014-11-05T15:30:40.162-08:002014-11-05T15:30:40.162-08:00Wouldn't be easier just to upgrade 3 Veterans ...Wouldn't be easier just to upgrade 3 Veterans with Plasma Guns instead of 2?<br />Wouldn't bother with a Heavy Flamer so that leaves you an extra man to equip a specialist weapon?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-41291045116555006562014-11-05T05:08:09.519-08:002014-11-05T05:08:09.519-08:00I'm investing in some Taurox Primes soon for m...I'm investing in some Taurox Primes soon for my Scion platoon to bring mobility to my static gunline army. Their primary advantage over valkyries is their ability to score objectives, something flyers can't do because with their base, they'll always be more than 3" from an objective. <br /><br />I've found that if you DO want to use Flyers, they combo well with a well equipped Tank Commander unit. The tank commander and his escorts can usually last the 2 turns of enemy shooting necessary to get the flyers on the table, especially if you use terrain to block LOS.<br /><br />Valkyries are a liability in Maelstrom of war missions because they can't score and their passengers probably won't get to an objective by turn 3 at the earliesrt. The FAST taurox and even salamander scouts allow you to score objectives in turns 1 and 2, and put more pressure on your enemy.Arianna Flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261679769849430770noreply@blogger.com
