I think my biggest concern is really a Land Raider heavy list or a flyer heavy list. I really left my tools to deal with them at home - since there are not great tools for Daemons anyway.<br /><br />I have 1 week to get the second Skull Cannon in playable shape (and same with the Flesh Hounds). One change I think I may make is to lose 1 Hound for a Locus of Fury (Rage). It gives the hounds unit 68 S5 WS 5 attacks at I4 on the charge - which is really my answer to terminators/centurions.Calypso2tshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245702599694373835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-64502793906586092042013-09-03T22:39:05.740-04:002013-09-03T22:39:05.740-04:00That's a brutal list and I'm positive you&...That's a brutal list and I'm positive you'll be a beast behind the wheel. It's a really good anti-meta list as well. Tau and Eldar will have a hard time dealing with 4 units of beasts and cavalry backed up by fateweaver. The cannons really are gold with so many 2+ cover saves in the current meta.<br /><br />I can't think of too many lists that will be a hard counter for this. Maybe a new marine centurian heavy list will be tough, but not many people will figure out that codex by November.hyv3myndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986893384791002364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-16837460709321443812013-09-03T17:35:09.608-04:002013-09-03T17:35:09.608-04:00I do not plan to buff it up at all before shooting...I do not plan to buff it up at all before shooting. Prescience is great for the BS 3 Soul Grinder, but pelting a unit with a BS 5 Large Blast is going to hit a large portion of the time. Since it takes an 8 to get the large blast marker off a vehicle (typically 2.5" is enough scatter for them to miss provided it is in the right direction) - the Skull Cannon will only miss around 2/9 of the time (2/3 chance to scatter and 1/3 chance to scatter 8" or more.<br /><br />I really like the Cannon for picking off units that rely on that Stealth/Shrouded property to stay safe. Anything leveraging invisibility, Nurgle Daemons, Conceal Warlocks/Seers, the list goes on in 6th edition.Calypso2tshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245702599694373835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-68239739741335400802013-09-03T05:03:59.166-04:002013-09-03T05:03:59.166-04:00Nice to know my recent purchase of a Skull Cannon ...Nice to know my recent purchase of a Skull Cannon was probably a good idea. Any spells worth casting on it, or is there little you can do to improve a BS5 large blast that ignores cover? I'm planning on using it to shoot the targets my Bloodcrushers are about to charge, and to add some threat against the 4+ cover Wave Serpents that are causing me so much grief.AgentFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272707754378685745noreply@blogger.com
