As for the broadsides I've thought about taking drones but each time a drone gets killed I'll be forced to take a leadership test and since shield drones no longer have the armor save of the controlling unit I'd rather take my chances with just the broadsides. Putting a commander in with broadsides not only gives them a higher leadership but he can also absorb some of the more dangerous shots. Although last month I did have a bad roll that forced my unit to flee off the board on Turn 1 and in game 2 my commander got turned into a squig so I need to rethink how to position my commander depending in the army.

I wasn't sure as it seems you have them at singular.<br /><br />I like the additions of the Shas'ui's a lot. Morale is key to keeping those fish heads in the fight. Also surprised your broadsides don't have shav vre upgrades. Then again, without missile drones i guess there isn't much point.David Koszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897414728089622576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-10062368267269688852013-10-09T09:06:15.542-04:002013-10-09T09:06:15.542-04:00@Ghostin, Yeah, I knew working with floral foam wa...@Ghostin, Yeah, I knew working with floral foam was going to pose issues but it is so easy to work with and sculpt. The key is adding the glue skin to protect the foam from damage. I know the picture cannot convey the toughness of the dried glue but it is pretty solid. Hopefully some of the other writers on this blog will be able to see the terrain this weekend at our monthly tournament and provide their feedback as well. Glad you liked the outcome. Wait until next week when I post pics of all of the terrain pieces in use.

Interceptor is nice for trying to hit droppods with my TL Fusion blaster that come in too close to the riptide. The nice thing about the broadsides with the VT is that all of their weapons are TL plus attaching a commander with the Puretide Chip should make sure that I am able to take down the flyers as needed. In last month's event I only faced two flyers and I was able to take down a Storm Raven but not a HelDrake. We will see how this list does this month before I make any final decisions.

Riptides can take two support systems. You would have an interceptor w/ skyfire. Not mention you'd have an extra 20pts. to throw around.David Koszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897414728089622576noreply@blogger.com
