Awesome new LR!

This is an awesome LR!

Available to C: SM, C: BT, and C: DA

Is that a Thunderfire Cannon mounted in the front and twin-linked Multi-melta's on the side? I find that insane. Looks to be a good anti-horde tank and have decent anti-tank as well.

It's defensive capabilities are even more impressive. It automatically has extra armor, has potms of course, and since it doesn't have a front ramp, can have a siege shield. It can carry six models; lance and melta both don't have any special properties against it; and lastly, unless it is hit with a D weapon, it gets a -1 on the AP table for all damage against it!

Now that is an impressive model, AND pretty cool rules!

Yer! Great indeed.... thx FW, once again!

It automatically made my "gotta have it" list even if if my GK's can't use it

Very cool. I know we ain't a Space Marine Chapter so I can sorta see us once again not getting one of these kick-ass models. The real zinger is Blood Angels being not able to take one of these puppies. They weren't able to take one of those flying rams as well.

That is surprising...........I thought that the BAs had uber access to everything!

it seems it's a very old model of LR, when the SCS where more undertood and more highly technologic ...

I guess the AdMech boys are so ticked at the BA's not sharing their high speed tech they're not gonna share the fancy toys.

Actually, D weapons affect the Achilles normally. These weapons are so strong they are normally used against titans.
