So warhammer 40k meets planetside. Doesn't sound too bad. Look up SOE's Planetside and you'll get a good idea of what they are trying to do, and it makes sense.

FAQ states any shooting attack for the venoms, so 5+ regardless, so if the D grenades give you a cover save for shooting I don't see why you wouldnt get a 4+.

Crisis suits are clumsy, a good amount of str 4 attacks will get the best of them (looking at 6 attacks from three of them, of which half will miss most of the time). Wolves have to get there though.

Weapon I always hated were templates. Suits go down fast when str 8 weapons are involved. Autocannons, krak missiles, and demolishers in my opinion (armor 13-14 we have to respond to with fusion blasters). I can take a hit or two from conventional weaponry, it's the high end stuff that makes up for it.

Forces and Allies of the Imperium / Re: Benefits of two missilepods vs a twinlinked (scratching head).

It's has changed my firepower a bit. Two missilepods, plasma rifle. Lone suits with two fusion blasters and flamer. They work out to be relatively affordable now that the multitracker and target array expenses are no longer needed. It's scary to think that you can get a lot of missiles for under 1000pts.

Besides being a bit more expensive, im scratching my head when it comes to the benefit of twin linked missilepods vs BS 3 missilepods x 2. Four shots at str 7 (average of 2 hitting)  vs 2 shots with a really good chance of hitting. The new FAQ says we can take multiples of the same weapon, but we cannot fire more than two. If someone wants to stick to a deathrain configuration, simply spend more and get two missiles now?

Yep, you can turn them on to meet your needs. Means they are halfway decent against anything they shoot at, T 1- T 10, and can make up their points fast if they rend.

It's scary knowing you can still get 8 missilepods from two uis, and you can get them rerolled with that support pattern Jayne is mentioning. Or cover ignored.

Assume if the signature item is a weapon that it takes up a weapon slot. They don't make that distinction for items, such as the command and control node, or the gauntlet. Nothing save the 1 per army and PT cost limits it really.

Forces and Allies of the Imperium / Re: Tau: supporting fire with flamers?
« on: April 29, 2013, 02:42:53 AM »
Normal shooting rules apply in overwatch. So far if a flamer was touching friendly units, you would not be able to target the enemy through them. I would imagine the same in overwatch. You would need to be on the sides of the unit if you plan on taking advantage of the D3.

Although do note: the crisis battle team is just like before. Each has one of each weapon, and there should be 6 gun drones. Meaning that your going to likely have to get the commander box to get any of the special bits (pretty steep imo). My first box was missing three gun drones, but GW fixed that right away.

I just realized this. Our crisis suits are relentless, and they can take up to 3-4 weapons (4 for commander). That is a lot of dakka. Can you imagine an AFP, a cyclic ion blaster, and a burst cannon? 3 shots at str 7, 4 shots at st 5, and a large blast template at BS 5?     

On top of this you can take a self-destruct and get another large blast once the crisis suit dies.
As far as I can see you cannot do that. You can take 4 weapons but can only fire 2 per turn. Two sets of twin linked Plasma might work or a Plasma with twin linked Plasma.

Reread relentless and I think Ill retract my statement. Makes more sense to twin link something and give them a support system.
