Having a 2+/2+ to kill a daemon prince in a single shot isn't something to sniff at. <br /><br />If it was a straight choice between hammerheads and broadsides then you know for me broadsides have always won. However, you can still field both and I'm still not sold on the Sky Ray no matter how much I want to be!From The Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043549318855295914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290806675829794805.post-23921749776648573892013-04-22T18:22:28.664+01:002013-04-22T18:22:28.664+01:00Agree on point one.

They shoot you're suits. As for the large blast, yes it's good, But HYMPs are better at taking out infantry at range (up to 36" at least). <br /><br />As for Big Guns, well Broadsides and skyrays can do that too. <br /><br />The only HH that's worth it is with longstrike IMHO, and that's too expensive....!<br /><br />But it's all theory hammer at the moment..... Needs play testing.<br /><br />EYIGEmbrace Your Inner Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175279670690377675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290806675829794805.post-19815771155771751942013-04-21T23:09:51.902+01:002013-04-21T23:09:51.902+01:00Why hammerheads are good.

The potential of the main gun scares people that they'll do a lot to kill it, and with that disruption pod they'll try for a while.<br /><br />2.) Big Guns Never Tire. Hammerheads so far for me have been one of the best heavy supports to capture objectives. Recently had a game where I had two, and both in the last two turns were able to go where they wanted to catch those vital 3 pointers.<br /><br />Those points alone are pretty good, the submunitions blast is great at clearing infantry, and as for th overcharging of the Ion cannon, you only suffer a hull point on a 1-3 roll of a D6. On a 4+ its ignored. So far the Hammerhead has been gold in my force, and will be a staple for many games to come!Death By Diehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984537406530437726noreply@blogger.com
