Per title. Just trying to gauge whether it’s worth picking some up to diversify heavy hitting anti-tank and monster in my list.
By default I’d always assumed a Gladiator Lancer or Ballistus would be the best in this category, but recently been thinking about potential infantry alternatives.
My lists almost always include hellblasters and sternguard, which would negate some of the heavy hitting/anti elite shooting eradicators could produce otherwise. I wouldn’t be planning on having a transport for a unit of these either. Maybe just parking them close to an objective, and when the opportunity presents itself jump out, shoot a heavy, and hope they survive.
What stands out the most to me, and what I’ve been considering recently is the points cost. 90pts for a unit of 3 sounds incredible trading wise. They could jump out, delete a tank or monster with their re rolls, and if they don’t make it to the next turn they’ve very likely removed a threat worth more than their points cost?
Any thoughts? Or experiences with them? Would love to hear any advice!
