Things to do when you're away from home for two weeks due to work and stuck in a hotel room: A) Drink heavily B) Things which are best not repeated at home C) Pack and ship yourself a box of Elysian models, hobby tools and glue and spend your non-study hours building an army. I can neither confirm nor deny A and B, but yes, C is taking place - I've put together my Company Command squad along with two Bodyguards and a Fleet Officer (finally found a use for that Battle For Maccrage Imperial Officer guy), three Tarantula Lascannon platforms and am 60% through a Special Weapons Sniper squad. I also brought three Tauros, 2 Sentinels, a Heavy Weapons Missile Launcher team, and a pack of Veterans to flesh out an already-started-but-short-on-guys Veterans squad. Yes, kids, I'm working my way to a playable 1850 point army so I can actually put these guys on the table and try them. Only one of the army will be painted, but hey, I have to start somewhere, right?

20d6, Str 5, re-rolling misses Just curious... 20 shots S5 AP- BS3 Twin-Linked20 shots @ BS3 = 10 hits 10 misses re-rolled @ BS3 = 5 hits, 15 total Vs MEQ15 hits, S5 on T4 = 10 wounds 10 wounds saving on 3+ = 7 saves 3 Dead MEQsVs GEQ15 hits, S5 on T3 = 12 wounds 12 wounds saving on 5+ = 4 saves or 12 wounds saving on 4+ = 6 saves Between 6 and 8 dead GEQsSo, on average a lot better than a normal Punisher cannon, however because it's BS3 and doesn't have an AP value, I think that weapon choice definitely speaks more to aesthetics than effectiveness. However, nothing says "DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA" more than throwing 20 re-rollable dice at your opponent! ;D

Yeah, it's definitely less in the "deadly tabletop asset" realm and more in the "check out the spectacle of this bucket o' dice" arena.

Squad 3 up - realizing they don't have any place to go, really, but I'm still painting away.
