That was kinda my point I guess. So 48 Shots, 24 Hit, 16.66% chance per shot to glance so statisticly you should get 4 glances. Start putting PE in there and your chances go up to 28 hits or 4.666 glances. I tend to go with 20 so that is 60 shots, 30 hit @5 glances. With PE 60 shots, 35 hit so you should get 5.8 Glances. (quick calculations so correct me if I am wrong.)

Starting to think about the viability of a 1000pt army with 2 units of 20 Devguants, a flyrant with TL Dev/LW/BS with OA and Deathleaper.

It could get real intresting real fast.

I might have to make even more spores...

core: I think they ditched that in one of the three latest books, but since forgeworld is one of the most awkward companies in respect of what they're actually selling I'm not really sure. it's not like there's any information about where you get the information.

It's current one is ground based only. I checked, it made me sad.

Run it with a Flyrant. Have them both take skyfire, and there is your AA.

Just stinger salvo, which means you won't be shooting your good gun that turn.

Yes you have to maneuver it behind or side for it to work.
