well worth the points i bet is its legal is another question

did anyone ever use a cyclone missile launcher, is it worth it?
Close combat, yesss... :p It's a lot of fun to close-assault an AFV with that setup! But I think I'd switch the flamer or thunder hammer for an assault cannon..they're lethal.

Cyclone missile launchers - don't we just luuuv rocket artillery? :p (should I change name to Nebelwerfer?) They are fun, but I don't think having a mobile rocket platform justifies the loss of an "ordinary" terminator. Really, you can do without it but if you really need heavy artillery, there's better alternatives - e.g. a Whirlwind, Land Raider, Dreadnought, Razorback or whatever.

I disagree the idea of 12 Krak rockets, all fired at once at your opponents prize tank, applease to me, remebmer when u fire more than one your get a template effect, growinf 1/2 inch with each additional missile, even teh toughest tank would ahve a hard time survuvung unscathed again one of them, hits in as many locations as you care to mention.

my favourite tank was the hellhound, really aggressive.

shame i dont play anymore really should get back in

Use two assault cannons... cut through infantry real fast. :D Don't use cyclones, as it wastes the terminators close combat potential, put rocket launchers on cybots instead. Did anybody ever use the Eversor assassin?

Yep, both in 2nd and 3rd ED 40K. He ROCKED in 2nd and is still quite good for the points in 3rd ED.

Didn´t know you played Games Workshop as well:)

Found the length setting, thanks. But one more problem I have is that when I do a print scrn and paste it to paint, the colors are not the same as the game colors. I wonder what could be wrong.

But this is real war so it's good to get away from RTS once in awhile.
I remembar a very long and interesting thread on this forum about RTS and IGOUGO turn based wargame.

For me turn based are better. ;)

EPIC WARHAMMER 40.000, I've a lot of models waiting to be painted... :(
