I recently picked up a Revenant Titan for dirt cheap - mostly painted and assembled too!
Can some one who has the book tell me if the book is worth picking up to field this guy, or his is not really usable?
As the book is a very good price even if it is FW I can really recommend it.
My Impressions after a closer look:
- Corsair infantry looks very nice. The Jump stuff is great.
- Corsair bikes look as if they would replace my windriders completely. More flexible and decent in "CC" due to pistols
- My Hornets will need testing as they no longer can perform the role I bought them for. But currently the price tag is pulling me down massively.
- The Warp Hunters might just find a place. But mostly because I will be looking as I have a few.
- Both the Nightwing and the Phoenix will see board time. Because I beslubbering bought a lot of them and I don't care that FW gutted them. I will see my NW formations on the table, maybe.
- They forgot the stats for the Firestorm AA tank
- The Shadow spectres and the Knight will be a bad surprise for other players. I like them both. However the spectres changed purpose again. I don't like it when such things happen. A Unit has a purpose and it should stick to it because the fluff is written for that purpose and a unit should stay in the fluff.
- My super-heavies will go to the boxes or I will postpone buying them until further notice... They have value in the game but the points price tag is not worth discussing.
Summary:
All in all I am happy to have the book for this RL price.
Generally all units seem to have a tactical value, even if it is minute or horrifically overpriced. I hate the costs assigned to the units and equipment, to me it feels like they did not put much thought in that.
I don't regret buying it but are slightly disappointed.

I read it like this.
Operating with retracted wings gives you:
- Bonus for advancing (if you do so)
- Bonus invuln as long as wings are retracted (advancing or not)
- the Hard to hit rule
Operating with extended wings gives you
- the the easier shoot
- you loose Hard to hit.
No need to self-censor, the forum will do that for you - Iris.
