Repressor usage
« on: March 16, 2003, 05:40:35 PM »
Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone uses the repressor in games? (for those of you who do't know about the repressor, check out the forge world site, or the 'imperial armour update' book).

I had the chance, but it was a battle against thousand sons, so didn't see it as a usable vehicle.
Anyways, I like the model (*sweeeet*), but I was wondering whether or not these were worth it on the field.

Also, with the pintle-mounted heavy flamer option, do you feel that the repressor or immolator becomes obsolete?

So in short: what's your view on the repressor's battlefield preformance, and how it affects the composition and options in the army?

I think its about as useful as an Immolater: not very.  It still has crap for armor, making it, basically, a Rhino that's worth more points.  So it really doesn't get a chance to show off its offensive prowness because it gets shot up too fast (by any experienced opponent).

Well, if they updated the rules so that a few squads of 20-man reds could block LOS to a vehicle, they'd be far better.

Frozen - Its not how good the enemy is.  Its how good you aren't that determines whether or not your tanks make it into range.

True... the scatter means you can have it right in front of the enemy tank, and it still won't hit!  :)
