Some excellent points there man, I had completely forgotten to offset the cost against the basic upgrade, which as you point out really ups their estimation. Thanks as always for the astute vision :)<br /><br />There are some bloody good formations, though totally agreed on the Skyhammer! Maybe it just represents the general working mind of a 7ft tall piece of killing meat... Duuuuh we could call it skyhammer again boss? Good thinking vinny! Skyhammer it is!<br /><br />I think the thing about these formations is that they have managed to take normal units and really add a shit tonne of flavour to them. They make some of the other formations for recent releases taste a bit bland to my senses in retrospect. Though I still like the character of a lot of the Blood Angels Shield of Baal formations, though none are as tasty as these.Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-78683674686502952462015-10-28T16:40:10.184+00:002015-10-28T16:40:10.184+00:00Raven's Fury is an absolute bargain. If it wer...Raven's Fury is an absolute bargain. If it were an upgrade to an existing Jump Pack, it'd be terrible, but as-is, it's basically a freebie. Similar deal with SwiftStrike & Murder. They're only five more Points than a normal pair of Lightning Claws, which isn't bad for Flurry at all. Toss in some BA Allies for Quickening and Unleash Rage (and probably Prescience or some other form of re-roll) for some real fun :)<br /><br />The Formations are the really fun part, tho. The Raptor Wing is going to get Allied into my BA all the time, since I totally think they should have Storm Talons anyhow. The SkyHammer (OK, GW needs to start coming up with new names. That's two Formations and a Weapon all called SkyHammer :P ) also looks pretty cool, especially in Emperor's Will where you can put the Dropsite counter on the other dude's Objective. RavenHawk is cool against Opponents who rely on a single DeathStar Unit for most of their power, meh against MSU. BladeWing and ShadowStrike are just straight-up cool.<br /><br />I was thinking of a bunch of cool options for Wayfinders, but then I noticed that it only works with other Units from that Formation. No Outflanking Ignores Cover Vindicators ;)WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877289116827690457noreply@blogger.com
