We operate far in advance of the main forces on this continent. we have our own supply systems, command and control, Intel and comms net. we find our own targets, identify the key priorities and destroy them ourslves.
we are an army within and apart from an "Army".
so why do we ned a Deathstike? an ICBM at our permanent disposal? well... one word.
TITANS.
we face the most diverse range of threats in the galaxy. we never know what will be thrown at us next. It takes almost a full ten minutes to contact plantary command, and how long after that till we can expect some serious support? i have our Deathstrike on permanant standby. by the time the call has gone to HQ, they have processed it, sent it to the Deathstrike battery, that battery has made rady to fire, the missile has left the launcher, traveled halfway over the continent and hit the titan, stompa formation or whatever... or more likley hit where they were an hour ago, we are wiped out. the whole AF(R), gone.
so if we spot a major enemy formation, heavy vehicles or even large camp, one vox call gets our bird in the air.
so thats why I'v got a Deathstrike."General Enoch Biakal
now the geek bit:
the manticore/deathstrike kit is possibly the most average new kits in the IG range. in a stable containing the new hellhound, thenew and improved Leman Russ and Chimera and the frankly special Sentinel, the kit itself is slightly lacklustre and plain.
its very difficult to do much with it customisation wise as you dont get many freebies. still, i sort of fancied a DS if only for an objective for a special battle. so when i got the opportunity to get one cheap after a special deal i took it.
its not that amazingly detailed but i never fancy doing much with the interior so i suppose its my fault sort of...
what i DID do is have a brainwave: im not going to use the deathstrike much, but i might want to use the chimera that i use as a hydra.... soo why not build yet ANOTHER hydra mount?
this should free up the other chimera should i need it...
