WHATS THE MODEL?

Rapier laser platform


PRICE?

a sort of ok £25



WHATS THE THINKING THEN?




4 GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS MODEL:

1. zzzzzzaaap!
2. looks very detailed
3. about time the Guard got some FW love
4. retro design looks like the old thudd gun

6 SHIT THINGS ABOUT THIS MODEL

1. price
2. it looks far to G.I Joe. google GI Joe S.L.A.M
3. what no Aquilla?
4. not really "possible", even in the 40k sci-fi setting
5. maybe too retro? no one wants heresy era guard.
6. look, they really fucking dont.

LONG STORY SHORT...
while it brings some "pew pew pew" to the guard, A i cant use it in my main army (Armoured Company) and B its rules are a bit meh... while S9 ordanace is ok, and twin linked, itsrange is piss poor, and with BS3 your gonna need that TL. i might possibly get one, or even try to build one (wish i'd not sold that thunderfire cannon now) just cos a bit of anti heavy tank dakka is always handy, but as a HS slot its a bit of a price to pay. but 40pts does mean it is useable in small games, and adding it to the guards low priced hydra and griffon, and giving them a chance at smaller games.
im not sure about the retro design, but it does have a charm. using cadian troops on the pictures is surprising, as it cries out for Krieg.

the best i can offer is; might be worth a look...
