FINALLY HE COVERS THE FUNNY COLLOSSUS GUN, MY FAVORITE MORTAL WOUND CANNON IN THE GUARD (I killed the silent king, a taunar, multiple redemptors and multiple tanks with it)
@@Steelstriker if that's intentional, then why not keep the thunderer to that instead of the colossus? And I know it's probably so expensive because it's on a Russ chassis, but it looses all the secondary weapons and the ability is kinda pants, so why so expensive? If it's going to need to move to get LoS either it's ability shouldn't conflict with that or it should be cheaper and be useful as a "distraction russ" promising a big hit on a tough chassis for cheap that's secretly not actually going to hit quite so hard despite its intimidating gun
It sounds like a cheap, pseudo area denial vehicle. If paired with an exterminator giving it withering hail, a scout sentinels daring recon, and a lone operative techpriest to give it a 4+ invuln if it repairs, you could have an annoying vehicle that punishes almost anything that gets caught in the open. It feels like something that would be right at home screening out on a flank with good line of sight on a center objective.
120" direct fire only. *facepalm* I also think it's a fluff fail that it isn't anti-fortification 4+. It would barely ever come up, and would add so much character to it.
as a new collector (I litteraly started making my 1st box this week) I would kill for one of these things since it seems like an absurdly powerful tool for locking down a flank
Sadly a very rare thing to see these days. Gave up my passions To try to make you happy. Is what i think when i see all the old school arty that got nerfed or just removed guard used to have like the griffon heavy mortar to name one
I would love you to do some agony aunt style content where people sent you lists &/or problems and you explain why its not working, or what there list is supposed to do and how to improve it competitively or more towards its win condition
I do loads of list reviews in the Livestreams :) I do them there because I can have a back and forth with the viewer and it adds a lot of context to the situation they are in
@@MordianGlory Good idea, I tend not to be available for streams due to life commitments which is probably why i missed them, do you have any plans to upload these clips on TH-cam? Would love to watch!
It may not be worth it, cause it’s so incredibly swingy, but I have a thing where I always roll 5s, and nobody expects this thing to be good so I just sit it in the middle of my deployment zone with good line of sight and watch something get an average of 15 mortal wounds get done to it
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the difference between a colossus and a bombard that a colossus is built on a chimera, while a bombard is built on the Leman Russ chassis?
they could have made this thing into a sturmtiger antibunker and anti infantry thing but went with some kinda of weird direct fire choice with mediocre bonus's for vehicles and monsters? seems like a missed opportunity...
just seeing the thumbnail made me laugh out loud, who on earth approved this hideous sculpt? also it looks as though it would structurally fail on the first shot
This is the classic example of GW writing nonsensical rules. strength 6 and D6+2 damage?? WTF. If they wanted to make it make a grain of sense at least make it twin linked so you can be somewhat reassured you will get at least ONE devastating wound. Honestly
What a horrible shooting profile. Nothing about it makes sense. Something else you didn't mention is that if you remain stationary, you gain lethal hits... which is actually bad for it because you're reducing the possible dev wounds rolls.
“See that eyesore of a fortification?”
“Yes, sir.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Yes, sir.”

Wild that this doesn't have indirect fire. I wonder if that's an oversight
The dominus triple bombard does get indirect, so I assume it was a mistake
I dont think so. I think they traded the indirect fire for devasting wounds and its anti - vehicle/ monster +5

One thing is that dev wounds no longer splash due to an Errata (damn aeldari).
Doesn’t matter we’re killing a knight with this thing

Not a single day passes where I don't miss my dear thunderers...
Evidence of a FW model that wasn't reconsidered for 10th. Should definitely be S8+ AP-3, Indirect.
120" direct fire only. *facepalm*
I also think it's a fluff fail that it isn't anti-fortification 4+. It would barely ever come up, and would add so much character to it.
I think it should be able to remove terrain.
Oh they are behind an L shaped ruin?
LOAD ANTI ROCKCRETE!
I hope now that FW has been pretty much absorbed by GW that the rules for these whacky units it looked at with more care
The guard need an artillery spotter unit.
The master of ordinance is what you're looking for mi amigo
He's literally just a FO
For being a 'Bunker Buster's it's got a pretty weak stat line. Except for the damage...

Current stats: Abbadon or mortarian giving you a hard time constantly? Bring two of these. Back to the warp fiend!

The best part is when you shoot it, the vehicle does a backflip!
Tempted to try them in a 8 Russ list sad they dont have sponsons but they are probably better then all the 160 pt russes
Are you able to get around having only 6 battle line units if it’s the diff leman Russ variants? Cuz that’d be like 36 leman russ
@@tomsonlarrson3318I do believe they all count as different units
What!?!? NO INDIRECT?!? That’s stupid!

The big chungus cannon

yup
they also had different rules in older editions
I don't even think it would make it too strong if it was indirect fire. it would just be a good anti inventory artillery peace.
D6 shots for a cannon wider than a demolisher is round 😂😭
It is a machine of a bygone time?
What the mechanicus forget how to make BIG EFFING mortars?
Whoever did the stats for this thing knows nothing of artillery lol
I think id rather have the eradicator....
they could have made this thing into a sturmtiger antibunker and anti infantry thing but went with some kinda of weird direct fire choice with mediocre bonus's for vehicles and monsters? seems like a missed opportunity...
WHAT THE FRACK IS THAT THUMBNAIL
Be nice if it had indirect fire
noice
S6 and anti vehicle/monster 5+ if stationary...160 points, not indirect.
That's just bad
yeah not being indirect really kills it for me

Dear MG. Please stop calling mortars artillery. We are infantry.
It triggers me every time I hear it.
Mortars are a type of artillery in modern vernacular. You can get peeved about it, but we aren't living in the 1800's-1920's anymore.
@@raistlarn He might mean how in the American Army, mortarmen are designated as infantrymen (11C being an 11 series MOS).
I love my Mortars, they are my favourite artillary
@@MordianGlory Take it back sir. I Say, Take it back! We are not artillary!
@@raistlarn In the modern vernacular and tables of origination, We very much are not artillery.
see that fortification? i want it gooooone
