“How many Shuriken Cannons in that squad?”
- Image from warhammer.com
My Reviews are behind - I might be posting a lot in quick succession.
Hey everyone. If you check my blog recently, then you will see that I spent quite some time in the hospital and this ended up with an eventual surgery. The surgery went well and I am on my way to full recovery.
But I have fallen behind on my 40k Reviews. I know I won't earn much from posting many posts in one day, but I would really just like to get all the reviews done for these factions before I am too late and the Indexes are replaced by the Codex entries.
I want to be able to analyze what is lost and what is gained.
I am back at home from the hospital and I am basically laying on my back. I can at least sit/lay and blog and catch up where I can.
Even though I am posting a lot and the main focus is to post, not earn, I will not switch earnings off. This is part of a Hobby Fund and Fund Raiser so those that want to upvote me are welcome to!
Fund Raiser - Helping a friend with funding for a Wedding!
This post is part of the current Fund Raiser where a friend has given me an offer to buy a collection of Warhammer models, the money will go to putting down deposits for his wedding arrangements.
After that I have two other hobby debts to sort out.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
The total remaining is $485!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review.
Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
618 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #253, I am 365 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
Aeldari, Wave Windriders
10th Edition Index
Windriders are fast Jetbikes that are fairly cheap and can carry either Anti-Light Infantry or Anti-Heavy Infantry.
As a Space Marine player, I am afraid of the Shuriken Cannons in that number...
These bikes come in 3's. A squad of 3 for 80pts, 4-6 of them for 160pts and 7-9 of them for 240pts.
A box of 3 bikes costs $60
Let's check their stats.
Stats
Movement 14"
Toughness 4
Save 3+ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 2
Ld 6+
OC 2
Weapons
Standard weapon is a Twin Shuriken Catapult and any number of bikes can exchange this for one of the following:
- Starcannon
- Scatterlaser
Ranged Weapons
Twin Shuriken Catapult
18" Range, 2 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S4, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.
Twin-linked (This weapon can re-roll to Wound rolls)
Assault (This weapon can be fired after this unit has Advanced)
Scatter Laser
36" Range, 6 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Shuriken Cannon
36" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S6, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.
Sustained Hits 1 (Rolls of a 6 to Hit cause an additional Hit)
Melee Weapons
Close Combat Weapon
3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S3, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Abilities
Swift Demise
When this unit makes ranged attacks against the closest eligible target, you can re-roll to Hit rolls of 1. If the target unit is within an objective that the enemy controls you can re-roll all Hit rolls.
Thoughts
Right. So 3x Shuriken Cannons for 80pts vs 5 Intercessors standing out of cover on top of an objective. They cost 80pts as well.
9 Shots. Full Re-rolls, this averages in 8-9 hits, and 5-6 Wounds.
The Space Marines go from 3+ save to 4+ This means that 3-4 Space Marines are dead.
As long as the Space Marines are their closest target. They can do this at a range of 36".
That makes 55 Aeldari Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 91.66% Completed. The total Completed is 27.62% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
