Flying Friday: Storm Talon Gunship

We are changing Fridays to Flyer Fridays because air support has become a huge part of warhammer tactics in 6th edition.Therefore they deserve their own spot on our blog. So on Fridays we are going to talk about anything that flies for example: flying monstrous creatures, fast skimmers, Chariots, or flyers. I have recently purchased a storm talon. Storm Talons are flyers for the space marine army and I have mine painted up for Black Templars. I am going to run it most of the time with twin linked lascanon and twin linked assault cannon. Storm Talons are great because they can contest objectives in a hurry due to their 36" movement. Storm Talons are not to be taken lightly and the only effective way to take them down is other flyers if you can get the drop on them and weapons that have the skyfire special rule.

         

Warhammer magic vs new warhammer 40k psychics

Well, I've been doing some looking around, and I've found a lot of mixed feelings about the new 40k psychic stuff. Some people are ecstatic about the change to be more like fantasy, whereas others say the magic is the reason they didn't do fantasy, and instead did 40k in the first place. I fall under the first group. Being a fantasy high elf player, I love magic, and I love winning... Mostly magic though. So when I heard my tyranids were gonna be getting something close to my high elf's magic, I leapt for joy. Seeing as there are quite a few different psykers I can take (some even as troops) I expect to be dealing a good bit of punishment during the psychic phase, or if it's just part of the shooting, the shooting phase. One thing I am unsure about though. Do you get all powers in the discipline, or do you roll for them? Answer me in the comments guys. Remember, everyone here at Warhammer, Life, and Soda loves you!
