So it is necessary to make squadrons of tanks to maximize the twin linking, and the commander lets you split shots & improve BS . As such he is a great addition as a second tank boost- the first being our friend Pask off course! derreavatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903985256530226204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-67969160812492930202014-07-12T01:20:59.100+10:002014-07-12T01:20:59.100+10:00A very excellent article as always. Anyway, i who...A very excellent article as always. Anyway, i whould NEVER take a tank commander, if i take only one, because Pask with the gatling is so much badass he can destroy whole armies alone if you let him - and it has happened to me in the past. Just twin link him somehow and let him kill everything from horde to fliers to heavy armour . The difference in price is so low it is out of question which one is better. If you are going on allies, however, you do not gain his commander trait, and so maybe it is better to go for the cheapest HQ on the codex. <br /><br />Also if you are going with meltaveterans, maybe on chimeras, it makes sense to take a tank commander instead of a CC- because you are taking che CC only for the special weapons, as you have very few squads to give orders to . <br /><br />Air cavalry on the other hand, needs command squads for the special weapons and reduced bodies so they can be fielded in a Vendetta. <br /><br />Also, a commander is good with an eradicator as the other tansk. they are acting as extra hull points. <br /><br />I love how the Leman Russ are played in 7th edition and in the new codex, they are truly engines of death, and for the cheap. I just take as many multimelta and lascannons as possible, and keep the base cost low , or take a more expensive tank without any extra weapons, so it is not easy for the opponet to choose what to shoot at.derreavatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903985256530226204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-72034587538533011882014-07-12T00:50:41.624+10:002014-07-12T00:50:41.624+10:00I would say one of the benefits of taking a tank c...I would say one of the benefits of taking a tank commander over the other HQ choices is for ally purposes. Having potentially 6 tanks with 2 vet squads for a battle forged army can be pretty sick, especially for other imperial armies that definitely need the heavy firepower, like grey knights or sisters. Or 9 Demolisher cannons when paired with SMs, with a chapter master for another 1 shot S 10 blast :D It's overkill, but so much fun to think of the potential!anvilward88https://www.blogger.com/profile/07165004378991876552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-64151668648433349652014-07-11T23:34:15.327+10:002014-07-11T23:34:15.327+10:00The main cannon provides three S7 AP2 small blasts...The main cannon provides three S7 AP2 small blasts with Gets Hot, the plasma cannon sponsons provide an additional two S7 AP2 small blasts with Gets Hot. 5 plasma cannon shots for the win!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199060698563105464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-84201714896701415802014-07-11T21:54:48.831+10:002014-07-11T21:54:48.831+10:00How does an executioner get 5 shots instead of thr...How does an executioner get 5 shots instead of three.
