I can pick you up if you like mate? I'm coming from Birmingham so Redditch is sorta on the way

List advice Question.
I'll be fielding 1 contemptor dreadnought and im debating what weapons to use
Choices:
Option 1 - Two Kheres Assault cannons (2 x 6 shots AP4 S6 Rending Range 24") and Cyclone Missile Launcher
Or
Option 2 - Two twin linked lascannons and Cyclone Missile Launcher
main role would be anti flyer but the argument for the kheres is that they work well as anti infantry too.
thoughts?
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Nick1988 - 25-01-2013
I kinda think your relying on the flyers being close enough with the assault cannons. In most cases if something's within 24" for you to shoot it, it's probably shot you first and with the necron flyers being pretty powerful it might be best to swat them down before they get close
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - The Count - 25-01-2013
yeah I prefer the las cannon option due to the range. I assume they are skyfire AND interceptor?
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Embolden - 25-01-2013
Hey guys cheers for the offers of lifts! Weather permitting of course!
Option2 on the dread, the assault cannons are deadly, so will give board comtrol, but can be avoided with ease, there is no escaping the lascannons and I think the las add much needed range to the list when not facing flyers

Looks like theres no more snow due! Woohoo! Matt where do you live? I can fly by yours on Sunday morning to grab the Orks for Rob if you like? Save you dropping them off (if you were planning too)
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - The Count - 25-01-2013
Yeah I am off Sunday but (see above) will be at home. Sure I will fish them out tomorrow and will text my address
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Simian - 25-01-2013
Yep when the dread doesn't move it gains sky fire and interceptor. As you say the lascannon add range. And with bs5 and twin linked you don't miss often.
I'm sold on the lascannon I think.
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Embolden - 26-01-2013
Hey guys, sorry defo cannot make it tomorrow now
RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Nick1988 - 26-01-2013
