Well, I drew this with the inclusion of the Deathstrike in the latest 40K Guard Codex, but it holds equally true for Epic.

Of course we could have a deep and meaningfull discussion of the nature of the sliding ground scale in Epic when compared to other Sci-fi rule sets in the 40K universe...

But it is all a bit silly really!

My favorite weirdness came about in a somewhat recent game with Fortis.

A squad of Terminators charged into combat with my Leman Russ formation. The Deathstrikes on overwatch had clear LOS. Nothing else on the opposing side was a real threat, so I fired.

Two huge intercontinental ballistic missiles. Into 10 terminators in base contact with an MBT.

Talk about pinpoint precision. Even without warheads, these things should have totalled the tank.

That's funny.  The same argument could be made far artillery in general, of course.

Indeed Mephiston, but sliding ground scale is too much of a headache to pick holes in.  Though I am genuinely interested in illustrating what exactly sliding ground scale means for the sake of educating people.

Someone over on Warseer very cleverly pointed out a 40K Guard army can field more Deathstrikes than an Epic one.  Hee hee!
