I will test the bomber hopefully in the following week. I presume no one else ever used it? I'm just curious if it's not overpowered (seems like it can survive 3 rounds and place 6BP anywhere each turn)or the other way around - too costly.

You have to be aware that enemy aircraft will no doubt go after it. It may survive 3 turns, however it may not always play a full 3 turns due to Blast Markers keeping it off a table.

With very little to minimal AA protecting it from the rear, only a 5+ RA save, a critical hit killing the thing outright, and enemy interceptors or CAPs gaining a +1 to shoot, I daresay that you will soon start to review your stance on it's value. Make sure you can protect it with ground flak, as there is no way to fully protect it with aircraft as CAP cannot intercept an enemy CAP.

That's why I don't have a stance on it yet. It's very expensive beasty. Somehow I'll need to take on the enemy fighters quickly.
Probably hold out one CAP attack and the try to use intercept with the Hellblades of helltalons. I just don't want to pass any judgement or add it to the list without knowing that the b-16 was tested enough. For know nobody seems to have used it at all. :glare:

Any chance of a new thread with whatever changes are going where?

Really, which one has? I would have thought based on Chaotic activity it would be Frogbear or Steve, with Neal and Hena already occupied?

Yes, it's being worked on.  Steve54 who is currently the "Chaos Cultist Armies" Champion, and is the EpicUK Chaos Champion, is being positioned to become the NetEA over-all "Chaos Champion" in the near future.

Lord_Inquisitor is being asked to focus on the Inquisition Armies as head Champion of that section of NetEA armies.

Negotiations and such are almost complete, with the delays mainly being my fault.

Thanks for your patience!

This is a good start

Thanks Chroma for posting this to the thread. It would be good to have an overall AC available that can guide the various developments  :agree:

Thumbs up to seeing an active Chaos Champion again!
