They are functionally identical, except the silo gets 4+ (not reinforced) instead of 5+ armour in exchange for a 25pt higher price tag and becoming immobile. This is just 16% more likely to stop a hit than a Steel legion DS, so imagine it as a dug in launcher rather than the super heavy silo of the past. It is nothing like as survivable as the old silo; in the most recent playtest it was killed in an assault by 6 Tau stealth suits before it even got to fire fight

Hi Matt,
if I understand the list correct you can choose to get a Formation of Death Strike Missile Launcher or a Deathstrike Silo.
If you choose the Death Strike Missile Launcher you get "one Death Korps Deathstrike Missile Launcher" with:
2x Deathstrike Missiles Unlimited MW2+, TK(D6), One-Shot, Indirect
2x Heavy Bolters 30cm AP5+
and an armour of 5+
One formation of one unit, right?
In the Steel Legion list you get one Deathstrike Battery (Two Deathstrikes) with
Deathstrike Missile Unlimited MW2+, Ind, SS, TK(D6)
Heavy Bolter 30cm AP5+
and an armour of 6+
One Formation of two units, right?
Would it not be easier for all if the mobile Death Korps Deathstrike Missile Launcher would be simply the same Deathstrike Battery (Two Deathstrikes) you get in the Steel legion list. Even the model makes more sense with one rocket each, does it not?
Cheers
Ole
