They got moved from 5+ in the compendium to 6+ in the stats above. Not sure your point about 4+ is coming from other than perhaps THawk gunships which isn't what I'm discussing. AFAIK, they're always 5+. That being said, their woefully undercosted so far so in that, we're in agreement, sir.

FF 5+ is probably fair, after all its basically the firepower of a razorback or two then in each direction if the guns are covering the transports arcs during the air assault. Keep the 4+ for the gunship which will be employing its cannon etc.

I think we're all happy to see the cost go up.

Are we in agreement to commence testing on:

Type Speed Armour Close Combat Firefight
WE, Aircraft Bomber 4+ 5+ 6+
Weapon Range Firepower Notes
Heavy Bolter Array 15cm 2 x AA5+
Notes: DC2, Reinforced Armour, Transport: (2 Rhino chassis vehicles or 1 Land Raider chassis vehicle, in addition it may carry any infantry transported in those vehicles). Critical Hit Effect: The Thunderhawk’s control surfaces are damaged. The pilot loses control and the Thunderhawk crashes to the ground, killing all on board.The entire Thunderhawk Transporter formation is counted as one War Engine for the War Engine transport rule (e.g. one transported formation can be split between multiple aircraft within one Thunderhawk Transporter formation)

I like it

Sounds good to me. I've adjusted the design in the first post of this thread.

A quick note that we somehow dropped the Planetfall note off the BT Thunderhawk Transport (and other TH variants) -starting as far back as the Army Lists Compendium 2014. The NetEA Tournament Pack 2013-08-07 still has Planetfall in the THT for Scions (page 92 of the PDF file).

Especially the THT should have the Planetfall incl (would be odd for THT for one army to have it and not for another) given that it would likely be deploying with other planetfalling detachments.

Additionally, given that BT does not have a Devastator firebase (and what army "covers and moves" without the "covers" fire) and would be reliant on supporting it's assault termies which have zero AT with a TH Inderdictor, the TH chassis variants should have Planetfall. (It is less of a weapon/payload configuration and more of a inherent chassis/vehicle capability.)

My two cents towards our rules!

That would be a document error not intended. All thunderbricks have planetfall.
