Hi,
Yesterday i played a game, where we proxied things. I had Dark Eldar allies (not a single model in our FLGC), so it was a perfect opportunity to try something fun. i fielded Baron Sathonyx + Hellions as troops and a Voidraven Bomber and Scourges. Plus i don't have the Wraithlord -model, so i i tried that one too. Wraithlord got vaporized pretty quickly with GK-deathstar fire + a Vindicare Assassin Hellfire round, so, not much to tell on that :) . Scourges were dropped on target, behind his transport (GK basic transport) and did 1 glancing hit, with Haywire-blaster, Blaster and a Dark Lance....so quess what happened next round? Correct-a-mundo, total devastation. Baron and his cronies were fun to play and very versatile. I harassed his GK -deathstar and once things went bad, hit&ran, but threw a 1 when trying to take Grandmaster with me (DUH!). I jumped 17 inches and on the next round took down the assassin. They held their own to the turn 4, when i was Linebreaking AND denying his objective, but 2+ invl. save will go only so far, when facing 20-30 shots of basic bolter fire...Bomber was great on the first 2 rounds, Void mine took down 3-5 from his deathstar and couple of missiles did damage to his troops,but...i should have flown out of the board, but it was a first time using a flier, so (DAM-DA-DAM-DAM)...
All and all, iīm thinking delaying my Hornet purchase and thinking of Baron + 10 hellions. Have you used them,if so, do you like the point cost/deliverance?
ps. I don't seem to find the model for the Baron in (at least in Finnish) Games Workshop, is it out of production or something?
