first i have to admit i havent played WHFB since the the beginning of this edition. But have been playing since 3rd ed. I played in a tournament and played against a Goblin army, wood elves and Dark Elves. My score was 1/1/1. In the first battle the tank mainly served as a terror causing road block for the goblins. By games end my tank was down to 3 wounds. The second battle went completely different, but mainly because I setup wrong. I got to close to the treeman instead of marching down the middle and taking on all the shooters. by games end treeman bash it to pieces. The third game went my way all the way, although in 3 games my cannon never managed to hit a thing. I did manage to charge and run down maneous manflayer or what ever his name. by games end the tank was down to 2 wounds left.
I guess my question is that GW has made the toughness less and how does it fight in Close cmbt. If I use all my steam points in my turn then on the next turn I have to stand there and take it. but it still costs 300 pnts. Also where did the hel blaster version go?
