I picked up the latest No Quarter today and perused the new Battle Engines rules as well as the rules for the khador gun carriage and I have to say, I'm underwhelmed. I think its points are accurate at 9 but I guess my expectations were that they would come in at something like 12-15 pts, be a little tougher than your average warjack/warbeast, and pack some umph.
I think the size of these models and all the rules making them so easy to hit are going to make it hard to vindicate using them. For example, NQ35 says you'll want to play carefully with these models, acknowledging their "brittleness". However with the gun carriages heavy guns having a range of 12", not only will you be forced to put it in range of just about everything that can charge, you'll have to spend a lot of effort to protect it.
I talk in more detail about it on my new blog: [url]http://warhed.6sided.net/[/url]
What do you guys and gals think? Can you see yourself fielding something like this on the battlefield?
