Yeh, Gargants let it all hang out. :)
I've only used the Vortex missles a couple of times, against Eldar
titans. Never even noticed the shield trashing capability before sending
my last post. On paper, the Vortex looks very good.
Gut Buster vs. Vortex is the age old question. Is it better to use
powerfull one shot weapons, hoping to knock an opponent out early, or
use a weapon with muli-turn staying power.
That's what I like about this NET EPIC board, lots of good, and varied
opinions by intelligent players.
We'll see what happens next time I play.
