------> This is distinctly underhanded and sneaky. 4 Warhound
Bombards...
It's the 4th Light Bombardment Division...
These artillery guys are a little more calm when the Goffs get thru
their
screening troops and charge...
I would say they are a little fragile - but at 3 hits each minimum, 4
together
take more than a Banelord...
I would say sitting 4 Warhounds back and barraging away is kind of a
waste,
>but 8 barrages...
You are drastically limiting your options, but 8 barrages...
And they probably live longer doing this than their usual assault scout
role...
Gonna have to try this out...
(If they only had the options in E40K also...)
