    The Chaos player only ever used them as faster, flying Rhinos. In a
situation like this, there's no way to stop one anyways. I've never
seen one shot down before it disgorges troops. I admit, as an Eldar
player, I'm the only one with a chance, as even if an empty T-hawk
engages my snap-fire in CC, I can still shoot. Everyone else can be
stopped using the empty T-hawk trick.
    Besides, if you land the T-hawk each turn, it can't be shot at without LOS.
