        Whoa, whoa, hold your horses. From what I've been hearing
(check out the posting on the GW web page), all artillery is only
really good at supressive fire under the new rules. In fact, almost
all weapons are only good for contributing to a CC. Also, aren't CCs
modeled so that they can be played as 40k battles? Grr...

        Hmm. Getting off track here. Doomweavers aren't being
singled out. All artillery do this now, according to the official
post from GW.
