Heh. Well, that's not always the case when you're
playing against eldar or 'nids... (dang striking scorps and
genestealers!)

They are. I picked up 3 more at a local store that
still had the old stuff for that very reason.

Hate to point this out to you, but the LoB's not a
command unit.
The Tower really isn't that amazing, but it's a cool
looking model and I like its character. Generally I use it
to transport a some plaguebearers, beasts and maybe a GUO...
generally this gets them to where I want them, unmolested, a
turn ahead of schedule. Plus it's the only way to get a GUO
to the other side of the board. The point is to use it
primarily as a transport and not a gun platform.
