Support from the Heavies

My armies tend to be fast moving assault based armies, the buffs that shooting units have gotten in 6th edition    has not changed how I like to run my armies. I have evolved a small amount I now have a few units that can shoot at 24 inches instead of having an army that was based completely on a 12 inch threat range. That may change for me because I think I finally found a model that will finally bring me into the 36 inch range...


Let me introduce you to the Space Marine Rapier Laser Destroyer from Forge World!

 

This beasty is a 60 point model (2 crew) STR 9 AP 2 twin linked artillery piece with 36 inch range and can be taken in a battery of 1-3! 180 points for 3 of these, I think I am sold. 

While it is not all that effective against infantry you will have a field day against vehicles with these things, maybe even get in a shot against a flyer thanks to it being twin linked. I might actually get some of these since vehicles always give me a hard time, especially lists that have a lot of transports in them, I can only melta bomb so many things. Thanks for reading!
