Defilers can't run 24 inches flat out with cover saves. Defilers don't even get cover saves. While defilers have better range, fire prisms are cheaper and are much faster. Fire prisms in swarms rapes swarm armies like orks, trynaids and now necrons. Usually I would roll just one fire prism. The rest is my wraith seer council avatar block of doom(with eldrad) and rangers/pathfinders killing everything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622796037030090242.post-58936930815400228242011-05-28T14:02:22.633-04:002011-05-28T14:02:22.633-04:00I couldn't agree more.

While not having a transport potential is ultimately the biggest reason for me (it is just so hard to get a Falcon off an objective) you just cannot count on scatter weapons when you need them. <br /><br />If my Vindicators, Fire Prisms, etc only hit what I went them to hit once or twice a game and the rest of the time are stun locked, out of position, or destroyed then what truly is the point?<br /><br />I run my Eldar lists with a similar mindset, 3 War Walkers with Scatter Lasers and a Falcon with Holo-Fields, Scatter Lasers, Shuriken Cannon full of Dire Avengers ready to camp an objective and dish out 9 shots a turn.dzer0https://www.blogger.com/profile/05801249469101932050noreply@blogger.com
