Default Vibro Cannons?

Is only one line drawl from the whole battery of three? Is the highest strength a battery can reach 7?

Anyone play tested these? How do they do?

Thanks

OK ok ok Correct me fi Im wrong but I really think you are thining of the D-Cannon where you draw the line from the gun that is 24" range and whatever if touching that line you deal the damage.

Anyways Im like 90% sure its from each of the guns get their own shot, just like any other battery.

ive gone up against a vibro cannon and all you really need to take is 1 not 3. Yes you do draw the line down from the gun. When i played against a friends eldar army he had one in it. It didnt hit that often but the one time it did it hurt big time.

as i said i would take it but i would only take one

Its a 36" line if you roll a hit from any cannon in the battery in any direction and everything under the line takes damage!

I tend to take three but thats because I have the models (old ones but they still count) and Ive used a FOC slot on them so I might as well use it to its fullest advantage also the extra strength from the extra units never hurts!

I like it-the potential for up to 6 strength 6 (the rules say for each one after the first-so we play 1=S4,2=S5 and 3=S6, we might be wrong but thats the way we interprit the rules) hits against units and auto glancing hits against armour is a great bonus and even if you loose some of the cannons you still keep the multiple hits and auto glancing you just loose a bit of strength!

I realy like them-no guess ranges like D Cannons!

Its a terrible example they give-but no surprises there!

I use them but I like the versatility of them-both anti infantry and armour-my main opponents are Guard so I need the flexibility-the poor AP makes them less usefull against well armoured foes-but inflict enough hits and even they fail saves (Ive seen Terminators fall to Shuriken pistol fire)

my girlfriend used to like vibro cannons...

(no really, she used to dabble with elder, much to my disappointment.)


i love vibro cannons. a battery of three of them is helpful to put up the Sts and Ap of the weapon, though other than that you dont really need them, though since youre wasting a whol heavy slot on them, you might as well take as many as you can

Exactly my point if youve taken one you might as well take three-youve used the FOC slot, it gives the Strength increase + chance of hitting and it gives the increased survivability for the detachment!

hhmmmm....worth the 150 points for a battery without a warlock when you could get three shadow weavers and a warlock with conceal for 130 points?

Shadow Weavers have 48G range
Vibro Cannons have 36 auto hitting anything in a 36" line (only one line per battery?)
Shadow Weavers are blast weapons
Vibro Cannons hit D6 times
Shadow Weavers are S6 AP-
Vibro Cannons are S6 (in batteries) AP-
Shadow Weavers are heavy 1 and cheap (30 points a gun)
Vibro Cannons are pinning weapons and auto glance vehicles

Pinning and Auto Glance everytime a very good combination and cheap for what they can do really (auto glance on a Landraider-yes please)!
