I think I made a mistake taking a two raider list because it meant we had a similar model count. Adam's right you simply can't fight them in CC. Initiative 6 power weapons hurt however you slice it!<br /><br />Anyway, maths-wise they're still BS4 so it's 67% chance of hitting and don't forget their redeemers have T-L psycannons. Still a 17% chance of rending but they're S7 so it's guaranteed glance and 67% chance of pen.

The same chance for a meltagun (within melta range) is 39%. So there isn't a massive difference between these two. Add in the fact that with psycannon you will probably be able to shoot from the 1st turn and won't get your unit susceptible to a charge from the angry Assault Termies that used to be inside that LR.The Antipopehttp://cadia122.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
