Its been a few moons since the Road Warriors seen any action, but with the release of the Stormtalon, I figured it was worth a look at what this new unit could accomplish.

I'll be honest, there are 2 units I prefer not to field: The scouts and the Thunderfire Cannon. But they work together well enough, I would be willing to play test them. The scouts are there to sit in some 2+ cover (thanks to the cloaks and the 2 tech marines with the Bolster Defenses ability). The Dreadnoughts will cover the flanks of the Cannon while the Tactical squads combat squad with lanes of fire. The razorbacks run up one flank while the Stormtalons puddle jump to lay down some surpressing fire. Meanwhile the MotF bounces to the far reaches of the board edge and squeezes of rounds from the big gun on his back...
The other strategy I see is the Scouts can outflank and the Skyhammer Stormtalons can "escort" them giving me optimal shots on some long range targets while the scouts go for any objectives or a nice place to hide.
As always, thoughts or comments are welcome.
