[Archive] So then... a flying destroyer

Grimstonefire:

Let’s have your thoughts and ideas.

In MA the Destroyer has the option to fly and S4 flaming breath weapon.

This would be quite useful in a huge battle (say 6000pts+ per side), but given the mixed feedback so far and it being very hard to kill, making it fly as well is just brutal.

I am strongly tempted to have mine rising up on a load of flames actually. That would look suitably epic. Like it was racing for the heavens.

silentbob27:

I will give mine a snap on rocket pack.

Abecedar:

as the one I’m building is a Taurus shape, I’d probably just add wings. That is if I ever finish it.

thrawn:

ya saw that, with wings the destroyer becomes epic. a little too much.

The Charioteer:

How does the monstrous arcana book work? can we use its destroyer over our own legally?

Yes but only in a Storm of Magic game where there are more options to nullify a flying destroyer.

There are allegedly a load of new Mythic Artefacts in the book as well extremely capable of bringing down big Gribblies

I have the book just haven't had much chance to read it yet

Baggronor:

I would imagine the upgrades are SoM only. If not… that’s a bad thing for CDs. Flight remedies the only two weaknesses of the Destroyer: the forced overruns from frenzy and the large footprint. And it really doesn’t need a breath weapon or extra str 3 hits on top of the str 4 hits it already inflicts either.

If its a straight upgrade, I imagine it’ll just get banned. Or worse, it’ll get LoA itself banned.
