Morgrim Bloodbeard:

Greetings, :hat

I currently have the Magma cannon and the Deathshrieker and i want to add a third one to my 2400 pt list. The rest of the army is pretty much infantry with some Goblin Khans on wolfback running around.

I am leaning towards the Hellcannon but is there a better choice for the third machine?

:hat off

I've started to never leave home without my hellcannon! It's an awesome machine.

S5 template, forced -1LD tests and high hit chance with daemonsmith. Use his re-roll on the scatter dice, if you didn't roll a misfire. Unbreakable in close combat.

But the best thing is - monsters and handlers! Only old monster models still have this.

The Hellcannon has a 4+, 5++ save. If failed the wound goes to crew member on 5+. Effectively this means it has two consecutive 5+ saves against canonballs - so tough!

Use it as a flank protector.

although i dont have many games under my belt my gut feeling is that adding another repetition of a machine would be better than adding a hellcannon… you can get 2 rockets for the same price or a second magma and have points left over for upgrades elsewhere…
