Oh, wow

Considering they have a +4 ARM on DT 0, I don't think the die as quickly as somebody is making them out too.  Isn't that the highest ARM any soft target has??  

 

That, and Chrome is right about using so much firepower on a disposable target.  If you can't get your people out of the way, then it's understandable, but either way, you leave yourself open to a whole lot of return fire from every other enemy model out there.

 

I know I'll be trying to use them in larger games (4000+ points) just to got the feel of them and see people's reaction to them.    :laugh:  :p

Hell, I like to use them in smaller games.  For one thing, people don't expect them.  Also, at least in my group, when we go w/smaller games, the guys tend to bring fewer soft-targets and soft-target killers.

I guess I just haven't figured out how to deploy them, then.  From analysis, it looks like you need to fire two or more of them at a time, or make them a less appealing target than the Rhino.

The Whisper has +4 ARM!?!?!?!

 

Okay, when did that change, or is by brain simply remembering it wrong. I thought the Whisper was like +1 (which isn't hard for a pair of +6's - like a Rhino) but +4 makes them a whole new bar of chocolate.

 

I must commune with the Great Ogre on this....

And while you're at it, advise him to duck, since the Whisper Chocobombs can turn him into a small pile of creamy goodness.

I used a whisper in wednesdays game and it took out a rhino. I need to get more of them, because(imo) a 100 point device taking out a 500+ point  is a fair trade in my book (unless they are being fired at me, that is)

[Chrome 1752]

Whispers are 200 points GR. †The Army Builder files are wrong (but soon to be corrected) but the price increase is in the Eratta on CAVHQ.

[Ghost Rider 14]

I know Chrome, I was just seeing if you are awake and paying attention :p

 

It's still a good trade off though.

And the Whisper strikes again.  I'm getting around to start to work with them, before someone starts using them on me first.    :p

I found the Whisper to be one of the easiest models to glue (always a chore) and paint (see gluing) - although I'd definately recommend painting the missile and launcher arm before gluing them.

[Ghost Rider 14]

I didn't bother to glue it all together.

It works great for the hitching a ride rules if you take the missle off after you fired it.

I posted a pic of my whisper in the show off forum let me know what you think

[Froggy the Great 62652]

Hmm.  Can you do that?  I suppose you can always play by house rule, but thought the launcher was removed once it had fired.

 

Granted, a 10-ton truck doesn't just disappear.

[Leech 0]

It's an optional rule in the JoR.... and I never thought of that... you glue the missile to the launcher arm though, don't you?

[Froggy the Great 62652]

Nonono, what you do is, you drill a hole in the bottom of the missile, and put a wire on the launcher rack to hold it in place.  That way, you can remove the missile whenever you want.

Try it, it's really neat.

Actually Frank I did not glue my missiles. In fact the bed is fully deployable, and usually when getting ready to fire it, the bed "rises" to the deployed stage. We just use the actual missiles to track them though... instead of the in flight misile... why I misplaced mine.
