If I read this thing right, it is possible to get a landraider with an armor value of 15, strength 11 lascannons, along with a 4+ armor save if you bring enough models and show up early. I can't make up my mind if this event sounds fun or just plain cheesy. Comments?

An Intersting Idea we can easily do at the store, but it just smacks of GW propoganda....Buy our stuff for huge prices.

I agree IW. I do like the idea though but I wonder what rules they are using. Some osrt of armoured company rules maybe. With the upgrade bonuses that you "get" for buying their highpriced product and showing up early, it does look like the only shot you have to win is by pimpin' out a landraider so that it is d**n near unstoppable. I only see a few tanks out there that would have any chance of competing. I get the idea that Dark Eldar raiders might not be too good, what do you think?

[Iron Warrior]

I see falcons having the best probabilty of surviving the longest and killing the most. We could try something like that. Make up a huge table, everyone bring in thier all thier tanks and have a go.

[Wolf Lord Snorville]

I see some huge potential for ork battlewagons there also... assuming you can equip them with roofs...
