Every army has some things that other armies just have to deal with; for GK, it's Psyflemen. BA gets Priests, SW gets Long Fangs, SM get Hammernators, etc.<br /><br />And yes, regular Dreadnoughts with... basically any kind of shooting arms can see right over Rhinos pretty easily, no conversion needed.

And since that's about it for your truly long range AT firepower... I have to admit I like to take the TLAC/AC for armament sometimes just for the few extra shots and potential rends, but the safer (and likely better) option is the TLACs all around... So, other than the "everyone takes them" argument... :-) If "everyone" takes them, probably a good reason though..Paul Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800315555473550635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-23301136704543966482011-12-09T14:37:52.968-05:002011-12-09T14:37:52.968-05:00Lol love that conversion, just to see over Rhinos ...Lol love that conversion, just to see over Rhinos yeah xD?Killswitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870259848881215847noreply@blogger.com
