4.5/5 stars. Rounded down. The rules are great!
Background.
Sharing the same chassis as the shadowsword and others, the Flachion was developed during the great crusade to take down the largest of foes and assorted monsters. Of course, its role as a titan destroyer only came later with the outbreak of the Heresy, but it proved no less effective.
Strengths.
The Falchion mounts a Neutron Wave Cannon. This beast has a 120 inch range and two shots at S=12. the AP=2 and damage=4. Armourbane marks it out as a anti-vehicle, anti-titan tank, and there is also ordnance on damage which is mind blowing. It causes stunned as well in case you need that. In essence then, this is a weapon that can potentially inflict 10 damage per turn.
You get las cannon arrays on the sponsons which can also contribute and you can upgrade for free to laser destroyers or gravis heavy bolters. But you might as well stick with the original armaments.
Weaknesses.
The stat line has AV=12 at the rear which is an issue like others of its kind. Again, here my advice is to park it near to a board edge and let the range take care of your enemy knight or titan. The HP=18 will help keep you alive for a little while at least. The points cost is high, but the worth is solid.
Builds.
Falchion (650 points).
No upgrades, and no worries.
