Horus Heresy 2e Review: Legion Falchion

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4.5/5 stars, rounded down. Its a mobile volcano cannon and I would give 5/5 if it weren't for the rear armour of the chassis.

Background.
It is a volcano cannon on wheels. 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.
Twin. Linked. Volcano. Cannon. 
I mean, range of 120 inches, with a large blast that ignores cover and is a destroyer hit is amazing. And that is before we say S=14 at AP=1. Boom. Drops the mic. I'm done here. 

Weaknesses.
The lascannon arrays are overkill. But you don't care. The rear armour is only 12. But again, you just won't care. Park it at the backfield corner and just enjoy your apocalypse game. 

Builds.
Falchion, Las Cannon Array Sponsons (650 points)
A naked version. I wouldn't bother with any of the upgrades except maybe a hunter killer missile. Not sure on that even.
