Editing Tantalus (section)

== Tabletop ==

The only Drukhari ground vehicle that counts as a Superheavy. 18 Wounds at T7 and 3+ armor is insane for the faction's standards of the typical wet cardboard armor. [[Powergamer|Two pulse disintegrators fire a total of 12 shots at 36" range, with S8 AP-3 D2.]] [[RIP AND TEAR|In close combat, it's got 6 S8 AP-2 attacks which hit at 4+, and on the charge it inflicts D3 mortal wounds on a 4+ roll to any enemy units within 1".]] Assault units <u>BEWARE</u>, this is one Superheavy tank you do not want to fuck with at close range.

When the Tantalus Advances, you simply double its movement value. Combine that with open-topped transport capacity of 16 (works the same as a Raider's) and the ability to grant the embarked Warlord's Leadership to all friendly LoS units ([[Derp|except for those in cover, for some reason]]) to complete the most powerful model in the army. [[Forgeworld|The price for that is your wallet, your soul, and a points cost that exceeds 3 Disintegrator Ravagers.]] Given its size, strength, and points cost, the Tantalus is a prime target for heavy enemy firepower. Using the Lightning-Fast Reactions stratagem on it may well be the difference between being reduced to a smouldering wreck or laughing in the face of that unlucky Shadowsword gunner.

Oh yeah, and did we forget that this awesome boat can still transport your [[Scourges]] and [[Hellions]] and protect them from fire, and give your Scourges a second deployment option to boot. [[RAPE|12 Dark Lances plus the 12 total shots from the main gun is about as Dark Eldar as you're going to get.]] [[MOAR DAKKA|And with that volume of fire, you stop caring about the -1 to hit if you have to move too.]]
