	Well, GW has finally answered our calls and given us a Deathstrike that doesn't suck. <s>Gone are the days of the Deathstrike failing to kill 10 Boyz or just not firing at all</s> You still need to roll D6s for MW, and 1 still gives you jack shit.		Well, GW has finally answered our calls and given us a Deathstrike that doesn't suck, it just sucks less. <s>Gone are the days of the Deathstrike failing to kill 10 Boyz or just not firing at all</s> You still need to roll D6s for MW, and 1 still gives you jack shit.

	It's been reworked to instead require two steps to fire: First, a targeting marker is placed. Then, next turn, you can either move it or fire one of three warheads, selected ''after'' your opponent shows you their army: Godspear missiles have a microscopic blast radius, but can one-shot anything short of a Knight. Plasma warheads have a wider area of effect, but don't do as much damage. And finally, the dreaded [[Vortex Missile]], which creates a mini Warp storm that sometimes hangs around for a couple turns.

	Sadly, the Deathstrike's weaknesses of only one shot, long ready time, <strike>middling accuracy</strike> (actually now fixed to a fucktastic Apocalyptic Blast), and variable blast size makes it a bit too chonky to be used effectively in a typical game. It's extremely effective when it fires, and it can utterly invalidate almost any enemy unit it targets, but it pays a lot for this. Getting the most out of the Deathstrike usually involves fitting it with Camo Netting to make it stealth, and a Hunter-Killer Missile, optionally, to let it do something when not sitting around waiting for the gun to fire.
