'''9th Edition''' is here and the Ark is still competitive, although depending on what you are facing the new [[Canoptek Doomstalker]] may be a reasonable sidegrade depending on your situation.

			In addition the Ark still retains hitting power at extreme range, the fly keyword, and a very solid secondary volume of fire with its array of Gauss Flayers. Whether you take it or a Doomstalker is such very much a matter of playstyle as well as which synergies you want to focus on within the Codex.

Still, if the deep striking fleshlings don't explode it in one shot this has 4HP to take hits for you.

Combined with 14 PV and the Quantum Shielding, the Doomsday Ark is a good support unit (it outperforms the [[Fire Prism]] against T7 to T9 vehicles).		In 8th edition, the [[Doomsday Cannon]] is D6 shots S10 AP-5 D D6 at 72in or D6 shots S8 AP-2 D D3 at 36in if moved. Combined with 14 PV and the Quantum Shielding, the Doomsday Ark is a good support unit (it outperforms the [[Fire Prism]] against T7 to T9 vehicles).

	''''9th Edition'''' is here and the Ark finally has competition as a Doomsday Heavy Support with the introduction of the [[Canoptek Doomstalker]]. It is at least not a straight upgrade or downgrade, having an entirely different profile : vehicle vs. monster, flyer vs. walker, quantum shielding vs. regular invulnerable rule, as well as completely different stratagems and rules.

	As such the Ark still retains the honor of having the longer range, the fly keyword as well as very solid secondary volume of fire with its array of Gauss Flayers. Whether you take it or its competition is such very much a matter of playstyle as well as which synergies you want to focus on within the Codex.
