Seven Heavy Bolters for 300 points?  Wouldn't want to be an Ork player playing against that... ;)

Don't fight tanks with it, all you would do is waist their time having to repaint whatever tank you fought. That thing is a hord armies worst nightmare tho.

Only HBs, no transport, 300pts.  It seems fair to me.  I'd be fine fighting it in a normal game as well, as I"m a dedicated supporter of this game being able to be played around with.
It's the throwing phase now.

i was on the receiving end on occasion

For 300 points, it's a marked sight better than any other anti-horde you could nab for the points, save maybe three thunderfires.  More durable, too.  Keep in mind that five of those heavy bolters are twin-linked, AND it has PotMS.  Wouldn't like seeing it across from me, but then again I'm a horde player.

I'm not a fan.  Its like a malcador but far better.

Why not use a crusader or a prometheus?  Personally, I think it would be best to curb all the datasheets to the gw and bols ones.

Do you have the heavy bolters for it? If you have the heavy bolters I would be happy to fight it in a low (relativily speaking) apoc game. My railguns could use the practice before mega battle (no offence ment ;D).

Did you check out the prometheus?  Also, a non superheavy moving and shooting all its non defensive guns?  Sure, its fine for you and a buddy but it seems like a terminus but can move and shoot.  If the question is for the megabattle, I would say just use a prometheus.

thats called compromising. i would love a leman russ with 6 sponson battlecannons and a deathstrike missile on top, but even if i pay 600 pts for it, is not allowed. the megabattle isn't allowing self-made datasheets anyway (from what i was told).

For the most part.

In a normal apocalypse game (or as I said, a normal game if you're playing somebody like me), it would be fine.  That's the time to make up datasheets and have fun with the game.  But in such a huge megabattle, the amount of self-made things need to be kept to a minimum to avoid any more confusion than is already created.

Also, remember that if a tank is better than a different one, it needs to be more points to match.  And that doesn't mean just tossing on 30 more points and calling it a day.
