With Assault Cannons: With Whirlwind Missiles: Base cost 75pts (whirlwind launchers) 20pts for assault cannons The weapons work as follows: when they hit the ground they fire indiscriminately at friend or foe within 12 inches and LOS. Each unit takes D3 attacks from the wepon! So either D3 Whirlwind attacks (S5 Ap 4 ord barrage) or D3 Assault Cannons (S6 Ap4 Hv4 Rend) Not bad aye? Each is a heavy support. Would not be too hard to convert up a few from the regular drop pod.

Ummmm there very powerful for cost.
So d3 assault cannons you score 3 so thats 3 Assault cannons at 12 shots or with the Whirlwind you get 3 large blasts and this is on every squad in 12 inch WTF.

One use only, they burn up all ammo after they land so you need to use them wisely. I for one would not use them as they do take away points that could be spent on troops choices to capture objectives etc.
However in games of Apocalypse they could be real fun!
