That's pretty sweet for a unit that had no way to counter even a rhino.

The purpose behind the review is really to try and get all the different options straight in my own head. It's all so different - which is great!<br /><br />My only comment - we have always differed I think on our view of Kroot. I always loved them and you just didn't feel that love! Well, needless to say I still love them, and think they got even better! I'll elaborate in due course! <br /><br />EYIG Embrace Your Inner Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175279670690377675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-25666276816974621412013-04-12T17:54:32.237+01:002013-04-12T17:54:32.237+01:00I think "Sniper Kroot" are the secret to...I think "Sniper Kroot" are the secret to dealing with MC's rather than your usual plasma/fusion/rail weapons - once they've been grounded.MC Tic Tachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949140720088475873noreply@blogger.com
