Obviously you cannot rely on your opponent following this rationale so always have a back up plans should they either take your turrets out or just choose to weather the firing line. Used correctly in conjunction with the available table terrain, you can use the turrets to funnel your opponents forces away from these lines of fire and this should condense the army into smaller firing lanes, or it will allow you to engage them in close combat with you getting the charge off as you have dictated the area of engagement. I think granting them scout is an excellent investment as it forces your opponent to second guess where the eventual position of the turrets will be. The important thing to employ here is the firing mode mechanism and where you deploy your turrets. If you are lacking ranged anti-tank and face lots of vehicles then obviously lascannons are a good way to go. How you equip the tarantula will depend very much on what you are lacking in your army and also what your local meta is like.

It also states that if you have mixed turret load outs e.g. Two things that are explicitly stated are that in the case of the lascannon and multi-melta, it will still target an immobilised vehicle if it is the closest to the turret in its arc of fire. Lascannon/Multi-melta: Will target the nearest vehicle or monstrous creature This is summarised below:įlamers/Heavy Bolters/Rotor Cannon: Will target the nearest non-vehicle unit The weapon load out of the tarantula turrets will define what their preferred targets are. Sentry Mode: Fires in a 360 degree arc but only 18"Īutomated Artillery: This rules relates to the targeted enemy units by the sentry.
