Thanks to being the only vessel of the Drukhari fleet to field more than a single Impaler bay, the Dying Sun just so happens to be the most economical way to field them at roughly 11 points per Impaler. This is due to the presence of Impaler Assault Modules.
The Dying Sun-class is a more close-range variant in contrast to the Iron Thorn. In hindsight, putting your Assault Boats exposed on your ship's prow is not the smartest of ideas.Īnother Carrier-class Battleship.
Crew: 63,000 crew, including 14,000 pilots and support staff approxĭying Sun File:DyingSunBattleship.jpg. It is armed with 1 Super Heavy Launch Bay carrying Razorwing Bombers, Raptor Fighters and Slavebringer Assault Boats, 3 Heavy Scythe Missile Artillery, 6 Scythe Missile Artillery and 1 Phantom Lance Artillery Batteries. Thanks to the considerable firepower of the underlying weaponry that comes constant across the 3 specialist Battleship hulls, the Iron Thorn is also a potent warship beyond just being a large carrier vessel, giving extra cause for choosing one to lead a carrier fleet, despite its second-place efficiency. The Iron Thorn is the second most cost-efficient carrier of launch bays at 134 points per bay, with the Fiend Ascendant coming in at 129 points and the Burning Scale at 180 points for its single bay. Acceleration: 8.5 gravities maximum sustainable acceleration approxĬarrier Iron Thorn File:Iron Thorn.jpg. It is armed with 8 Torpedo Tubes, 3 Heavy Scythe Missile Artillery, 6 Scythe Missile Artillery and 1 Phantom Lance Artillery Batteries. The Falling Moon might not be the best points use for stacking torpedoes if that happens to be the direction you are going with your Drukhari fleet, but the fact it comes bristling with all of its Battleship standard weaponry makes up for its slight increase over the other options in terms of cost per tube. The Falling Moon is a torpedo ship that is also armed with a good complement of missile batteries for close-medium range and a single lance battery for the occasional long-ranged engagements The most 'basic' of all Dark Eldar Battleships in terms of loadout.
