I haven't played Warhammer 40,000 for almost 2 years now, so...uh, I have no idea if they're strong or not. I'm still getting them, though. Because I love tanks. They appear to have really cool rules. The Centaur RSV can transport up to 12 dudes, and they can all fire out thanks to Firing Deck 12. Warhammer Community also recommends you load up to 6 Cadian heavy weapons teams with lascannons or missile launchers to zoom them around shooting lots of heavy firepower. If you ask me, though, I'll be loading up with 6 Krieg heavy weapons teams with heavy flamers and incinerate a bunch of heretics and xenos. Heh.
The interesting thing about the Hippogriff is that all its main weapons are assault. Interesting. Very interesting. He comes packed with a standard battle cannon, which they call Vigilator for some reason. Only Strength 8. You can pair that or a Chiron gatling cannon - which shoots 12 Strength 5 shots - with a heavy stubber. Or you can go all in on anti-tank with a heavy lascannon that shoots a single Strengh 12 AP -3 Damage D6+1 shot, or a double-shot melta cannon with a meltagun. And they all have assault. Cool.
I'll be getting the tanks, for sure. The Centaur, I'll be using as an explorator rig or something for Horus Heresy, to cart my Imperial Militia Ryuusei grenadiers around. And since I'm getting Krieg heavy weapons eventually (for heavy flamers), I'll stick the twin heavy stubbers and any spare heavy flamers I have from Heresy-era tanks onto the Centaur to make him a rig! I can't wait to see how it goes!
