I hadn't even realised they were unbreakable at this point. They are possibly my favourite thing now, and this is a special topic about my love for them. In shooting they murdered ~10 flamers, held up a horde of bloodletters with skulltaker and a BSB through a misfire result (praying for miscast, but still) and just generally kicked ass. I lost the game, sure, but the army they perform least well against still let them earn their place in my heart. Apologies for soppyness.
In my second game, they had less opportunity to perform. 2 of them were held in reserve, and first turn did a meager one wound to a stegadon, but by my turn 2 shooting phase my opponent had already folded (one steg already down from combat, purple sun killing the slaan, an ancient steg and a chunky unit of saurus), but their sheer killing power forced my opponent to play this way.
To summarise: they can devastate single models, wipe elite units, hold their own in combat, they're hella tough and they are unbreakable. The kicker? 1/6 of my miscasts can destroy my opponents magic capabilities and often take chunks out of whatever unit their in.
Just as executioner made me fall in love with DE, so hellcannons have tainted my heart with chaos.
What models/units have made you fall in love with your armies? Any fun stories attached?
Congrats for reading this far
