Admittedly, the Warsphere is a very nice model, bulky, with lots of pieces, but now it is priced at £41! :-O ..It's only valued at 145pts too!<br /><br />Maybe the answer is to make the stats a lot better - Warspheres always sounded more powerful in the original Tau Codex than the BFG: Armada rules suggest. The activation of one in orbit around Dal'yth helped swing the battle against the Imperium's first foray into Tau space, destroying the Navy flagship IIRC.Pawn Cocktailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448354713523290985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343812514666857065.post-8741050959930132352012-06-16T15:31:28.969+01:002012-06-16T15:31:28.969+01:00The intarwebz won't let me view that link.
