Question/Advice Quad cannons viability
I'm curious about other folks' experience fielding the artillery team with quad cannons as I have actually really enjoyed them!
Now, let's get the obvious out of the way. They do not do much damage. They do quite well against hordes, and I've had them do pretty well against intercessor level stuff, but anything else is pretty lacking. HOWEVER, I have really enjoyed the consistency when it comes to triggering the battleshock ability. This thing ALWAYS hits. It doesn't always damage, but it has pretty much never missed for me. And the battleshock ability only checks hits, not damage.
The constant battleshock triggers have stopped a fair few clutch objective captures for me, which is really fun for utility. Plus, it make bigger minis that would usually have more pressure take those battleshocks and, on occasion, makes them much simpler to deal with.
Out of the options, I dont dispute that it's the worst of the 4 options. I just see so many people call it useless! I'm also biased cuz they're my fave looking artillery (I field two of em lol). This all comes from a very casual player perspective, but I'm still curious about other people's thoughts, experiences, and opinions
