===Heavy Support=== '''Voidweaver''' - A tax. Plain and simple. Most formations worth a damn need them so be prepared to throw your points away. This is the other option in the Starweaver dual kit, this vehicle fills several artillery based roles, since it can purchase a Prismatic Cannon, which is an extremely versatile weapon that can lance at a measly strength 7, knock chunks out of MEQ with an S5 AP3 small blast, or blow hordes up with an S3 AP4 large blast. It also has two Shuriken Cannons just like the Starweaver, but the second rear-facing gun may select a different target but only in the rear facing. The stock haywire cannon is kinda forgettable, though. It's an S4 AP4 Blast with Haywire, and that's all it can be. If you want Haywire Cannons, get them in Skyweavers. * Alternate Opinion: The Main gun is turret mounted and can be spun to face any direction, so drive your Voidweavers backward. The armor is the same all around, so this gives you the option to fire the Prismatic/Haywire Cannon at one target, and the Shuriken Cannon at a 2nd, instead of being locked into firing your two normally front facing guns at the same target. This doesn't stop it from being a tax, but gives it better options than just driving it forward. * Another Alternate Opinion: It's only a tax if you make it one. While there are other vehicles that are objectively better when it comes to killing things (Fire Prism, for example) there are few that are as versatile, cheap, and inconspicuous. People who see a Voidweaver will most likely have one of two reactions: either they know about them and, therefore, will write them off as an annoyance at best; or they ''won't'' know about them and, seeing the funky gun on its top, will devote a ridiculous amount of firepower in an effort to kill it. If scenario A occurs, proceed to blow the '''shit''' out of their MEQs and hordes with the Prismatic Cannon - and, if you're lucky, glance a vehicle a few times (don't forget about the underslung Shuriken Cannon). If you're ''really'' lucky, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm_GPkOfVKI| laugh like the Joker] when you pop one of their scary tanks in one round of shooting. If it's scenario B, park it in cover and, if needed, pop Mirage Launchers; you now have a very humorous DISTRACTION (almost?) CARNIFEX that can do some (very good) damage and keep an enemy occupied for at least a turn, thereby allowing your clowns to get in raep range. Either way, you'll get your 80 points' worth out of it. Don't believe me? Give it a whirl. A tax, perhaps, but one that you can use to your advantage if you're smart. * Alternare Opinion The Third: The Main Gun is Turret-Mounted, the underlsung Shuiken Cannon is Hull-Mounted and the Rear-Mounted Shuriken Cannon has a 180Β° (or just less than) firing arc. Don't drive backwards, drive ever so slightly off of sideways, drift permanently. Place the target you want your Main gun to fire at at the 45Β° limit for your underslung gun so that you don't lose shots and then pivot to see if you can't swing something into range with the aft mounted gun. It's a gimmicky bonus, yes. But 3 Strength 6 AP 5 Bladestorm shots can cause at least a little bit of harm, and having an extra Shuriken Cannon fire into a unit of Speeeeehhhhs Muhranes before a Troupe charges them can really help. Hell. If you can pull exactly the right amount of JUST AS PLANNED, you might even get Slay the Warlord out of this thing. (Happened with a poorly positioned Abaddon in my game) '''The Serpent's Breath''' The Death Masque Voidweaver. Take a regular Voidweaver, strap on the Prismatic Cannon at full price and then pay a further 10 points for BS5.
