I love the Cankerworm. It's such a pretty model, it has some very entertaining rules, and it has Salvage. Salvage is hilarious, and I've stolen some pretty funny weapons along the way, so I've decided to keep track, and see if I can unlock the achievement: Gotta Salvage 'em all.
- Perisher (Cryx, Harrower)
- Spiker (Cryx, Leviathan)
- Helldriver (Cryx, Reaper)
- Ice Breaker (Khador, Beast09)
- Open Fist (Khador, Behemoth)
- Bombard (Khador, Destroyer)
- Metal Storm (Cygnar, Cyclone)
- Generator Blade (Cygnar, Stormclad)
- Lightning Coil (Cygnar, Thunderhead)
- Skyhammer (Menoth, Redeemer)
- Flame Belcher (Menoth, Vanquisher)
- Burning Wrath (Menoth, Avatar)
- Wrecker (Mercenaries, Mangler)
- Steam Lobber (Mercenaries, Mule)
- Sledge Cannon (Mercenaries, Rockram)
- Thermal Blade (Retribution, Phoenix)
- Heavy Void Blade (Retribution, Banshee)
- Sonic Pulse Cannon (Retribution, Discordia)
These are what I consider the three best weapons (to salvage) from each faction, and while it might take years to complete the list, it will be a nice challenge, and make some games more interesting. I'm very much looking forward to attempting this, and especially to the day I finally manage to Salvage a Thunderhead Lightning Coil, and blow an army to hell with it.
Would be very nice with some insight on how you usually use this guy, as I feel like I'm not playing him right, or at least to his full extent :) I really like him as well, but I often end up with doing a bit of damage with him and then he dies. I often want to put him in a list, but usually lack the points. I think I might use him some more if I had some good ideas on how to use him and what he can do in a list :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been ages since I've had him on the table, but I'll write something when I'm up to speed :)
ReplyDeleteGreat :) Maybe I'll take him out for a game tomorrow. I'll be playing either Mortenebra, Terminus or pDenny I think, but I'm not sure he really fits into any of my lists. Would be cool with Mortenebra I guess, but I don't think the FCoD would benefit that much, and would be kinda difficult to replace anything in the list with him.
ReplyDeleteI think the hardest one to get is the Sledge Cannon from the Rockram... not because the Rockram is hard to kill, but because no one uses it :D
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen anyone use it in our local meta, except for me :P
Good luck, Cankermon Trainer!
Duskern, it's a snug fit for all three. Mortenebra in non-tier is already my favorite (and if you see a Stalker drop, get a Grievous Wounds Canker ASAP), Terminus can use it as a cheap road block, and with pDenny a loaded Canker can take down a heavy.
ReplyDeleteHjelmen, I'm looking forward to trying then :D
I find it's a bit hard to fit it into my list, as there's no good candidates for this and I'm not sure what i will miss the least.

I think it might have to be dropping a Helldiver and a Warwitch Siren.
That sounds workable :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try this tomorrow as well as either Terminus or pDenny.
