The Weapons of the Onager Dunecrawler


The Onager Dunecrawler has some awesome weaponry at its disposal, including the Icarus Array, which looks fantastic in my own opinion. It literally can according to the sample codex, take down two flyers per round. Once during your opponents with interceptor, and then during your own shooting phase. While the weapon looks expensive, the Onager itself relatively cheap, and can come in squadrons of 3. Add in that it can benefit from Doctrina Imperatives and you have a winner in this walker.
