Imperial Bunkers and Havoks?

[Lucky_Lee]

So as the title states, imperial bunkers full of las/missile havoks. Is it worth it for the points?

 

Ive been comparing it to Las-preds for the points. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

I think comparing Las with Las, the bunker has an issue with fire lanes which the predator can get around by moving. So for this mobility and cheaper on points you lose a toughness and a wound

 

Would probably grab the predator

You'd be adding 100 points a unit for toughness 8, 12 wounds with a 3+ save with the possibility of adding anti air.

So it's not a bad idea but you are unable to use your aura ability or strategems on them while they're in the bunkers.

You're basically making a quadruple lascannon tank for 300-330ish points but they'd be a lot harder to shift

Alternative thought is for the price of a bunker you can add a 5 man havoc squad with auto cannons

So the question that comes to mind is there ever really a good time to use a bunker? 100pts for 12 wounds at T8 doesn't seem terrible when you have titians wiping squads on turn 1.

Not really. There's a reason why you don't see fortifications in games. They are just not worth it between regular terrain, the need to move around and capture objectives and simply buying more units for those points.

12 wounds at T8 is not something that protects you for very long if your opponent really wants to destroy it. People are building lists to kill Knights and Leman Russ spam as fast as possible to protect their own units so a bunker would be only mildly annoying.
