what are the immortals packing tesla or gauss? if everyone gets a free low then gauss will help the most.

Gauss...I have found it more useful in most situations than the tesla. Tesla only seems to really be effective if I tailor my list to my opponent, and I can't do that as there are too many possible opponents.

After seeing the sticky about Gauss v Tesla I can't really see anywhere the Tesla is worth it unless you want to be assaulting with the immortals. Since you can always make the one shot at full range on the gauss the Tesla makes you give up rapid fire and AP 4 for the chance of getting a couple of extra hits. This is only really use full against MEQ & TEQ if you can keep backing away and keep them at. 23.5".

Does the stalkers twin linking say it works for a turn? I though it was shooting phase. I would still rather have the 2 shots each from the gauss rapid firing than 1 tl shot from Tesla. And if you can tl one you could tl the other so I'd get tl rapid rire gauss. Tesla carbines are just not for 6 the ed. At least the cannon get +1 s over the gauss version and the same no of shots for the loss of ap.

for overwatch tesla beats gauss because if you get a 6 thats three hits. I worded my sentence poorly sorry for that. the gauss rapidfiring is better then tesla yes but then you're limiting yourself to be assulted. at half range gauss beats tesla hands down and beyond that without TL tesla is only SLIGHTLY better to gauss. But when you TL the tesla it beats out TL gauss at ranges past 12. its mainly depends what you are up against. imp guard? gauss. Demons with no armor but have invul saves? Tesla.

yeah...I think I will make my next 10 immortals (way down the road) tesla so that I can field 1 unit with Gauss and one with tesla.

I ended up magnetizing my immortals so that I don't end up with this issue.
If I need them to walk forward I'll take Gauss. If I need them to sit back I'll take Tesla.
Obviously there are other factors to take into account but that sums up the basics.

i bought a warrior box and used the spare arms from the immortals/deathmarks to create a 10 man immortal squad with tesla weapons.

Better use of those arms rather than magnetizing it.

i had enough warriors already

I am curious to know how this event goes. There's a pretty big point spread on lords of war.

Eldar win, thays my prediction assuming someone has a revenant, and only Escalation ones are allowed. Otherwise who knows, it will be a battle of budgets. Manta / Phantom / Heirophant / Reaver. Not the lord of skulls definitely.
