Thundertusk Chaintrap

The harpoon/bolt-thrower I use often enough. The sphere of ice (Stonethrower) attack I've used often.
But the Chaintrap? I find it nearly useless with a 12" range.

Opinions? If I could use it in CC I think I'd be happier with it, but it is a missile weapon.

I agree that it is pretty useless, but it is still pretty funny when you manage to snag a Knight with it some day.

I rarely think much of it. It's just a very small bonus that sometimes can contribute with another wound or kill.

The shame of it is that it looks so cool.  Maybe if you could arm a unit with them.  An upgrade for maneaters or Mournfangs for 5 points per model.

Its another ranged attack that can stand and shoot if you get charged, it also ensures that you will be in half range with your Harpoon Launcher(the assumed range of Stand and Shoot is the range of the shortest weapon)

It useful if you are running circles around a nasty melee unit you don't want to engage with the TT(like Chaos Knights)

I like the model for it for the partly  open hand that can be used to hold big posts or such in modeling lol

It can make a good butcher hand. Looks like he's casting a spell.
