Quantum Hellion

I just looked at the Quantum Hellion Preview. With pilot and evade, this guy is a BEAST! 24 ranged defense and a killer pilot ability... Plus enough room for some hard hitting support. Very nice!

Yeah, but one hit and like any light mech he goes FMMPH!(Cannot think of any better falling into the dirt sound). Sure, he is near impossible to hit via ranged, but with only a 12" range, MDFAs may have his number more than not. Still a nice piece, but he is not "broken", especially with only 2 DV on his 12" range(can someone say "hardened armor"?)

Eh.. If you are going to get 12" in, you might as well get 10. The nice thing is that you can support him with a Fa Shih or SC Undine drop and get in a first shot. Plus for ~170 points, you can put in some TD support (if not a Kelswa than a cheaper, 3-4 Damage ArPer) with little problem.

I can afford more support than a Quantum can with a SW Blade at 152 with a 12 AV and IT. In an AO that means I would need a 13 to hit, and that is not taking IT in account. The Hellion "Quantum" is a good mech, but it is a bit expensive such a light, especially if you want to take another mech with him.

Quantum is an awesome little mech with an amazing Pilot. Anyone whos played me in the past what, 4 months knows what I do with hellions, and this one is stupendous. I already have 3 armies planned for this guy. I love this game!

I just LOVE that ability.... I just wish "Quantum" had a bit more range...

His ability is impressive. It might cause me to play him a couple of times.. The fragility of Light mechs scares me at times!
