4 Storm Talons. 2 Storm Ravens. 1 Thunderhawk. All rolling onto the table at the same time. :3
I can't imagine it, because my Str D has killed everything else on Turn 1 and the game's over.

That would be physically impossible if the player has more then two starting units. Plus I believe that the Thunderhawk can start the game on the board with the Skyshield via Stronghold Assault.

I just want to say, I know that a lot of what I've been saying could be seen as negative or complaining, but I'm really mostly excited about these new supplements.  Superheavies are awesome, better building rules and huge forts are awesome.   I have had ONE negative thing to see in the enormous sea of excitement, which is that I suspect D weapons will lead to games that aren't fun.   Just me making a prediction.

However it turns out, I'll keep playin' to some extent (and will definitely keep paintin').  40k is for craziness right now.  When I want something non-crazy I'll try another game.  If folks embrace D weapons, I'll D up too.

I once ran a test battle of a Stompa versus 600 points of orks. Orks won in turn two. Damn thing didn't even explode properly.

i alomost think they are going to do a bunch for everyone in plastic. maybe that is just wishing but the way things have been going i don't think so.
