Tesla Cannon vs. Gauss Cannon, 6th ed rematch.

[The_Klobb_Maniac]

Quick recap:
Tesla:
-tesla does cool stuff on 6's. Great for snap shots while moving 6" (200% better before considering St and AP)
-S6 can pen AV11, glance AV12
-Quantity over quality
-ID T3
-High Str => better for MCs as well

Gauss:
-Glance everything, pen (essentially) nothing
-*much much worse at snap shots (matters if you move.)
-Glances everything. Good for AV13 on the odd occasion that you shoot your destructor there



I'm heavily leaning towards Tesla because of:
-The odd chance of getting Shaken/Stunned. Unlikely, but still.
-Move'n'Shoot effectiveness
-I like quantity more than quality as it's more reliable. Nice to have against a variety of armies AP3 is a mixed bag.



I know you can magnetize (indeed, that you don't even need to for the model to work), but I'm still curious if my theoryhammer holds up. thoughts?

Tesla by far.
Annihilation Barges are great with pure Tesla, against both ground and flying opponents.
If it was 5th ed i would have said Gauss, but with the addition of snap-fire and fliers i think Tesla is a winner.

(On a side note, the Tesla vs Gauss for Immortals, Gauss is preferred in most situations.)

Yep, I've always been on the Gauss side for immortals.

Where as I have always been on the Tesla side for immortals. Better overwatch and gauss is something if I wanted I would be taking on warriors where it is cheaper and just as effective.
