X vs Y. Blight drone VS Storm talon. UPDATED 7TH ED

Both of these units are basicaly the same thing but one loves chaos, the other not so much. In this post i will decide which is better and why. I will either help your decision, or confuse you even more. Lets begin.

Blight drone:
Pros:

• Has a 5+ inun, and ignores shaken and stunned results, and a 2+ shrouded jink cover save!!
• It has 12 front armour
• 3 weapons profiles to chose from (one of which is a battle cannon!)
• Can come in squads of 3

Cons:

• Only BS 2
• Back armour 10

Storm talon:
Pros:

• Can escort units
• Immune to melta
• Has strafing run (addition BS against certain targets)
• Lots of weapon choices
• BS 4
• Cheaper then the blight drone

Cons:

• Can only go solo
• Only armour 11 all round

Its obvious that the blight drone is far tougher then the storm talon (even if it is immune to melta). But storm talon does have a higher choice of weapons to choose from the equip itself for different enemies, and is cheaper. In the end the blight drone has 'more' weapons (3 weapon profiles compared to the talon's 2 max - oh wait it can have a missile launcher, 3 profiles max). The ST is cheaper and better at shooting things while the BD is tougher. It all comes down to their basic weapons.

Blight drone:

• Strength 6 flamer
• Half range Battle cannon
• Twin linked reaper autocannon

Storm talon:

• Twin linked assult cannon
• Twin linked heavy bolter (or lascannon, or typhoon launcher, or skyhammer launcher)

At only BS2 the BD will be missing alot of the time, on the other hand the ST has high balistic skil (especially against ground targets due to strafing run) and is twin linked so it is almost guarantted to hit, but with less area covered (only small blasts or solid dice rolls compared to the drones multitude of templates)

My verdict, the ST is for precision kills, taking out flyers and tanks, while the BD is better against infantry so it can use its flamer up close, don't even bother with flyers. One v One im not so sure who would win, as the talon could is really good at anti air, but the drone is so tough even though it has 2 HP, that 2+ cover save is really what makes it. In the end i am going to be baised and say the drone is better as it is alligned to chao-GLORY TO NURGLE!!!

Cheers
Until then.
