following all the rules costsing 270 and taking up 2 rare choices,

would you?
hell yea
but is it worth chucking away those rare choices. you would have to lose your earthshaker and bull centars, im talkin 2000 pts of course
I have and will never again. That thing ate my whole bloody army.

Same here. It charged my unit of warriors and ate them all....

Its too expensive in my opinion. Maybe if it was only 1 rare choice.

In 3,000pts hell yes, in 2000 id go for the shaker.
@ Uzkul - thats what hobbos are for! I had that problem with my chaos army til I intorduced some strategically placed warhounds
If it was 1 rare: Maybe
As is: No

However if you look at my army blog I do use a Hellcannon, simply it is a count as for my Earthshaker, the model is way too cool to not have in my army.

Thats what i do with my 2 hellcannons. Using them as earthshakers is the best thing they can be used for at the moment since you cant use SOC anymore

Actually, you can use SoC, just not in GW tournaments. Its got exactly the same conditions imposed as the CD list has in the UK
Only problem I have with the Hellcannon is that fluff wise its a heavy siege cannon.  Armies don't take these sorts of siege cannons to regular battlefields, only to sieges.

Smaller cannons sure, being those along.

Its why in my list I'm writing I'm weakening the Hellcannon a bit.
You just have to sort the fluff for you're battles. It could represent a raid or sally to destroy seigeworks by the defending army. Panicking, thecommander orders his heavy artillery to redirect its fire on the attackers
I tried the Slave thing, only for it to eat them and all my war machines.
Two Earthshakers are a much better choice. People will still play you - I mean what else can you take? Bull Centaurs? *roll eyes*

That why I have Ogres for the "other" rare slot.

It'd make an interesting alternative to the Earthshaker at any rate. It says in the SoC book its 1 rare for Archaon's horde, two for HoC. What do you think it would be for CDs?

i still say hell canon ! bullcentaurs don't eat the troops.at least it can spew out body parts as a breath weapond #6 damage


Yes but BCs also don't eat your own troops as well.

If you can use Basilisks in 40k then why not use Hell Cannons in Fantasy?  The weapon ranges are all kind of weird in Warhammer anyway.
Maybe your dice worship Malal...
I'm not sure but clearly its a fast growing cult
Its not heresy to recognise the spread of other cults, we all know there is only one true carb-based faith. RA-men
