My mech IG army got smashed by a BT army a few months ago. Dude took tons of terminators with cyclone launchers and put tank hunters on them. Ouch. Your codex definitely has a power build or two.

Man, I feel bad for 'nids with the "everyone has a force weapon!" rule. A big bug that charges a squad of GKs is toast.
Ha, you don't put the Purgation squad inside the Razorback, you dump them in cover and let them open fire. I ran the numbers, and GKs can do a razor-spam from hell list using Coteaz and cheap...
I was wondering why anyone would ever take a dread over a DK, and I guess we now know... Unshakable, unstunnable dread with two twin-linked S8 autocannons for cheap, anyone? DKs apparently don't have...
My own favorites have to do with barrage.
Barrage weapons may fire indirect AND receive the subtraction of BS from scatter if they can see the target! It shouldn't even be an obscure rule, because...
Assuming you just discard duplicate rolls and don't reroll them ("ignore" is odd wording), anyways. I actually got the impression that they were asking you to reroll, but we'll see. The issue is more...
I actually thought a crusader rush was the better option - 9 crusaders, 3 acolytes with PA and meltas, and a chimera. I feel almost bad for any marine squad they hit.
They're super-TWC, but...
But we're OK otherwise? In that case...
I don't comprehend how any shooting army can come even remotely close to stopping three Dreadknights in their current rumored incarnation. They are stupidly...
Working it out? You read the thing and it jumps right the hell out at you. It'd be like "working out" that Dreadknight deep-strike spam would make a mess out of almost any army in the game, or that...
This was my interpretation, too. Makes it slightly less nuts.
Then again, why would you even bother building a GK army? Mechanized acolyte spam looks like the dominant strategy by a mile.
Pretty sweet. If only 40k had good rules for skirmishes in confined spaces like these...
Using codex IG, you can mix and match.
Using the DKoK list, you cannot.
Autocannons are generally the weapon of choice, followed by lascannons and missile launchers.
IG can do it against bad lists, but it's not a viable strategy for them in a competitive environment. Too easy to hide in cover or out of LOS to dodge the worst of most of the weapons.
I agree...
My heavy support section usually looks like:
2x Hydras
2x LRBTs w/ hull lascannon and plasma sponsons
1x Manticore
The Hydra blows open transports, the LRBTs annihilate what was inside - and...
Frankly, some of the Valk kitbashes I've seen look better. It is rather distinctive, though.
BA 2nd wave in January confirmed?
Aside from the hilarity of the situation (Brother-Custodes: "Captain, I LOST THE EMPEROR! I AM SO SORRY!"), I really think that it needs to be an event with actual repercussions. That's what...
I am a glutton for punishment. Or maybe I keep hoping he'll improve. He doesn't.
I firmly believe the 40k team is capable of better. As it is, they're getting killed by lack of innovation.
You forget that Forgotten Realms is Ed Greenwood's baby, and that Ed Greenwood is perhaps the worst writer ever. Every time I read one of his (solely-authored) books, I feel like clawing my eyes out...
Man, I'd love a PDF update to the CSM codex fixing some of the point costs and unit rules (*cough*dreads*cough*), even if it meant waiting until post-6E for a new codex. I mean, the codex would still...
So, you think it's fun to play with one hand tied behind your back? Some of us do not. I adjust my tactics and lists to go with the times, but when you're playing Chaos and they just introduced evil...
I have to admit, advancing 40k's armageddon clock from 11:55PM to 11:59PM would be pretty sweet.
That said, I'm having a fair bit of trouble believing the link from the original post, as it reads...
Truthfully, I suspect that intelligently-designed all-infantry lists using Straken are probably stronger than the stereotypical mechanized lists everyone is so afraid of. That kind of list can not...
Only the very lightest of backgrounds.
My Iron Warriors are part of the 7th Company. They're reasonably friendly with Abaddon, and will go into battle with him and other legions (I have three...
I agree. The only lists that the ABG is really brutal against are the ones that absolutely rely on long-range, non-melta shooting to do their armor penetration. Your typical assault army doesn't care...
All of my Russes have hull lascannons. It's extremely infrequent for me to regret having that capability.
If I'm taking Demolishers in a squad, I run them without sponsons. Individually, I'll at...
