One of our local guys was using two of these squads to great effect.

Basically they were barebones 5-man squads with 2 meltas. Total suicide squads, but opponents focusing on them would have...

Ha. Like I'd tell any of you.

In all seriousness, just being nice to the other guy seems to build up a reservoir of good karma that helps me out.

You'll note that I didn't suggest you ONLY play against top tier lists, if Pyriel suggested that then I don't agree with him. I actually suggested just playing against one. I'd be overjoyed to...

Cool report. I love killing wraithlords with no-retreat wounds.

Very cinematic having the game be fought as the sun is setting. That's a pretty cool random game length mechanism :D



If...

Just remember that you can't guide your dire avengers before they disembark from their transport. Not that you'd want to with only five of them, but it bears mentioning.

First off, thanks for the batreps, I've been reading them regularly and checking back for new updates.




While I think Pyriel overstates the ease with which you dispatch your opponents, he...

Inspired by all the news of the upcoming Blood Angel release, I brought my Flesh Tearers (second founding Blood Angel successor chapter) out of cold storage last Saturday. I went up against Space...

Anyone bothered to look a the CD's legal notifications? Perhaps we'll find sentence about the "8-Sided Star of Chaos symbol is used by permission of Games Workshop LTD".

Doubtful, but possible.

Most definitely. 10 nobz (or even 20 boyz) delivered into combat will usually do more than killkannon ever will. Not to say that there is not a place for shooty wagons, just that your nobz need...

I use two squad of 5 with meltas in my infantry horde list. It's bland and a bit unoriginal, but they are very reliable for a deepstriking suicide unit. A little while ago they dropped in on the...

As an ork player, I don't have meltaguns. We skate by on hitting vehicles on rear armor with our mighty power klaws and dreadnought close combat weaponry.

Oh... and killing things with armor 12...

Oh! The angst!

People who expect me to listen to why their latest and greatest theoretical list is the absolute best. I mean, I love theory-hammer like anyone else, but save it for when you...

I am so relieved that someone else is having this problem. We should start a support group.

Do yours run away too? Mine are not only blind but also cowardly!

I'm not sure if it's necessary for EVERY army, but I do know that playing against a competent Eldar or Dual-Lash chaos player WITHOUT psychic defenses have been some of my most challenging games.
...

@the OP.

Oh... you're being sarcastic. Took a minute to get that through my thick skull. :)

I wouldn't worry too much about the results of one game. Often inaugural battle reports will...

I always tell my opponent what's in my chimeras/battlewagons. This is 40k, not a freaking shell game.

It's what you said, but having a sniper, a AT specialist and a fellow carrying a sword and bombs on his person in your PCS certainly suggests that you think the role of a platoon command to be for...

Well, I get the impression that special forces get whatever the heck they need for their mission, so they'd probably be more comparable to a stormtrooper or veteran squad. So I guess if your...

Yeah, I think they make you choose between "power fist boxing" or "power weapon fencing" in OTS. Also, "strapping a meltabomb to a moving tank 101" is recommended. :D

I think the equivalent...

One interesting thing I'm getting out of this conversation is that Power Fists/Klaws are a great way to help ensure that your steamroller units won't get tarpitted. Sure it won't help against the...

Hang on. How did it blow up a leman russ? IIRC, the barrage rules state that if the blast marker hole is over the vehicle then the vehicle is hit on side armor which is too high for the whirly to...

You'd think so, right? But anything with strength 6+ just mashes the little bugs into paste and kills the rest with fearless wounds. Usually (but not always) units worth tarpitting will be able to...

I could see replacing the hull weapon with a flamer (in fact that is precisely what I'm doing with my PCS chimera), but the multilaser has been so dang useful in a variety of roles that I'd be...

You must see a lot of horde guard. I usually see mechanized variants - either chimeras or valkyrie based. Against such a list, the Whirly is good once you get them out of the transports. But so...

As an Ork player, I'm most frightened of seeing burnaz across the table, because they annihilate my regular boyz. However, 2 units of 10 lootaz usually find their way into my lists of 1850+. The...
