1000 pt Flesh Tearer's

[Bob821]

You know the trap you have fallen in to hear is one I often fall in too... You have made your assault unit to powerful! Seth, Chaplin and 10 death company with toys will
spank most units in a single turn. This leaves them stood out in the open probably on the wrong side of the battle field with 800 - 900 points of pissed of xenos scum all
around them and about to be shot to bits!

I have been running death company with out a chaplin for a while now. The are still mega now that rage has taken a buff in 6th. Have you thought about taking no
transports and just running accross the battle field? Take Seth or a Reculsiarch as your HQ and spend the rest of your points of 4 or 5 squads of death company each
with a single power fist and a couple of death company dreads! Very Angry marines!

As a note do not try this against any one mega shooty. My brother just got his new Tau Codex... Sigh.

[Firecrest]

unless he takes astorath, he's limited to 1 death company.

If you are not going to take a transport, you should take a Reclusiarch with Jump Pack, and Death Co with Jump Pack, so they can fly across the field!

D'oh! Not sure what I carry round in my head some times but its sure not brains.

I would have said death company with jump packs but they are so expensive you don't get very many for you points.

[Tynskel]

Well, any transport that is worth it would be the same as the jump packs. so, if you aren't taking jump packs, take a transport.

To be fair those 800-900 pts of enemy troops will have a few concerns other than just my DC guys, Seth, chaplain and Dread... namely the Baal Pred, Stormraven and about 2k points of Imperial Fists as this will usually be being used as an allied contingent, not as an army by itelf.

[Anggul]

You really don't need all those power weapons on the Death Company, they're going to beat pretty much anything in the game anyway.

I see... well that would be very nasty indeed. You did not say at the start that these where an allied force. I'd still becarful about running up the field with these guys to distant from the bulk of you main army.

If you where running these on there own you would be leaving you Baal pred on the board on its own for at least a turn possably two or even three! Before the Storm Raven turned up this would probably mean there is no Baal Pred left to support you assualt units.

Sorry yes you did.

I might drop 2 of them and use the 30 points to give the Baal Pred some Heavy Bolter sponsons, not sure yet.
