Tackling Super Heavies?

[rusty84]

Hi guys,
managed to get a couple of apoc games in over the bank holiday weekend and came up against an IG Baneblade for the first time. I have a vanilla marines force and really struggled to even threaten it. I know I need to add a few more lascannons to my army and hopefully a flyer isnt too far away, I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or tried and tested tactis for getting to grips with super heavies?
Cheers

Apocalypse is largely about D weapons. If you are facing super heavies, you want them.

[Tyrendian]

either that, or the tried and true suicide... Drop Pod Sternguard/Ironclad with meltas or THSSminators, both preferably in large numbers (don't expect many to survive tho...)

[Demonus]

Yep 1 drop pod full of melta guys should be able to smoke a super heavy IG tank. Hell last year's apoc game, mine didnt even last 1 turn. IG basilisk battery destroyed me without even firing one of my guns. 500pts worth of nothin

[Denzark]

6th ed veh rules leads me to believe hth against it is the best thing - with meltas before the charge.

Thanks guys!

This little ruse worked pretty well for my Eldar back at Easter, in the previous incarnation of Apocalypse.

Hornet Formation gave me a Webway Portal acting as my table edge.
Out pop 29 Fire Dragons, split across four Units with a Farseer just for good luck...

Oh, dear...
Your 2,500 point, 10 Structure Point (30 HP) Chaos Titan has just blown up on Turn One without firing a shot...

There's pretty much no superheavy I can think of that can survive its points worth of anti-tank infantry. The trick is just getting them there. That's a pretty awesome way to solve that problem, Pssyche.

[GrauGeist]

A lot of this kind of thing comes down to who gets the first shot.

But with that Infantry, it's a challenge getting them built and loaded for bear.

Cheers, think im gonna tailor my Sternguard to that specific role!
