As a guard player, I can tell you that the Punishers can dish out the hurt. But even Guard find 600 points to be a little questionable sometimes. And given how fast they can be glanced to death, I...
Actually, I had thought of using Creed to outflank that squadron. The LR being a heavy can only move 6 inches, never able to move further. But having to worry about those things appearing on you...
I ran a squadron of two with Pask in one. The squadron mulched a stealth suit squad in cover. So I really am getting happy with them. I have so many other anti armor options, I think I need to...
So I recently started using An LR Punisher with heavy Bolter sponsons and Heavy stubber. When run in a squadron, they chew their way through squads quickly. But I'm not sure if they are really...
Honestly, My problem with the Helguns is the fact that they can burn right through the space marine armor, but then have an extremely hard time hurting the skin underneath it. They should be S4 or 5...
I once had somebody, in a friendly game, question the legality of using my Hydras. I pointed out to him that since I had an entry in my codex for them, they were legal. He then asked if they had...
I have to wonder at the wisdom or even the need to take to CCS, much less two Ordnance officers that always scatter. I have never had very much luck with them. I would suggest dropping one of the...
Actually, shotguns in that squad of vets isn't bad. If you take the Demolitions to give the entire squad melta bombs, it works quite nice. Also, it keeps the range the same for all the weapons in...
Okay, since none of your infantry squads have a vox, it is wasted points. You only gain the benefit of a vox if both the issuing squad and receiving squad have them.
When I run a CCS, I tend to...
Sounds to me like you didn't fully discuss what type of rules you were going to use for your game. Over the weekend I played a 2v2 game. My guard and Chaos marines fighting Tau and Nids. We didn't...
You can only put one of the PCS units in the Vendetta. Also, are you looking at having the blob squads sit on objectives, or be somewhat mobile? If you want them moving around, drop the HWTs. No...
Given how many monstrous creature you have, or have Move Through Cover, I don't see the problem. And also, would a gaunt really throw something, or just charge in? Of course, how often do you have...
In this one: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/h/Heavy_Artillery.pdf it is listed as Artillery, immobile.
In this one:...
The sabre platforms ar not listed as immobile vehicles in the same way the the Earthshaker platforms are. the Sabre platform is listed as artillery, using the rule from pg.46. The Earthshaker is...
If those were the platforms he had mentioned in his post, then I would agree with you. However, he mentioned the Basilisk (which is the name of the tank that carries the Earthshaker cannon) and...
If they were using the artillery rule in the BRB, then I would agree. However, given also, that they do not have a crew number listed with them, how are you to issue orders to them? Given also,...
Yes, but looking at the Forgeworld updates: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/v/vehicle6thupdates.pdf They list those types of platforms as Immobile Vehicles. I would say that this...
I really don't think you can compare a fixed emplacement that requires a crew of four to that of a man portable weapon that only requires two people. Also, there is the consideration that a...
When I was in the U.S. army, it was the NCO's job (sergeants of all sorts) to take care of the mundane tasks. Like making sure the us grunts were tying our boots correctly, kept our weapons...
No, he carries his laspistol and CCW. You can then have one of the regular soldiers carry one special weapon (except for vets or special weapon squads, which can get three special weapons). The...
sounds to me like this is something that would have to either be house ruled, or worked out with you and your opponent. You would have to discuss what type of cover it was and how it might affect...
The best way to fight Marines is like the Tau do. Make them pay such a high price getting into assault range that they can't kill you. That means killing them at long range. with high strength...
I used to love Straken with his furious charge, but since he can no longer go at the same time as the Marines I would charge him against, him and his squad take a hell of a beating before he gets his...
I use my Vendetta's for taking out flyers. Of course, nobody locally doesn't have the money to field the necron air force, much less want too.
