    With shrouding. Don't forget the shrouding. That means that you probably were already 18" away in nearby cover anyway. And if you have somebody truly nasty like Vect with you, it means that you...

    Sems to me that the key for an assault army of any type is mass, specifically mass that gets you into a declared multi charge against every (or almost every) unit. The reason is that crazy...

    Nothing here says you can't deploy a model and its unit as part of the Infiltration so long as the models are in unit coherency. All deployment happens simultaneously aside from infiltrate. There...

    Tau are an odd thing but yes, SOME Tau units cause me headaches. Not the firewarriors obviously. But the Suits and especially the Drones are a big problem for me. I played a wild list at BAO that...

    Eldar and Dark Eldar are an EXCELLENT combo. And despite common misconceptions, there is no thematic reason why they would not work together, aside possibly from Incubi.

    I do need to point out that after dumping something out of a Land Raider far from it's target, you've typically made back points no matter how quickly they kill you afterwards.

    Having said that,...

    I ran Splinter cannons for a while, before the Scourges. The simple reality is that even with the rerollable and numerous blasters and lance weapons elsewhere in the list the giant unit is...

    In 5th edition, my tournament lists focused around a lot of close combat mixed with shooting and relied heavily on the Flyer kits for sheer turn-one power. Flyers of course have gotten even better...

    Agonizers are hard to quantify now that they are only AP3. On a Hekatrix, they will certainly get you more wounds vs. Marines and MCs. Vs. Terminators, they might indeed get you less.

    So to balance out people taking pre-placed cover saves and hydra platforms, GW allows models to assault them. This issue came up lately when my opponent took a very small elite force and I took a...
