Hi,
Today my friend made a test/fun-to-play -list, with loads of BA -vehicles. He had a Vindicator and two Baal Predators and two other Predators. Corbulo with the dudes (Veterans?) with the different selection of bolter rounds in a pod. Dante as HQ with the Dante-Bomb and a Biker squad with priest...Assault Jump pack -squad and a priest...well, loads of FNP´s to piss me off ...
I had as Eldar, Eldrad, Farseer on bike + 4 x Jetbike + 2 x Bikes (Cannons). 9x Scorpions + Exarch (Claw,Crushing Blow). 2 x 9 x DA´s + Exarch (Shield + Powersword) in a Wave Serpent (tlBL + Holo). 2 x 3 x WW´s (bl-bl), Wraithknight (stock). 5 x Spiders and 6 x Spiders and a Crimson Hunter with Exarch.
It seemed a match for the BA, they had the first and WK was down to 3 wounds...but...little by little the tide changed and i even mishapped (threw a 1!) the 6 Spiders...but the situation in the bottom of the fifth was, that he had just the Drop pod with 2 HP´s and on the 6th, the Scorpion Exarch wrecked it...
The point we discussed was, that in the 6th edition, the "tanks" are almost useless. The amount of Ignore Cover shots and the system of single hit destroying your 3-4 HP vehicle is rendering them as an ornament on your mantle (or shelf more likely...). Normally he tends to kick my *** with Mephiston and some Assault Troops with Jump packs, fliers, drop pods + Dreds, Melta Veterans wrecking my Wave Serpents, you catch my drift...
Do you use ANY of your armored vehicles anymore? If you do, what kind and for what purposes?
Still grinning after winning, but asking was it too easy,
