In FPS's we just practised against the best team we could find (did help that I was friends with the world #1 team, and they would routinely give us a hiding, give us our their demo's and chat to us about what they exposed). In 40K maybe its just a case of tailoring lists. <br /><br />Tailoring is bad for the person that is tailoring, but if its not their actual list but just a wildcard in your testing it could be beneficial in pushing your list to its limits. <br /><br />Right now wildcards for me for our gauntlet probably will be orks/eldar and maybe something else. Sort of thing you see at times, but not enough to practice routinely against. <br /><br />The gauntlet is hard as well as you need to be somewhat detached, the temptation is to put your own spin on a list too much, and at that stage your just testing your own list lol.<br /><br />Though there is merits in just doing what Stelek calls the litmus test, but only every so often.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-50251167217676918582012-03-18T10:27:18.918+00:002012-03-18T10:27:18.918+00:00That's a fair point, but we've all played ...That's a fair point, but we've all played against that a lot and know how to play it.. the idea is to play stuff we've not come across but strong lists that could give us problems.. <br /><br />The nasty Coteaz spam is tough.. like this: <br /><br />Coteaz<br />Ven Dread - Psyfle <br />10 Purifiers - 4 Cannons, 4 Halberds, Hammer, Rhino - Searchlights <br />10 Purifiers - 4 Cannons, 4 Halberds, Hammer, Rhino - Searchlights <br />5 x 3 Aco's - Razorback- Psybolts <br />1 x 5 Strikes - Psycannon, Razorback - Psybolts <br />3 x Psyfledread <br /><br />The Purifiers can combat squad and steal 2 aco's rides, leaving them in reserve to walk on later. <br />4 Dreads, 5 Cannon units, 6 PsybacksVenerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-64436571880276148902012-03-18T10:16:05.209+00:002012-03-18T10:16:05.209+00:00Its a good list to test against, but I wouldn'...Its a good list to test against, but I wouldn't use it for a gauntlet army because ... of what you said.<br /><br />You've seen it once at 2k, and really the point of the gauntlet (always has and always will be, in any game) to practice against the common lists/setups you'll see. <br /><br />The list itself is fine, and will defo give most people problems, but I'd just be more aware of the list and run a more typical GK UK tourney list as the gauntlet version (3x dreads, 1 ven dread + coteaz / purifier spam seems to be the standard in all the placing lists I see).Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.com
