I think in my head I was just dead set on ha...Yeah. I think in my head I was just dead set on having a foot GK list. <br /><br />I am thinking about playing around with a reserve/scout manipulation list, something like:<br /><br />GK Master w/ PsyC or Incinerator + Grenades<br />Brother Captain<br /><br />5x Terms w/ Psycannon Halberds<br />10x GK SS w/ 2x PsyC DH Rhino<br />9x GK SS w/ 1x PsyC DH Rhino<br /><br />7 or 8 x Purifiers w/ 2x PsyC 2x DH Rhino<br /><br />StormRaven <br /><br />Throw the GKM and Terms in the Stormraven, give them scout at the very least. Going 1st - Set up an Alpha drop, if going 2nd Outflank (thats what the bro capt is for). 2nd unit to get scout is purifiers and 3rd is one of the other rhinos. <br /><br />Pointy - yes. Could be fun.<br /><br />Guess a footlist could work w/ a GKM and Libby - using scout to get a big unit into midfield and cover early (think 10x terminators).<br /><br />@ven didnt quite meant razor spam in that sense, just I feel looking at these lists (they were my first idea's, including a crowe + x3 purifiers, + psyfileman dreads + GK SS for backfield) they just were a bit more "bland" than I wanted out of the codex. <br /><br />I am yet to see it properly though I have to say, not seen any scans on the net, and not been to the store - though 1 of the store guys has been basically reading it to me over the phone lolBullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-66243623856763422512011-03-16T19:47:45.571+00:002011-03-16T19:47:45.571+00:00@Bully.. on lists...

I don't think actual razorspam is possible. <br />The costs of the strike squads etc stop this, that's why I have gone for full size squads to combat squad and use the Razors as unstoppable (lol) chariots for the Hammer Justicar... <br />They may not even combat squad in KP games, just using the Razors for cover with Shrouding making them damn tough, the vehicles too. <br />3+ cover on the Dreads from Razors with Fortitude too? that's sweet. <br /><br />I thought about running ridiculous shit, but it is just that. Ridiculous...whacking all that super expensive shit in one unit or two or three units just seems foolish... but I dunno...maybe Paladin armies are viable...I doubt it tbh. <br /><br />As for foot armies not being viable...24" is a big issue, but can be negated I think through objective placement, deployment etc, one turn of moving and running using Shrouding and then in place for good midfield coverage for the rest of the game... <br /><br />I don't know. <br /><br />it's very early...Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-64854379802221510642011-03-16T19:47:13.027+00:002011-03-16T19:47:13.027+00:00i think a foot, or at least a hybrid list, will be...i think a foot, or at least a hybrid list, will be completely viable. i'm certainly planning on doing it. if the last tournament taught me anything its that crazy shit can work if you know your army and play well. it might not work as reliably or as often, but with where i am in my head with this hobby right now, thats worth it.Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-71805847880964236782011-03-16T18:50:02.083+00:002011-03-16T18:50:02.083+00:00Thats a pain Andy, just call in sick on the day, I...Thats a pain Andy, just call in sick on the day, I am sure she won't mind, or question that your doctor is in Brighton ..<br /><br />Good thouhgts Ven - I think the "one army" idea is best. I am gutted that I didn't find my scheme earlier so I could do my Angels as this - but I learnt my lesson - all my marine stuff will be the same now. <br /><br />I've seen a few people say that Andy "your fluff cant be that good" etc... my answer is "who cares? I've made the chapter up anyway ...." end of the day its not like your actually taking part in a continuous story, if the other person wants to think they are something thats up to them, but if your happy that one day your Chapter of the Awesome like to bite things in combat and that riding on wolves is a good idea, and the next day one of the dudes decides that if he fills a cup with blood and screams a bit that everyone will get overly excited and charge into combat a little bit harder - then that's the way it is. <br /><br />I am kind of doing the same thing as you Ven though combining Dark Angel models + my terminators (cross breed of marines and grey knights) and my GK's into one glorious ambiguous "chapter".<br /><br />As for the list - I am not feeling right about these lists atm - I really like the libby and GKM but do not like the idea of them footslogging into battle behind rhino's or razor backs. Having chatted with a mate about it, I am probably going down the "ridiculous" route. Draigo in a stormraven - at the very least making it scout (or outflank) with lots of terms, or a few paladins and a couple of dreadknights (hopefully getting scouting on them as well lol) or something like mordrak and and some terminators in LR/SR. I just don't know if I want to make my GK's razorspam - I was really hoping the psycannons were 36" so a footlist was viable.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-56613184448802816322011-03-16T13:26:48.357+00:002011-03-16T13:26:48.357+00:00nope, sodding step-sisters wedding. i am really p...nope, sodding step-sisters wedding. i am really pissed about it too. need to cancel the ticket i suppose :(Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-12639517513021713282011-03-16T13:09:16.520+00:002011-03-16T13:09:16.520+00:00@ D... good to see you too mate, if only very brie...@ D... good to see you too mate, if only very briefly. I think the 'Blood Hunters' project could very well solve my shiny toy syndrome...just adding detachments from other codices will help to have a) painted armies all the time and b) variety in my game play. <br /><br />I'll be on on Tuesday and try and organise a game dude. <br /><br />@Atreides.. i lol'd. All the heavy bolters are ordered and all the company champion shoulder pads ordered for them too...will fit in perfectly... <br /><br />So you still in for Brighton then?

CHAPTERS CANT CHANGE THEIR TACTICS BASED ON THE SITUATION THEY ARE IN BECAUSE DESPITE BEING SUPERHUMAN WARRIORS THEY ARE ENTIRELY UNABLE TO THINK AT ALL AND JUST BLINDLY FOLLOW A STUPID BOOK WHICH WAS ONLY EVER MEANT AS A GUIDELINE. THIS MAKES ME RAGE!!! IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY ARE A MADE UP CHAPTER! YOUR FLUFF CANNOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO COVER ALL EVENTUALITIES. YOU ARE KILLING MY HOBBY.<br /><br />ahem. basically, i say go for it.Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-20358261143208049092011-03-16T10:23:41.943+00:002011-03-16T10:23:41.943+00:00Welcome back!
