...Stop it - your tongue is tickling my arsehole ;) <br /><br />On the Scarabs.. do you wonder if the typical list will shift away from mass transport? I really don't see it happening that much, but I can envisage more hybrid armies. Certainly to begin with anyway, as a knee-jerk response.. In which case, do I need 2 groups? I may shift to one group of 10 and then get a second flier in there.. <br /><br />The CCB's you would take out with close range melta.. absolutely scrapheap those fuckers.Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-4342763365737033492012-07-06T19:48:48.097+01:002012-07-06T19:48:48.097+01:00Actually mate the list is quite scary, being able ...Actually mate the list is quite scary, being able to put down that much Gauss wherever the fuck you like is something I wouldnt be able to defend against. Scarabs to piss off and annoy and two Barge Lords to carve up whatever they like with the awesome chariot rules. Oh and lets not forget the 3 Tesla barges that will glance Rhinos and Razorback into next week.<br /><br />My counter attack would struggle, Str 8 Vs all that AV13 and more often that not this would be concentrated on the Command barges who would need 5 glances to take out! AARRRRG!<br /><br />All in all its a damn nasty list and in yours hands I know it would do well.

I only ever ran 5 anyway in the Wolf army.. just to get the boys in position.. <br /><br />That said, more time is needed really to judge.. <br /><br />Back on topic, you don't feel overly threatened by the above list do you Brad?Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-47781061918949266292012-07-05T21:10:14.823+01:002012-07-05T21:10:14.823+01:00I've got three games of 6th in so far, the fir...I've got three games of 6th in so far, the first was just a rules fest that didn't get past turn 4 as we were going over rules and talking shit a lot. My second game was a more brutal affair where I ran a Logan wing / mech hybrid list. Logan on foot with a mixed unit of Wolf Guard pretty much soaked up everything that was thrown at them thanks to Logan taking point and allocating wounds out.<br /><br />I then did a Misfortune/Combi Plasma combo on a giant assault blob dropping 6 out of 10 BT Assault Terminators with TH/SS. So yea Combi Plas = Win<br /><br />I need to try out my Mech Grey Hunter list as the Rhinos I took in that game were taken out like paper planes. I'm curious how ana rmy with more armour saturation will work.<br /><br />Lone Wolves are better than before, I ran three of them and used them as a rock hard skirmish screen. I took a pet dog on each and used it to sling shot charge them about. The nerf to FNP is offset slightyl by the fact you get it against anything and you just laugh at Power Weapons, I'm looking at you Deathcult Dickheads!<br /><br />Anyway still lots more testing to do yet, these are good times :)Bradimus Primehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338358016421779720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-43568729515955042002012-07-05T20:50:18.011+01:002012-07-05T20:50:18.011+01:00Haha! a cheeky shot across the banter brow from Br...Haha! a cheeky shot across the banter brow from Brad.. <br />Just 5 Barges and 1 UFO.. Upped my troop numbers and got a cheeky flier in. I may stretch to 2 as standard...we'll see how it all works out.. <br /><br />What are your early forays into 6th telling you Bradimus? Lone Wolves rock still and a few more combi plasma's..otherwise business as usual?Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-51546125517157684492012-07-05T20:43:46.006+01:002012-07-05T20:43:46.006+01:00Wow Ven that list looks quite tame, I was expectin...Wow Ven that list looks quite tame, I was expecting 15 flying saucers and soem Bhaji's ;)Bradimus Primehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338358016421779720noreply@blogger.com
