I am sure putting Draigo in that deepstriking unit is completely illegal - or is it? Would he nullify their rule or not? (That is - their 1st turn completely accurate DS - I wouldnt think so since its much the same as Dante's DS) - fill out with suitable scouting dreadknights and run rampant! :D <br /><br />Whats quite comical is I bet those dreads get zero fire at them, anything that can hurt them is probably trying to insta-kill/mass wound the paladins!Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-22903087461700126142011-05-18T14:36:07.915+01:002011-05-18T14:36:07.915+01:00I think that is spot on Atreides.. fun for Blog Wa...I think that is spot on Atreides.. fun for Blog Wars and I think I'd even get it painted to a reasonable standard lol! <br /><br />Think I'd probably go for more Halberds and MC them in the big unit, and the 2 single dudes how about both with Halberds and essentially just run them as one unit for all intents and purposes...maybe even MC their weapons? <br /><br />or keep them bare and in reserve to DS onto objectives using skulls?Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-38477288658145502602011-05-18T12:51:37.684+01:002011-05-18T12:51:37.684+01:00that has to be one of the funniest lists i have ev...that has to be one of the funniest lists i have ever seen. <br /><br />and yes, i think List 1 CAN work, but there are going to be games were you just get destroyed due to bad rolling or a bad matchup. fun for Blog Wars, not so much for other things maybe xDAtreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-50997199534921668782011-05-18T12:29:34.803+01:002011-05-18T12:29:34.803+01:00Neil, I think I love you! lol

Every saving throw after one of the dudes has taken a wound is an emotional roller coaster!! An receives a huge cheers when they save half a dozen wounds each lol... <br /><br />Second list is pretty realistic.. Bully told me about the hammering.. issue with the second one is it has no SC... not Blog Wars compliant lol! <br /><br />Reducing morale? so Fear of the Darkness and Weaken Resolve is pretty much it really... Both of which are taken at -4 to Leadership due to presence of Enhanced Aegis..that means PBS are getting it off on a roll of 4 or less on 2d6.....I'll leave that there... <br /><br />Honest opnion...can list 1 hang?Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-3005195725097492292011-05-18T10:44:25.612+01:002011-05-18T10:44:25.612+01:00the first list is pretty funny. i would be worrie...the first list is pretty funny. i would be worried about lists with lots of melta, low ap blasts, and stuff that reduces morale, since they are not fearless. <br /><br />the second list is much better, and is almost identicle to what Bully destroyed me with a few days ago. (i say destroyed, what i really mean is we drew, but i only had 4 models left, two on an objective, and only killed about 12 of his. i felt bad, genuiniely)Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.com
