Hullo, folks!
I'll jump right in my first '40kterra' post:
I barely lost against Slaanesh Noise makers, a mere 55 or so points on a 2k game. Fun game, though. Good opponent. Dramatic dice. I made 4 Invulnerable saves in termie armor in one spot, and then he turned around and ran some of my SMs off the table. I had three speeders and a broken legged dread to his Chaos Lord (one more wound!), and two troop squads.

But have I *got* to learn to keep a buffer zone between me and the stupid Icon bearers. I'm really annoyed with myself for having had 2 terminator crews that I could have kept well back, and fired and moved with lotsa dice. Instead, like a dork, I had them lined up behind the tactical squads.
My opponent had two great scatters that set up his little girls who then gave my terminator crew lethal lap dances.
I did eventually fry the little vixens with torandos, once the girls had relieved themselves of their h2h combat burdens...
[heavy sarcasm there]

Any helpful hints, or is it just that obvious: 18 inches, err, 19 inches?
