Blog Entries: 5 | ypu raise a good point. however, this army is meant to be Fairly static, but flexable. as for claiming table quaters, its fairly bad. but, the reasoning behind the list is simple. form the three tactical squads up, so if possible they have over lapping fields of fire. then, either at the begining of the game, or some time during the first two turns, move the devs to either flank, and then shoot the hell outta nything, as they can deal with both tanks and troops effectively. as for the HQ suad, ill use them as a counter attacking uint. if a shock troop unit assualts, say a tac squad. these guys will jump out and counter attack, hopefully ending the combat on that turn. as foir the speeders. ive faced them in the past, and a pair working as a tag team, and using the rule: you them, and then you dont. CAUSE YOUR DEAD. stratagy, has work wonders on me in the past, i forget how many squads have been chewed up against speeders that have moved in for a turn, chew them up so they cant effectively fight back, and then flown off again. annoying. >< so, i though since i needed some fast moveing firepower, taht i would take some speeders and see how i got on.

| [quote=Captain Slow;68755] HQ Captain Braxton: 94pts Power Weapon bolt pistol Terminator Honours furious charge [quote] This guy is decent... nice and cheap and disposable. However, just as a suggestion... you might want to consider either a chaplain or a iron halo simply because they have surviveablity! [quote] Command Squad Imperator: 157pts Apothocary Veteran SGT with Powerfist 2 Marines with Flamers 1 marine with CCW Furious Charge TROOPS [quote] Bodies bodies bodies bodies! What is it with people and 5 man assault squads? They don't work. Sorry to be harsh there, but if you ever play against any horde army (IG, Nids, Orks) and get involved in CC with small squads YOU WILL LOSE it doesn't matter how good your armor is, if you attack first, if you hit more often... they'll outnumber you 2:1 at the least... 10 hormaguants get 30 attacks when they charge... and thats a SMALL hormaguant squad... i'd say that 16-24 was a much more standard size... other than that... this squad is quite good... though, as a suggestion, you might want to put them in a rhino...

Over all I don't like the idea of static lists... but that is from my playing experiences of fighting FAST armies... ones that will close with you and then wipe you out in CC... which means that I'm going mobile... getting things like assault marines... rhinos... and lanspeeders... Still... I'm assuming that you have some decent 40k experience... and you've chosen a static list for a reason...

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: 1500pts of yellow gits. AKA imperial fists. I have my reasons for chooseing this list, and building it the way i have. well the CMD sqd and the cpt, are designed to be a counter attack unit. so they wait for anouther unit charge one of my front line Tac squads and the try and chew them up ASAP. as for the Heavy amount of Big guns in the Tac squads. simple Really, i dont want them moveing all game. as an army list taht could complete objectives its not brilliant i grant you. but this list is nto designed to play like that. it can be moblie, just not very mobile. simply put, this army, will only have 3 effective turns of moveing. so the tac squads will leapfrog each other. effectively giveing me a weak but contin ues wave of shooting. as for the tank hunter on the Heavy bolter sqd. you would not belive how effective that is. simply because of the sheer amount of shots they have im bound to get some penetrations. even on Armour 12 vehicles like dreados. its work for me in the past. many a time ive seen a dreado get chew up to hell, simply becasue of the sheer amount of shots a squad like this cna pump out.

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: 1500pts of yellow gits. AKA imperial fists. Dave, aside from the myriad of spelling mistakes it looks good. I agree with Master on the Tank Hunting Heavy Bolters but you have played FAR more games of 40k than me so I shall trust your instincts ^^ My only concern is that if a big nasty unit of chaos terminators with Huron Blackheart (Well any chaos lord but i have Huron so is easy for me to imagine) deep strikes and gets the charge on your Command Squad. To my inexperienced eye it looks as if you dont have much to fight them off. It really does seem to be a Charge or die kind of unit =\ But hey your list =D And if I am right then I found a way to take down your Command Squad. If not i just wasted several minutes typing this.

Blog Entries: 8  | Re: 1500pts of yellow gits. AKA imperial fists. Zeb i take it you mean if the deep striking terminators survive a turn of shooting against them. From what i see is this list is very static but static is good. This list is only goin to play one way and thats with counter attacking and shooting. the speeders may just get to be a nuisance and not actually get the job done. Against Horde armies (Orks, Nids etc) this will work but against anything that can shoot better (Tau, Guard etc) it will struggle. Overall nice one.
