Okay...now in hand to hand...my troops can eat his troops...no problem there.

What am I missing when it comes to BA?

In close combat, if he has a priest, your troops won't beat his in close combat, just a speculation.

Also, I prefer the S10 AP1 orbital bombardment, though YMMV.

I have found melta to be better for the pesky gunline tanks...

so even if i scatter...s8 down to s4...roll two d6 and take the highest...add a d6 for melta...does better on partial hits

True, never thought about it like that, very hard for them to cram 5 or 6 tanks in 800 points though.

in 800 points?...sorry I don't follow

Nevermind, that "oops" in the other thread, that *would* have cleared things up...

Ignore that, i'll sum it up, I don't play DH at high points levels, so I wouldn't face many tank lines.

Ah...well I have had it wreck leafblower tactics. But the AP 1 on the lance strike is nice...too bad it doesnt have the "lance rule"
