Sorry but this is just too much. Such a terrible strategy. I can still wipe the unit EASILY without much effort. I simply move around the base of that nice little picnic basket you packed for me and then kill the
NS. No room to deploy means you still fry. This will not be a thing because your seriously talking about wasting points just to try to get closer, only if the player your facing is a bad player.
As I recall someone did the math, it would take 30+ 32MM bases to completely surround a flying base, because you have a 3" deployment zone, and must be more than 1 inch away from enemy models. Which means circling the base isn't sufficient (because they could just place 2" out), you need a circle one inch out from the base to completely eliminate deployment. This fact is why storm ravens are still popular with marines for dropping units off, because it's almost impossible to pull off. It's one of those urban myths from the early days of 8th ed.
That someones math sucks. A 32mm base is an inch and a quarter wide, so two models at max 2" coherency is 4.5" which is the total length of an oval base. Hold on....
Just used actual bases, it takes exactly 8 32mm bases to cock block a flight base from deploying it's contents. Thats 2" coherency and just over 1" from it's base going fully around it. Literally impossible to deploy anything from that.
Like I said, terrible stratagy. Just Veil the unit up or take wraiths, who are vastly superior to either version of lich guard.
