Trollimus, trust us when we say that if you play by the strict rules the game does not function. There are plenty of rules where it is strongly implied, and if you read it you would not think twice about what it was supposed to do, however by strict wording it does not work. Cant remember any specifics off the top of my head but I am sure some people could list a few.


Also aegis is a no brainer in all of my lists.

That's just plain TFG behaviour, is it not? I wouldn't feel bad to just up and say "Not playing you anymore.", I wouldn't even care if he called me a rage quitter, because seriously, while that is totally legal, it's also a very crappy thing to do in a game meant to be casual fun.


Just so that you know, the entire term "rage quitter" is 100% a trolling attempt.

And considering the dude you quoted's name is "TrollimusMaximus," well...

You should never, ever take anyone who calls you a "rage quitter" seriously. Just saying.

On topic, I think any cheap scoring unit with a low armor save and no wargear would be a great unit to place inside of a ADL with a Quadgun.

I don't see the terrain issue being as significant as people make it out to be. AGLs can be useful regardless of how someone plans to use terrain.

On the one hand, this is probably a non-issue 99% of the time. When I set up terrain on the board, the goal is to give my units useful fortifications that help my battle strategy. I can't think of a game where someone set up terrain specifically to deny the use of one of my units or how this would really advance what I am looking to do with my army. If anything, placing terrain where it can't be used would be a waste.

On the other hand, the main reason I choose an ADL is for the Quad Gun, which is a cheap option for anti-air for my Chaos army. Typically, there is something blocking it's visibility, at least partially. I don't think the value of a Quad Gun goes down when there are some limits to what it can shoot at, in fact, having a building in front of it likely means my opponent is going to forget about it when moving his units. I could see obstructions as an advantage in certain situations.
