Although not a game winner, or a points killer, I did help me win a game.

a squad of 2 armored sentinels. I forgot what gun.

They held up a dreadknight for 3 turns in close combat.

And that's why people should never underestimate sentinels. I saw one armored sentinel run into CC with a 20 ork mob and tie them up the whole game.

It really depends how you play them and their gear.

A sentinal with an autocannon or lascannon can survive a whole game and take out just enough to make them worth it. Plus, they can go in and tie up a unit with close combat. I have a friend who swears by them and takes them every game with plasma cannons.

With tanks they rock, they get ignored making them even better.

BT crusader squad (10 initiates 10 neophytes 1 chaplain).

Usually they will overwelming win combat and sometimes clean up with a sweeping advance. Either way they kill loads of dudes.

Wing Commander





TCS Midway

Tau Stealth team - I used to run them as 5 man squads, were always game changes as they totally wrecked opponents game plans (can hurt most transports, and ventilate even termis with 15 shots at str 5). Greatest unit ever? No, not really, but well worth the points for a mobile unit with fair protection to let them get close, dump shots in, and jump away again.

On time, on target, or the next one's free

Black Templar lighting claw terminators with Furious charge.

On the charge, 4 swings each at S5 I5, reroll to-hits, and re-roll to-wounds. Mows through MEQ like no-body's business.

My Tau Commander and his Bodyguard. Them and 1 other XV8 took out a full 500pts in a 2v2 500pt per player game by turn 3. Oh and the 500pts were all from the same players and i didn't lose anyone all game only took a wound on the commander so h e has never failed me.

You have been an avid enough poster in this thread, that I think I am going to go through with a current idea (which you'll probably like.)

I have enough Last Chancer/infantry models painted in the same theme, to make a 500 point force. I picked up a 70 page notebook, to record all the 500 point games that I play with them, and on average it's 2-3 per week.

That said, I'm going to see how long of a streak I can keep the Colonel and Kage alive for (since the Colonel always survives!), as well as kills for him and the force overall.
Unfortunately, they can't be true Last Chancers, since 4e is gone and the WD Chancers are pretty terrible, but I will represent them with various Guard builds.

I'll post the first one this Tuesday, and will send you the link to it

Thank you Che-Vito, that is a very smart experiment. Actually, I am starting to reconsider my most succesful unit. Me and my friend reynen went to 2 battles yesterday, and my Librarian owned.

I think the price would go to my Bloodcrushers. They have wiped countless MEQ, TEQ and rearAV10 tanks, and their killcount just keeps on soaring.

Kairos Fateweaver, Oracle of Tzeentch.

My whole Daemons army revolves around him. He's the centerpiece, the master sorcerer, the toughest bubble wrap in 40k, and he's not too shabby in CC either.

His greatest exploit?

Breath of Chaos + Bolt of Tzeentch at Leman Russ Squadron...

BoC scores 1 glance... 6! Immobilized upgrades to wreck (because of squadron)

BoT hits side armor... penatrates... 6! Kaboom! 5" explosion.

7 nearby guardsmen go poof.... need leadership.. fail! Run off the board!

Single turn of shooting, he wipes out a LRBT squadron and a guard blob! Go go Fateweaver!

Probably my Vindicare Assassin.Only used him in one game but his shield breaker round removing the enemy Chapter Master's 3+invulnerable save,even though he manged a cover save(5+ too)led to my orbital bombardment instant deathing him,though his storm shield terminators all lived,meanig his unused bombardment couldnt blow up my only vehicle the Predator.His terminator's were a full 60 or so inches awy at turn 3,and no other gun or unit had the copacity to harm it.And before you ask we were using allies at 500pts.His termies,Master and 2 squads of hormagaunts VS my two 5 man tactical squads,captain,assassin and predator

Wraith





Raleigh, North Carolina

Back with the 4th ed Tyranid codex, there was always one squad of Genestealers that would be game changers for me, and most often when they were killed off down to one last Genestealer. That lone Genestealer often claimed the MVP title upon going forward to pop a tank or two with Rending or tie up/take down small groups of other infantry. Other people had a tough time hitting his WS6 and all he had to do was have more kills than the other guy to cause Leadership checks. They'd fail them and my lone Stealer would run them down with ease.

And now with the 5th edition book that same Genestealer hits a patch of dirt and somehow forgets to swing at I6 so he gets punched in the face.
