Most of the thread is pretty good.

But a perfect example of talking not with each other, but at the alcohol induced hallucination right next to that person.

Fetterkey has yet to write sensible paragraph long answer to anything, define some still undefined main points.

Believes armies stay embarked all the game. Woohoo. Please do that!!! Nothing gives my AT firepower as good firing lanes as not a single infantry model on the board by turn 4. Oh and oops CSM termicides happen to be the worst unit in the game apparently, as they can only mech up for 220 points.


Someone come up with an answer to Dual Lash sucks, because there not another 1750 points to deal with the enemy. Im basing off 2k army list with 2 lash sorcs, which is something i sometimes take. Played it once, wiped the table because 1750 points of CSM troops+Havoks rock face. Played Ahriman+Lash sorc, rocks face because 1625 points of CSM Troops rock face.


Yes Lash sucks, if you forget to pack the rest of your army into the case.


Fetterkey still hasnt told us if he actually plays 40k. I play virtually any major tabletop out there. On paper......since i own the rulebooks, and in his little mind (failure to induce the meaning of dittohead) believes that mathhammer and theorymachine (cookie if he can guess the game) actually are half as good actualy balls to the walls (2nd hint still the same game) gaming at the store.


Yay Chinaeven if only visiting.

Several armies can, in fact, stay embarked all game, or at the very least have no non-suicidal reason to disembark their units. Full mech is not required, though it works better for some forces-- others can do fine without it. Tau, for example, generally don't go full mech, and would be weaker if they did. In general, anti-tank units will be able to have good firing lanes anyway if correctly deployed, especially in 5th edition with true line of sight. The advantages that mechanizing your units provides (ignoring/negating most enemy anti-infantry firepower, greatly increasing mobility) are generally superior to the disadvantages that doing so incurs (points/KP increase).

Termicide units are an interesting trick that can prove effective against some forces, but are far from a reliable choice. Positional defenses aside, they can be hard countered for <50 points and are not exactly a safe bet even under favorable circumstances. They aren't bad, but they aren't great.
