So 'Ard Boyz really seems to be coming down to horde vs mech. On one side you have nids and orks and the other you have mech eldar and land raider spam.
Did anybody do well with basic transport spam??? Like tons of chimeras, or Rhinos? I would imagine killing 15 or so regular tanks woudl be near impossible in the time a lotted at 'Ard boyz.
I only ask because mech guard won adepeticon a couple times in 4th and the rules were basically all alpha. I just see a lot of parallels from then to now.
On one side you have nids and orks and the other you have mech eldar and land raider spam.
take that back! orks can go mech too, and are pretty much the only mech formation with a vehicle that carries 12 men and a huge kannon!
you have trukks too, looted wagons (even squiggoths)
oh, and you can make a decent battlewagon and still be much cheaper than a land raider
Suffused with the dying memories of Sanguinus, the warriors of the Death Company seek only one thing: death in battle fighting against the enemies of the Emperor.
I ran SOBs as the parent list last time, but found exocists under effective. The AP 1 is great but the S8 is brutal when hunting AV 14 vehicles, so I think you have to get up and personal with meltas now.
That said, there were a ton of interesting tacitcs I could pull. For one, I basically had the choice of first turn every single game with the inquisitor wargear, which allowed me to push armies back. It also means you can do cool things with spot lights, chimeras and leman russes.
Finally, the book of St lucius makes Guard rediculously uesful, and units like conscripts become a awesome sit on objectives unit.
