Only a couple of newb mistakes made me lose against a necron force (I forgot Troop Carriers contest but can't claim objectives and Vortex of Doom is LoS. One caused the other (I rushed my Empty Rhino over to pick up a squad and blocked my Epistolary from casting a VoD on a unit of warriors that contested an objective and took away the draw. Oh well). Plus the Epistolary had to move towards the enemy because the Necrons stopped moving and I couldnt' get the range making him useless for 3 turns.


Still, any advice for making it better would be appreciated.

Edit: Forgot bike squad..

Is the Predator making its points back? Or is it drawing a lot of fire? I'm very curious as to how well thats working.

What does the Attack Bike have? And why no special weapon in the other Tactical squad? A melta gun would be pretty useful.

I would consider going all ML for the Devvie squad, as it helps make it more multi-task i.e. the HB isn't going to do piddly against AV 12, while krak at least has a chance. And frag missiles work pretty well.

The Pred has wiped out a bike squad in one battle, but hasn't gone up against too many vehicles (so has been popping infantry in the two battles so far (I need to get some alternate weapons from somewhere).

The bike has a multimelta. I see what you mean about the ML though and both tac squads have special weaps, one has flamer/ml one has ml/melta. Sorry that wasn't clear.

It's fine. I'm thinking the Autocannon/HB Pred would be better, especially for how you've been using it. 8 shots for 85 points and AV 13 is a great deal.

I agree, got to get a weapons sprue from somewhere.
