There are certain things that only work well if you spam it, what things need to be spamed and why?

**Claypool**

I would have to say Flash Gitz because they are a great unit.

No, but seriously, Boyz, spam Boyz ftw.

**Tony the guardsman**

Spam vehicles!
And don't spam in dakka like I do...

**starbomber109**

One vindicator is not a worry, stay out of it's range and weapon destroy/immobilize it, then you don't have to deal with it.

Two vindicators is dangerous, if you stop one, there's still another awesome-tank rolling around. The two tanks can also back each-other up and cover more area with the demolisher cannon's range

Three is a significant threat, which your opponent will sink bullets into.

There are other units like this, but the general rule is, one isn't a problem, two is dangerous, three is a threat.

**Tony the guardsman**

One,two three rule,what about 3,6,9 rule for the IG?!

**starbomber109**

or the 2, 4, oh hell LOTS rule for meltaguns.

Squadron is often not useful. For example, if 3 vendettas were put in 1 unit...most of the times the firepower would be wasted.

**Iron_Chaos_Brute**

CSM Land Raiders.
Lash.
Ork Boyz.
Lootas*
Vendettas.
HWTs.
Chimeras.
Razorbacks.
Long Fangs.
Drop Pods (if thou art so brave).*

*exceptions apply.

**Hoodwink**

Tervigons... Lots and lots of Tervigons...

**SagesStone**

Spam models lots and lots of models, they work great in any army

But redundancy is a good idea for any army, if you have one good thing why not have one or two backups.

**tokugawa**

Lash?

When did 2 could be called a "spam"?

**wuestenfux**

Eldar: spam Serpents
Marines: spam Rhinos, Razorbacks, or Drop Pods.
Chaos: spam Daemons or Plague Marines.
Necrons: spam Monoliths, Warriors, or Destroyers.

**H3ct0r**

Tau: Railguns or Fusion Blasters, Kroot and Battlesuits
Dark Eldar: Dark Lances, Raiders, Warriors (with lances)

**Relic_OMO**

You shouldn't need to spam anything. Armies with diverse options are better and more capable of dealing with any opponent than cookie cutter spam armies. The only downsides are that they are harder to play and require more thought.

Like in real life, just because something is good, does not automatically make three of that something three times as good.

**General_Chaos**

Dreadnoughts! MoF for the win

**HoverBoy**

Yea a burger is good but three would just make you sick

The situation is different in 40k, one unit is okay but three would make it much better.

Why spam serpents?

In all aspects in life,I like to have a theme,not just a pot of aspect warriors,or bunch of wierd stuff

**wuestenfux**

A mech Eldar army with all units mounted in Serpents is tough to beat.
The enemy needs a bunch of at least S6 weapons to target them.

**QuietOrkmi**

Spam Battlewagons [Orks] I hear if you get within 13" of one they inflict 1d6 S10 attacks that auto hit... 2d6 if you are a dumb walker who wants to die... (then again 1d6 against armor 12-13 is not that much different than 2d6 against armor 10... either way, unless poor rolling the waker is doomed...)

Chimeras and Lemon Russes. Yay for forcing target priorities!

Nothing like 9 Demolisher cannons to make the bad men go away.

nothing like the pothole of doom to make ur 150+ pts model go away too.

**Tony the guardsman**

Is there still target priority in 5th addition?

**Redwunz**

Lasguns! Spam the s*** out of lasguns! Even marines should have lasguns. And Tau and Khorne Berzerkers and-

oh, wait...

**HoverBoy**

Laugh now but my lasguns FRFSRF-ed 3 termies in a single turn once.

**Gavo**

Tony the guardsman wrote:Is there still target priority in 5th addition?

As in the rule? No. I meant opponents having to think about what they're using their shots for.

**freddieyu1**

I usually do not repeat any single FOC slot choice more than twice, since I like variety in my lists....except dedicated transports of course (chimera for the IG, serpents for my eldar).......

Weapon loadout is a different matter....so far meltas, flamers, grenade launchers, and autocannons (and lasguns! how the hell can I forget lasguns) are the usual weapons my infantrymen carry, with a smattering of the occasional plasma gun, bolt and plasma pistol sometimes....

**wuestenfux**

Killa Kanz spam!
