4000pt apoc tourny

Tbh, I don't see you having too much of a problem with the Daemon armies... well, atleast not the Khorne one. As long as you stay outta CC, just pummell them with your strong weapons. IMO, you should divide your forces, forcing him to split or focus on one of the divisions. Make one flank the 'sacrificial flank' that draws enemies away from the main one.

Meh, that's my idea, knicked from WD :p

This made me uber lol

"not have a problem with deamon armies" HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHA

Khorne army has WINGS. Hard to avoid. I am not Mech.

Oh yes, I did.

No, I have not seen the 999pt turkey of death. Link/post rules or w/e so I can lawlz at it.

Dont have link.... got a scan of the page on my comp but i am unlucky with pics on dakka.

Throwing this open has anyone on dakka seen the rules?
They are like *ZOMG IT CAN DO WHAT???????
It owned the 30man DC with jp and thunderhammers in 3turns
1 if it goes first
(btw 30 man dc unit above is worth just under 2000pts)

Going to change thread title again to attarct pepz who know about these rules.
Dark do you have an email i can send the scan of the page to?

Sure. You can have my non-gakky one. I.e. the one that doesn't randomly block loads of important stuff, especially forum information -.-

But I shall PM it to you, don't want the Dakka community to have my email (no offense guys, but would you?)

Fair enough.
wouldn't expect otherwise.
You will have to zoom in on the pic to read it though.

meep. There you go, check your inbox.

Sent email.
Expect it in the next 6-8 mins.
Then cry at the rules

Black Templar terminators would like to speak with you about that, sir...

Bah, I don't remember the last time I saw anyone break out that dusty old book, or even see it mentioned on any of the forums I frequent.

*cough*

Ahem.

Daemon armies? Apocalypse? Spam Inquisitors with Sanctuary. The end.

Thought about that.
But they can still be shot at.
Only makes los througth the unit impossible. Deamons still able to target the inquisitor with range attacks.
And believe me, the 999pt tzeeentch greater greater greater deamon has a fair few of those.

Like that mahussive 5 + D3 apocalypse barrages or whatever it was from his magic stick.

Although, it IS fun if it all goes wrong... hehehe.



WOOP.DEE.DOOP.

4+ chance to deflect any pyschic power that targets him.
Even aoe that scatters

Decided on regular dread with twinlinked las and underslung heavy flamer on the DCCW

Seeing as this is my thread...

Woop!! I broke the 700post mark!!!

(Bit late I know but i only just realised)

I know your talking apoc, but in ard boyz the middle of my field was almost solely 9 terminators with one San. Priest termy, and not counting my second battle (witch had an unreal number of longfangs in it) the unit never dropped below 6 guys.

Toss a few assault cannons in and watch the unit clear board space. On a hilarious side note they popped a death guard land raider turn one after all my melta and lascannon fire bounced off it. Go rending!

I realize you dont do BA, but maybe theres something you can do to make your own vanilla termies nearly impossible to kill in your own army so you can watch your opponent just dump their all their shots into them just to keep them all away. I'm pretty new to 5th ed and SM in general.

No, no there isn't.

Our termies are dead when they're dead.

2+/3++ TH/SS Vulcan termies in a raider is about as nasty as we get em

I have 5termies.
thats all.
Did I mention that there will be an apoc barrage of like D6 + 5. 4+ = a wound WITHOUT an armour save (invuns allowed) try that with 9 termies and a sang.preist
(eg no FNP so just 5++save)

TH/SS + Sanguinary Priest.

I dont have assault termies so i would give my example.

In your example you used a Sanguinary priest, which you do not have either

Anyways, I'll stop being annoying...for now... and let the discussion continue in some meaningful fashion... or something... eh... [/shutsup]

Yep seems like a good idea.

Anyway to mantain this threads vialbility I may reuse it and change the name. As it is the same list. I don't want to spam dakka with another thread exactly like this one but with different units.
Dark you've seen what i got so far.
Any ideas?
Oh and add in above dread with base drop pod.
And take away about..... 200pts for my 'secret attack unit'

Wait... so.. you want me to either post here (or preferably) PM you what I think of your list, and/or edit it (in workable ways) I think would be good? + add in dread and such?

???

^ should be an emoticon for that.

And when you say "above dread", what upgrades + weapons does that include, exactly? O.O

Wow. I actually made a fully on-topic post for once! Oh no, no wait..

('kay, 'kay, it wasn't that funny, I'll admit. But spammed emoticons are fun)

Ok posting errors over now.
Post additions (not changes preferably) in here.
Note that I may use your additions models/conversions willing.

I told you the dread in thee pm so you know that now

I didn't realize vanilla apothecaries were so weak compared to San. Priests but i should let you know that 2+/4+ is awesome.

Only one guy in our group has a titan so I haven't yet witnessed the "game balancing" effects of somebody covering my deployment zone with ap1 templates yet.

I know that 2+/4+++ is good... but anyways.

Try 2+/3++/4+++ in a LRC.

Vanilla apothacares are also free in command squads unlike sang. preists which apparently are elites.

I liked in the last ED Sm codex where you could upgrade a sgt to a apothecary. But back then it worked different.

How new to 40k are you?
I remember you said newish or something.

That's...that's worse than Space Marines!


That's...that's HERESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




That's right, you've been stamped.

Psst- Dark edit the post. Need to change the quote marks....
And its just a bad army to play as it requires very little thought.

But the worse thing for me is the paint scheme. Easy for a new painter to do but hardly anykind of way an expeiranced painter can do it better.
Admittadly The nipple guards can be used to show off nmm.

Already did it. It seems we had another "I updated my post while you were replying to it" scene.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NIPPLE ARMOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
