Now if your talking about current rules. My IG are nuts. 3 Hydras for 225 points. All those twin linked Autocannons at strength 7 forget it.

I alos like running a Medusa battery of 3 as well. Give them the armor penetration round. Good-bye enemy armor at strength 10.

No current rules. I just mean, whats ur unit that owns most.

Haven't played 40k for a bit but my last game my 30 strong boyz mob with nob and PK, cyborked and led by Grotsnik killed 2 5 man assault squads, assault terminator squad led by He'stan and their land raider transport as well as half a tactical terminator squad in the last turn of the game and still had about a dozen boyz left over at the end of the game.

LOL vortex grenades were so much cheese. However when they started moving randomly on the table, I loved the look you would get on people's faces when it came close. I've seen the template move through tanks lines and just eat up 3 tanks in one turn. So glad they are out of the game now to be honest.

Yep, crom! Oh, hargus56, thats cool, are they good?

It's good but the "One Scalpal Short Rule" can screw them up and is kind of costly at 525 pts. To counter this I use 3 scouting TL Rokkit/Buzzsaw deffkoptas to tie up the opponent at their home base, kommandos work well too, lootas to take down any kiting threats to them. I also have an idea to utilize a warphead in a mob of shoota boyz to deepstrike and corner anything that would kite them or zzzap land raiders that might kite them. But yeah T4, 5+ invulnerable save and feel no pain and top it off with 31 models total is just nuts.

Nice!

I had a 5 man BT Assault Terminator squad with Emperor's Champion triple its points vs IG/White Scars in a team game.

3 Thunderfire cannons 12 small blasts that can do a whole lot of damage then give you a free techmarine with servo harness once killed. I got an opponent who played orks to raeg quit 4th turn after getting tired of having to spread out all of his models or have his entire horde get killed in a few shots. Another game all 3 were killed just for the techmarines to run up and repair my dreadnoughts and kill even more things. At 100 points a pop they're definitely worth it.

Do you have to rage quite when you play mech lists?

My broadsides, they reap tanks dayly.

Logan with Rockfist and 4 Wolfguard termies with SS and Wolfs claws has basically won me every game against my 5 friends(+ plus a dedicated Redeemer for them got to ride in style).

My Shas'O Commander ShortJaw does short work of GEQ's and other gribbly CC units with low saves in close combat

Also back in the day of Nidzilla my Plaguemarines shot some holes in quite a few 'zilla lists before they, and the rest of the army, get miserably eviscerated by anything that touched them.

10 sternguard. no combi weapons. just 2+ poison rounds

I LOVE rapid firing big targets. oh whats that? 3+ save? T6? k take 12-15 saves.

Even rapid firing troops is a lot of fun. just mow them down!

You can only have 2 devourers. You have 2 sets of scything talons and you can replace a set with a twin-linked devourer. You can only have 2.

That's why you have meltabombs or powerfists. If you depend on 3 units in your army, especially fragile ones, you're going to run into trouble.

Yup it's 2 sets of twin linked devourers with brainleech worms
I loved the old nid codex, you could take them with 2 barbed stranglers, 2 S8 Large Blasts? Yes please but thats when nidzilla ruled supreme

My most successful unit is more or less the unit leader, a simple warlock who leads my guardians. Maybe she's just been in the right place at the right time but she always seems to acheive some ridiculous feat, some of the more memorable moments:
1) Firing at a nurgle greater daemon, bring it to 1 wound, thinking to myself either i charge or he does, charge the daemon, lose 2 guardians, witchblade always wounding on a 2 3 wounds. fails and dies
2) Same deal as above... but with the nightbringer

On top of that she's wrecked plenty of tanks totally worth the 25 points

My archon with the soul trap and huskblade combo, also with his little haywire nades and 5 incubi, chillen in his pimped raider, they just destroy whatever they touch, it's quite hilarious Then I have my flying nun of doom, and my exorcists...wow, women a re scary when they get angry They blow up whatever they want

Brother-Captain Miltiades, Venerable Dreadnought. Has shot down a ton of Raiders and Ravagers, blown open Dreadnoughts and Kans, and slaughtered Crisis Suits and Nobz aplenty, and has never fallen in battle. A Purgator's skill never fades.

I'd definitely have to say my Fire Prism with Spirit Stones and Holofields, but only once it's turret gets blown off first turn, and it always does. Then I just zoom it around the table ramming stuff, I've immobilized a Land Raider like that and killed plenty of Rhinos and Dreadnoughts.

Hive Tyrant with Paroxysm lash whip and bonesword with tyrant guards with bone swords. excellent at hero killing XD

My Death Company dreadnought with Blood Talons only cause I play hordes mostly. None Shall Stay My Wrath is amazing and with the Talons and amazing roles I wiped a 30 man squad of boyz from the board before they attacked back, twice.

My Canoness. Even when she can't hit in combat (WS4 S3 yay...) at all she'll tie up that unit for 3-4 turns.

Though when it's going well, seems to have awesome shots with a plasma pistol.

I Just had a game the last week where Fuegan was once again the hero of my match. First he shoots down a storm raven. Then Charges and kills Dante in one turn, (he did have two wounds already, but still) then the next turn kills a Furioso dreadnaught. The game before that he wiped out an entire squad of THSS terminators. Another game a necron lord and a squad of warriors.
In his fluff he will be there at the end of days and shall be the last to fall!

My most sucessful unit, that should be worth 200 points for what it does is none other than.....pause for effect....my Big Mek

My Ctan

Marine Player: Huurrr.. My Lightning claw and TH/SS termie squad will rip that poncy MC ghost apart! what's his toughness?

Me: 8

Marine Player: So I hurt it on a 6 then?

Me: Nope. You don't hurt it at all with the claws. The Hammers might give it trouble.

Marine Player: Mutter Mutter. Ok then.. you hit me!

Me: Ok- S 10, a bunch of attacks... blip. 5 wounds.

Marine Player: I'll put them on my TH/SS termies to use that sweet 3+ inv.

Me: Yeah, about that...


Experienced players generally are wise to this, but my first use of Nightbringer was against the previous tournament's grand champion, who had never fought Necrons before

Fond memories..

Leman Russ Executioner. It has a white scythe painted on each side; take a guess why.

Also, in all my games, I think I only lost it once. (about 100 now)

I haven't been playing for long, but my standard Land Raider. It took out a rhino and several dreads in one match.

Oh. The book says
"Replace any set of Scything talons for:
twin-linked deathspitter............15 points
twin-linked devourers...............15 points"

So wouldn't it be 2 twin linked devourers for each set?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I even learned what a Dakkafex is on DakkaDakka. I had a topic about it and someone said you could get 12 S6 shots.

Well a set is two, and your thusly replacing two with one twin-linked deathspitter or devourer.

Also, refrain from posting points costs.
