I'll get tired of them when in the next edition they will more likely be overpriced as their efficiency has been exploited. Just as plasma pistols from 3rd to 4th.

IG missile spam?

Why would an IG player spam missiles when he can spam tanks use the cheaper and more reliable autocannon to open op transports instead? Or spam manticores. Or spam artillery. Or spam hellhounds. Or spam flamer vets. Or... hell, ANYTHING other than missile launchers on BS3 models?

Yep. I've never seen IG spam missile launchers. There are so many other things for them to spam.

Perhaps I should get out more.

I use missle launchers because I have 3 AoBR boxes and they came with 3 missle launcher models... also I have 3 flamers for the same reason

Yes. Yes you are.

Minimum 21 models, maximum 61 models with basic Force Chart.

There are techniques that Horde players can learn to speed up their movement/running phases. Companies sell measuring tools, hell Ive made a couple for that very reason, so when I play a horde Ork force, Im not spending 20 minutes moving. I can move pretty quickly, and like Bat Manuel said, I can move my horde faster then some people move their SM forces. So yea

whippy sticks are pretty good for moving horde armies. cut em down to 5 inches and put in front of the base then move the 1 inch base to the end of the stick

That seems needlessly complicated. Why not just use a 6 inch length?

how so?

you use one hand to move the model one to move the stick, I can move a horde of 30 boys w/nob in under a minuete getting everybody thier full 6 inches and not having to estimate a thing

Because with a 5 inch stick you have to move front to back. With a 6 inch stick, you can go front to front. You can also use it for other measurements. The 5 inch thing is the needlessly complicated part.

That seems like a pretty effective technique. I just use the GF9 TAC template myself.

That thing is awesome. I bought one just for my foot guard army.

to each their own, I've treid both, and have a green tide army with 180 boys at 1850 for my use 5 inch whippy in left hand touch model, and but up the base to the end worked better. but to each thier own
