The Pathfinders kills .66 models if all ten are charged. That does allow you to remove the Special weapon, but not a big threat.

On Dakka he was Eldanar. In our area, he was Lee. R.I.P., Lee Guthrie.

If i get to assault first then i would hit you with 10 assault terms with LC and a librarian in term armor and null zone iget to reroll fail to wounds and you reroll secsesful saves. Or ten terms with th ss and a chaplain to reroll failed hits

To many unpainted models to count.

Hm... 10 Jokaero with their twin linked flamer fingers, joined by some stupid character so that I'm minus 1 toughness because of rad grenades...

Ok, no it's not as bad as a full flamer squad. Nothing is. Well, its not a good idea to assault 10 paladins either, but hey.

Worst unit in the game to assault is a standard Guard infantry squad with Fire Shield. It just wouldn't be worth it.

and in a battle wagon. You can overwatch snap fire from an open topped vehicle.
Most likely result is that you wreck the vehicle, burna boys get out and then flamer you again before charging you. Nasty

I got beat by the 15 burna boys in the trukk and the 10 dual flamer Jokaero (I had to look them up, they are apes!)

jifel and Exergy both win a hug.

Saying that the hammer and sheild terminators would not be nice but I like swinging first. Don't often get that chance with Necrons.

I am trying my immortal idea tonight. They can weather concentrated shooting well with big z's orb . Hide the Teks at the back and LoS if they take a hit and put them on Big Z for the 2+ armour save. Can't wait.

I like to imagine the Emperor kills so many Orks that he ends up half buried beneath a pile of corpses, with only his head sticking out. A lone grot stumbles across him, and starts choking him.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

Except you can only give 1 heavy flamer to a CCS (unless I'm missing something)...

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

Your right, its been a while since I took a look at Guard xD

1 heavy flamer and 3 normal flamers, if you survive enough to assault, Straken will screw you up.
