But in all seriousness, we're getting a new codex soon, we have the coolest look, and are by far the most customizable army in the game. You can really make an ork warband your own, personal batch of boyz.

I really hope they sort out our rules though. Warbikers have probably the most inflated pricing ever, something has to be done about kans as well.

Don't hold your breath. Bikes have been intentionally gimped this edition points wise. The only ones that have any use are Scout Bikers because they are SUPER fast and disposable, and Shining Spears because they are Eldar of course it's Eldar every bloody time it's Eldar.

I collect custodes, they are not the best CC army, they have some of the strongest units, but they cost so much so I wouldn't say they are the best, up there though.

You can't go far wrong with ~15 jetbikes and a Guard battalion, though.

That's why I added the "we have a codex" comment. Sounds much better than a, "we're the weakest army in the game" comment.

I was agreeing with you.

Daemons? It is practically the only thing they can do, other than tricksy Tzeentch

Doesn't mean they are the best just because that's all they can do.

True, but they have some nasty cc units e.g. winged DP.

I would be inclined to agree with the chap who mentioned Harlies as well.

Khorne can do some horrific work in the right circumstances. Skulltaker with a Bloodletter bomb can mince up even the most elite infantry. As an army they are pretty relient on making charges from deep strike, though they do have some things to help make that a little more reliable.

It's a bit too one trick to be seriously competitive, but it shouldn't be underestimated.

Can the blood hounds make it accross the board for a t1 charge?

I don't think so no. I believe their maximum threat range is 22", and that's if they roll double 6 on the charge.

Not a daemons expert though, so might be missing a strat or something.

**Neophyte2012**

Daemons of Slaneesh can get across the board like a supersonic missile, they and the Khorne are very killy, but are too fragile (compare to Tzeentch and Nurgle) if they receive the punch back, even their Greater Daemons.

i'm working on a "We Don't Need No Shooting Phase" Tyranid list. Hive Fleet Kraken, Broodlords, and a bunch of Genestealers. A few Warriors to contest objectives.

Move 8", Advance (3d6 pick the highest) x2, and can still Charge.

I'll burn all my CPs during my Turn 1 Movement Phase, but Oh Well. I'll have Smite Spam from my Broodlords, and at least half my Genestealers should get into the Fight Phase on Turn 1.

Did a little noodleing around with Battle Scribe. My Stealer-Gasm army has two Battalions, 10 CPs, with four Broodlords and NINTY-SIX Genestealers in it. Six units of 16 each. At lease half of which will be in assault on turn one. Plus Warriors.

What do you do against flyers?

Shake my claws at them while I claim Objectives and they don't.

**Primark G**

Custodes are the best and let’s be honest you see them a lot in soup lists so it’s not like the army has any problems shooting.
