I've been a member for a while but I've never really posted anything so here's my into thread, hopefully the beginning of a beautiful friendship

I'm from the UK, play Dark Angels and occasionally some Eldar and Tau. Currently trying for a good all round list but need some suggestions on how to kill turbo-boosting nurgle bikes!

Welcome!

Always nice to see someone else Norfolk based.

Welcome to Dakka Dakka!

As for turbo-boosting bikes...

Good luck!

Lots and lots of shots, but then, you're not shooting other stuff that probably needs shooting too!

Ha, my problem exactly! I figure I'll ignore them for the turn they turbo boost and then pick them off in later turns before they get near my tanks.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Hi welcome.
Turbo-boosting bikes....try a nuke

Welcome to dak dak¡ Try turbo boosting bikes of your own.

Welcome to DakkA and good luck with those bikes.

Welcome to dakka mate.

For the bikes you could try a Flux capacitor.

All hail from across the pond..... Canada that is!
Welcome to Daki Dak!

Oi! You makin fun o me Skarshak!

Flux capacitor eh? *rummage rummage* ... nope, hven't got one of those at the moment lol.

Hey
Welcome to Dakka!
Use power fists, they will wound on 2's and save you wasting that many shots, and they dont get cover saves.

No cover saves eh? Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to dakka.

Hello and welcome to Dakka!

Thanks guys, it seems like a friendly forum already!

Welcome Matt!

Hello and welcome.

Hi Matt, welcome to Dakka!

Can't help you with the Nurgle bikes sorry, I'm more of a 'looker' than a 'thinker'
...as in I normally stare disbelievingly at the board as my army is torn apart!

I'm interested in any Dark Angels player, how're your guys rolling?
Death/Raven/Mixed Wing, or just a nice all-rounder?
I've been working on my Fortress of Redemption lately and am feeling the itch to get some of the First Legion to man it's walls, they're just not an easy force to use at the moment, at least from my perspective of going from the Space Marines Codex, I'm always interested to see how people beat face with them.



p.s. Great website by the way

All rounder at the moment but without any bikes, no room in my 1600 point list for them at the moment, other things have been far more effective. I am strongly thinking about an attack squadron/deathwing in a land raider that I can quickly swap out to change my list up depending on who I'm playing whilst still keeping the core of my force the same.

"I am strongly thinking about an attack squadron[...]"

As in Ravenwing attack squadron?
I'd highly recommend the Ravenwing Battleforce box, fantastic value for money, as long as you don't mind wrestling with the old-cut Land Speeder.
Leaves you with a ton of bitz/icons/swords/assault cannons/etc. and far cheaper than buying the bikes in their normal boxes.
As I said, I don't run DA myself, but was offered the opportunity to scavenge "anything useful" from an opponents, needless to say I was spoilt for choice!

Welcome!
