Hi Dakka!

I'm going to be participating in a club tournament tomorrow (second one ever - have only being playing for a year - I'll be playing a meched up GK henchman list). I know one of the guys who will be there will be playing his blood angels. Typically he brings a lot of fast vehicles - usually two vindies, some razorbacks, a stormraven laden with death company and a furiouso dread and Mephiston Lord of Cheese. Typically he just rushes you first turn up to 12" and take his 24" shots which can be devastating.

Short of hiding behind LOS blocking terrain and reserving what else should I consider? Especially where the vindies are concerned.

Give tremorstaves + writhing worldscape a try. 1/6 of his vehicles will immobilize themselves if they try to move, and the demeched troops will be slowed down as well.

Thanks for the suggestions however I'm shelving my Necrons for this tournament and running my grey knight henchmen list.

Do GK have access to TL Lascannon Razorbacks? Because those will shut down BA mech very nicely from a distance. And if you're playing GK, you shouldn't have any trouble killing Meph -no invulnerable save means your can just chop him up with halberds.

Right now I'm running 4 standard razors but I do have 5 monkeys with lascannons. Kinda like triple linked but only one target at a time :( Mephiston will die to a massed barrage of 8 mindstrike missiles from my two storm ravens. Actually he's tough even with all of GK's toys. You really need to assault him and not the other way around. I've also got 3 psyrifle dreads. Not perfect against av13 but I might be able to get some side armor shots if I spread out a little.

Yeah, with all the rending, I doubt you'll have too many problems.

I honestly laughed audibly when I read this comment, especially coming from a Grey Knight player.

Best wishes in your tournament and the potential BA matchup. Let us know how it went.

That title seems to fit somehow though lol.

You may be right indeed. If he is not the Lord of Cheese, he must be one of the senior Lieutenants.

Nevertheless, you will not get an argument against its use from me.

In fact, I am going to use the title for my Mephiston whenever I get the chance.
