You are trying to teach me how to play and you said assaulting that would be a good idea??? Jerk!! " My friends were laughing.. All in all PK's ARE GOOD!!!!

Played against Tau with my CSM. A once 10 man strong CSM unit with an Icon, 2 meltas, and an Aspiring Champ w/ PF had been whittled down to just 2: the Champ and a model with a meltagun. Near the end of the game they were safely sitting on an objective until my opponent decided to move a squad of 5 fire warriors towards it to contest.

I shot, and missed. So I decided to charge and consolidate back onto the objective.

Needless to say, the Champ never got the chance to use his PF.

Drop Podded a Tac Squad RIGHT next to a purgation squad.....got shot to bits and assaulted.

But I won the assault.

He failed Morale.

He ran off the board.


I had 2 marines left.

Just goes to show that, just because it's a stupid move, doesn't mean it won't work

Doesn't answer the question. The thread is what your most stupid tactic was. I asked why you were doing that.

Maybe they were not paying attention or they thought it was a good idea at the time.

Don't underestimate the Close Combat prowess of Gun Drones. I've had them take out a whole squad of Khorne Berserkers in CC once. There's waaay more stories about Drones wrecking face in CC than there really should be, actually.
