On the weekend there was a Tournament and I had a tactic that worked very well.

Deployed devastor (not in rhino) and tactical marines (<<in rhino) and dreadnought as distraction

Caption shrike with assault squad infiltrating with scout land speeder storm and scout snipers for back up. (two scout squads)

first turn

Deep strike droppod (locator bracken) with tactical squad
move assault squad up and assault (fleet yay)
rhino moves to obj on my side. (made sure there was one)

second >>>>> last

termatours (shooting) as distraction and second droppod with second tactical

Standard Shrike alpha strike list. It's second rate at best and easily countered by a mech'ed army and careful deployment.

Did you have an actual question?

So your whole army serves as a distraction for an Assault Squad and a unit of scouts?

There's so many things that out assault a vanille SM assault squad it's silly.

If I'm undrstanding this right it sounds like a fun list, but.honestly dude I am having a hard time comprehending what your trying to say. The way you structured this post is a little hard to understand.

sorry i only had like 5 min to write this.

No you didn't, you've got all the time in the world. You chose to write it up when you only had 5 minutes, and instead of leaving it and coming back to it (it wasn't going anywhere ) you decided "eh buggrit"

Now I'm going to echo the "oh no im being assaulted by assault marines and scouts what shall I do" cry.

If your looking for assaulting space marines (if thats your question) then go with wolves or blood angels

Nothing says "welcome new user" like micturating all over his thread.



To those who kept their comments constructive.

Use Shrike to place the dev. squad when the enemy refuses to deploy.
Also Telion is a legend.
Vanguard or maybe assault termies maybe better to run wirh shrike as they are more killy.
Cato can bring two 5 man squads that can infiltrate, this goes with the theme.
Else a librarian with gate goes well with the alpha strike.
Also scout bikers can charge first turn but can not get fleet.
Break off shrike separately sometimes, first turn as he charge another unit whilst the assault squad chews through another one.

Is a collection of things that you may not have thought about.
