Fast Attack

2x Baal Predator with TL AC and HBs.


LR pushes up with DC and lib, who confers a 5+ save to the LR as well as the two baals behind them. All can move at 12" and still fire weapons. Sterns drop turn1 to pop a tank if there is one to get first blood, and kill a threat to my LR/Baal push, (LR may snipe something here with it's TL-LC). Turn 2 ASM drop (usually at least 2/3 if not all due to rerolls). Procede to push with LR and Baals, potentially tying up an important enemy unit with my DC.

Drop power lances. Get axes. Give all ICs and sergeants power axes and deny all challenges. It works pretty well. As well as anything works for Codex: Trap Units.

why drop the lance for an axe? THey will just challange every time. WS5 Str 6 on the charge AP3 will kill most units before they can strike if they have anything more powerful, and my sarge can usually take the challange.

Here's how you make it work. Have your one main ASM squad. Put in the libby, sarge and SP with all axes. Deny all challenges. You still get to swing with two axes and their big bad IC gets to beat up FNP schmucko BA ASM.

BA ICs suck at challenges, so just pretend that your best IC in each squad can never fight. Then plan your lists. That's why I use homogeneous ICs as much as possible, ie only libbies and SPs.
