So, i'm doing a campaign with 5 other players and so far I've played 2 games, and i'm 2 - 0 - 0.

I played against necrons w/ Grey Knight allies and then I played against Tau with Eldar allies. I know that I am playing at least 1 other player with Tau/Eldar allies and Eldar/Tau allies. I think the last guy is also Eldar/Tau.

I revised a list yesterday counting on my opponent spending a lot of points for interceptor and skyfire, and I was right and I got about 100 points out of not bringing any heldrakes, making his skyfire upgrades pretty much useless.

The clincher for me was getting D3 units infiltrate, and also rolling for a USR and getting infiltrate on another, I outflanked 2 Rhino's with dirge casters into his tau gun lines, negating their overwatch as I charged into them, tying up most of his shooting units and only really leaving them AV 13 vehicles to shoot at if they weren't tied up.


I decided to throw together another list tonight, and here's what I came up with. The beasts escort the lord/Sorc, who lucked out last game and got endurance, which gives my beasts at least a 5+ FNP roll. The main goal of the squad is to get the lord into CC. Once he's there he's pretty much a beast. The unit draws a LOT of fire, and gives me a chance to move my rhinos with Plague marines into position. The predators are pretty good anti vehicle, and so are the heldrakes assuming they don't get shot down instantly. ((playing against a lot of tau, that's always a possibility.))

Heldrakes cover anti-flyer as well, though nothing else can really deal with them effectively, save MAYBE the forgefiend if I fire as snapshots.


Any input is welcome, i'm sure I overlooked something in my list.
