Glory Hogs! is actually less of a hindrance than you'd think. Well, as long as it isn't an army with, like, 1 Landraider, that the opponent stuck in a back corner just to mess with you. But in that case, just take that out, and you're golden.

You're going to want to assault or shoot at vehicles anyways, usually.

And dont forget the tankbustas have to be able to SEE the vehicle. So if they have 1 LR sitting in the back (why a SM player would do that I dunno) if its blocked by LOS blocking terrain, no worries, pump rokkit vollies into something

Yeah, i am aware of this

Its just, my opponent can move one chimera into the units LOS and then Bam! i cant assault anything else except another vehicle (Assuming there are any others left after my lootas/kans have had a go at them.

Then you move a trukk/bw to block LOS to the chimera and shoot whatever you like. That, or you turn the chimera into a smoldering wreck. Why would you want to charge tank bustaz at anything other than vehicles anyways? They are nothing but slightly better shoota boyz in CC, at almost three times the costs.

Agreed, thats why I laugh when I see people on here suggest "yanno, tankbustas shoot rokkits, and ROKKITS kill SM!!!!" uh yea they do....but uh so do boyz mobs at a much better price


But yea, block the LOS with something and your good to go, Or stick them in a vehicle and get them there faster, which is probably what you should do to begin with
