Sons gift list:

2 sorcerers/princes with mot and gift

6 squads of thousand sons with gift sorcerer

loads of spawns (essential and free)

something as filler (greater deamons, oblis)

Basically this list spams power called gift of chaos which allows you to replace any enemy model (expcept vehicles) within 6" with a spawn model (otherwise target becomes blob of flesh which means model is just removed), no saves allowed. Only problem is that you have to roll above targets toughness with 6 always being succesfull.

Crazy part is that you use this power twise a turn at beginning so you can potentially ditch out 16 gifts per turn and it doesn't matter if you are locked in cc or shooting another target.

I once proxyed this list with 2 greater deamons and at the end of the game opponent had only scouts, 2 rhinos and immobalized dred left rest of his were either dead or spawned. There were like 20 spawns running around.

When did 30" become short ranged?

Oh for OTT...sometimes I bring two mantas, with every single lower space filled with broadsides and the top with kroot for one, and the other with the full maximum 188 FW compliment.

My thoughts too..

It is when they are heavy 1 and usually get targeted first then get destroyed or run away after first turn. Or just miss from bad BS. 36" isn't a lot when anything is charging your face off.

Well that's why you keep pathfinders in the back...also, most tables are like 48", so you can hit the good majority of models on the board.

I do keep them at the back. But when your oppenent has a full squad of lootas or two and luck on his side.......or boyz in wagons with a big shoota. Usually play on 6x4 table.

3 Vindicators are fun...
3 Deathstrike launchers are also fun...

For lol's I sometimes run Abaddon, Typhus and 3 MoN Terminators in a Land Raider.

It never ends well, but it can be great fun

I normally find that the big expensive units aren't worth it. all your opponent has to do is avoid one squad and you're in big trouble.

That's why you have your warfish to defend you!

7 BS5 ignore cover Str5 Ap5 shots works well as a deterrent! Plus the seeker missiles don't hurt.

Skulltaker on Jugg
3 Heralds of Khorne on Juggs, each with unholy strength, BoTBG, Fury of Khorne and Death Strike.

All attatched onto a 9 Strong Bloodcrusher squad with fury of khorne.

I find it tends to kill whatever the hell I throw it at
Noteable triumphs include destroying 4 warhounds, 2 reavers and crushing a green tide!
