Mah, boyz! Seriously, can't think of anything that I haven't killed with boyz.

Honourable mention go's to Snikrot and his Kommandos and my burna boyz + mek.

Ah, how many boyz do you have?

90 Though I don't always field them all, trukk boyzs are the shizz.

10 man assault squad

Ah, I have some (non made) orks, and was thinking about making some boyz, so whats the best formation for them?

Definatly Abaddon, he tends to do pretty well in every game, some times his damage output is limited if his Land Raider is immobilised/destroyed first turn, but on the whole he's been pretty solid.

except when he and his squad of termies are held up by a squad of veterans who REFUSE to fail morale!!! i love my guardsman and how they pwned abaddon this 1 game, that was a rarity though...

Ah, who scored the killing shot?

LRBT after he killed them and was out in the open...but they got most of the termies dead!

Ya, but at least you killed him!

that is usually not the issue, its just how many he kills before i kill him, lol

my friend always fields that dude, and i dislike abaddon, because hes sick...

Really? How?

How is abaddon sick? he is eternal warrior, T7(IIRC), his lightning claw thing is good(if he doesnt kill himself), has 5 wounds, has great WS and BS. Unfortunately, he is alot of points.

If you are asking how I kill him: my friend always puts him with terminator squad and teleports them in with a personal icon. He tries to rush a rhino across the board and teleport them in right to my lines. So I just aim all my HK missiles at the rhino and immobilize/kill it usually. Then shoot everything of his up because he isnt very mobile. and has 500 pts off the table for alot of the game, so once he brings em in if he gets to my line, i sacrifice 1 unit to get into combat with em, while the rest of my forces pull away and get ready to unload on whatever comes out alive. works pretty well.

Oddly enough, my pathfinders. Five of them can dictate the flow of a battle FAR more than most of my opponents would like to admit.

MC's and Termies die in droves, and ANYTHING with a flamer runs straight for the annoying little buggers.

Their actual performance is highly erratic, but they have made more opponents of mine make the "WTF just happened to my glorious battle plan" face than any other unit.

Is it odd I just read that in your avatar's voice?

It's a toss up, typically if you're on foot go shoota if in a wagon or trukk go slugga, but open top wagon with 20 shootas can put out a ton of dakka. Whatever you end up doing always, always, always nob, power klaw and boss pole. Typical formation is 20-30, nob, PK, BP and possibly some Big Shootas and Rokkits, BS are the more popular but the Rokkits do allow a slim chance for that rhino pop. You can easily field a green tide army full of them like 5-6 groups of 20-30 with some KFF support it's a solid and fun approach just sucks in the movement phase.

Honor guard dude lol. they have a +2 save.

Not at all. My Avatar and myself (due in large part to Aspergers Disorder) have similarly stilted verbal patterning. This patterning also tends to come across in my typing. That similarity of phrasing is part of the reason I chose that avatar.

Much like a picture of Prof. Farnsworth with the caption "good news everyone..." the combination of a visual cue with familiar phrasing causes an auditory interpretation anomaly.


Short version? I planned it that way. If I were female it would have been the Dawn of War Farseer.

Old boy Curbstomp. You see, at the end of all my battles, I take each of my surviving models and carve a little notch in their base, to show who my veterans are. And Old boy Curbstomp has survived far more battles than my warboss, or anyone else for that matter. He also held up a warwalker by himself for a couple rounds until anouther bunch of boyz piled in and saved him.

The Eldar Avatar I take him at 500pt. my opponents aim everything at him and he dosen't die.

That's a really cool idea!

Force weapons can take out the avatar, he is considered a Daemon of the warp.

Ctan laugh at him (until they get unlucky )

I'm pretty sure he is T5 with 4 wounds.

My Eldar's Warp Spiders always seem to do pretty well, never amazing, but consistently dependable.

a squad of greyknight terminators and a grandmaster from the old daemon hunters codex

Pathfinders. If left alone, I can light up targets and destroy them. If attacked, they aren't focusing on my guns.

My lowly Salamanders chaplain killed far too many things in his day. Tooled up 3.5ed daemon prince? Meet Mr Crozius.

Say hello to my leetle friend...


I'd have to say that Wraith-bert the unkillable wraith also earns a rank here. He has never died in any game i've run him in. He always either makes his save or makes his WBB.

He's my Destroyer-Lord's secrity blankie

The humble Power Klaw Nob and his ablative wounds.

In my recent games where I have taken my Sons Of Byss(CSM) out of retiremnt, it is the Khornate Terminators with Chaos lord who has done the most damage. A 10 man squad gear up for CC and Lord with daemon weapon of Khorne = win
