Yes but if your opponent was fielding a proper artillery company you'd be facing 8-9 of them. Then we'd see how manly your manly men are boyo.

guess they're not that broken after all.

"Into cover!" Infiltrating meltas... "HOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Wow, the Griffon looks beautiful as it cartwheels in the air. The armor plate catches the sun's ray's just right, adding a nice purple hue to the flaming wreckage don't you think?"

yeah but my manly feerless unit are immune to its so it does not make a difference if they field 100 griffons.  however the rest of my marines would be another thing altogether, they would fall back as they aint as manly as my insane DC.

Um no.. You're immune to the "fear" portion, but you're not immune to the joyous effect of 9 ordnance templates. Love is in the air!!!

and what does each template actually do?? S4 or S5 flames, ??? is that it??

I believe it's S6, actually...that wounds even FEERLESS boys on a 2+. Only AP4 though.

What you really need are 3 Basilisks and 6 Griffons to cover their min range. Oh, and a LOT more than 25% terrain, all of it size 3 area or taller than the basi gun shield...

yeah so my DC roll an armour save 3+ and a few fail? no probles let the feel no pain kick in on a 4+. the manliest feerless troops you will ever get bar the khorne beserkers with FNP and Blood rage.

So you've not faced and artie' company then? Ah the joys of youth.

As noted Str 6 / AP4
the Basi's are Str 9 AP3
mayhaps a nice Leman or two with plasma for those hard to reach terminator stains.
All with tank ace (re-roll direction dice on the ordnance and equivalent to sharphooters)

Your BA's may win (especially if you use drop pod), but it will be an eye opener.

yeah how many could you get in a 1500pts game?? remember if you spread the med out properly how many marines are you hitting per template?? 2 -3 at the most. i ahve played games against companies like that and eventually my marines have made it to the other side and power fisted or melta bombed the tanks.

Yes that is their weakness and why they are not nearly as strong as players think. There's always some errant punk marine who just won't die. Thats why a good armored company list will include a good amount of direct fire or flamer items and maybe some speed bump troops. I prefer a hellhound and some ST squads.

nobody can dampen my mood, my boys are feerless. ha ha ha
