I've been running rapid alpha-strike lists for several editions now, autocannons and anything with Skyfire are probably the biggest holes in what my mechdar, Elysians, and Deep Strike/Stormraven GK can handle.

Balanced Game: Noun. A game in which all options and choices are worth using.

Do you mean the Black Templars?

Lol, no, I mean dark templars, which is how Black Templars are irreversibly filed in my brain.

The first time I played against dark black templars was against a drop pod list. I've been roflstomped by bad die rolling before, on multiple occasions, but I think that was the only time I ever got absurdly evicted from the table where it really was just my own fault, and nothing more.

Hush now. We know the suffering you feel inside. How you must fight yourself as well as your foes that constantly crush you over their heel. Shh... for now we can all stay united. Just don't mind if tentacles brush you or tongues lick you, they are just trying to comfort you.

Minotaurs: Kroot. Local guy likes running unorthodox, but very min-maxed lists. He's fond of 80 sniper kroot, 2 riptides and 3 skyrays (apparently a "Farsight Enclaves List, my foot, but that's another matter). The riptides get fisted to death pretty regularly, the skyrays I can just ignore (footslogging Terminator/Honour Guard list), but those kroot, 80 sniper shots a turn makes anything cry.

Death Korps of Krieg: Daemons. I've yet to lose to Eldar, or Tau with Guard, but those thrice-damned being of pure cheese irritate the hell out of me. I run very tank-heavy armies, and Daemons give positively not feths about high strength, low ap large blast weapons. One can only kill so much 3+ invuln per turn, and it is rarely enough before they simply go around my guardsmen and wreck all my support by walking across the table.

That, and I have a 50% "1" rate on any dice, so that may colour my opinion.


Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

As a mostly footslogging Khorne Marine player (due to my Rhinos always being blown up before they do anything useful), I fear any army that has guns. Or psykers. Or bikes.

So I guess I fear pretty much anything!

I didn't expect the Imperial Inquisition!

I play Ravenwing and recently developed an acute phobia of winning assaults on my turn right in front of a group of S10, AP2 pie plate cannons. A full strength bike squad gone in a vaguely red mist.

Guard codex, but the Krieg IS don't have the combined squad rule, means orders only affect 10 guardsmen.

Which is good, since now you can use all those juicy orders on your artillery instead.

Multi-level buildings are the worst, especially when playing against Tau. I can't easily clear them out with blasts or flamers, and they're difficult to approach and assault.
