That Missile Pod/Markerlight/Buffmander unit you were telling me about looks very formidable. I'll definitely have to keep that config in mind.
Are those Alien Temple bases you're using?
Any thoughts on your deep striking suits? How did they do compared to your other test games?
Glad you enjoyed the Bat Rep.
Yeah, its a formidable unit. It really brings a lot to the list, but its expensive and can be taken out by anything that can get around the BuffCommander,
LD attacks, Barrage,
DS, Outflank, etc. This unit has been hit or miss, the two games I've lost one I failed a
LD to Terror and lost them off the board, another game I failed 3/4 2+ Armor Saves, 1/1 4+ Invulns, 1/1 Look Out Sirs, and 4/4
FNPs on the Commander losing him to the first 5 wounds put on a unit. Otherwise, in every other game the unit has performed very well. Putting 3 Tides down with the BuffCommander Tanking unit on the board makes it very difficult to hurt for most opponents. I've seen the unit complete whiff and run off the board, and I've seen them take out four vehicles a turn plus mark another for destruction.
Yes, they are Alien Temple bases. Five of those Crisis aren't finished as I recently added a gob more Crisis options to the army as a whole and they are awaiting being finished and based. I made a display board that matches the Alien Temple Bases, and together it looks pretty sweet.
My DSing units, I usually only
DS the two Fusion Squads and the Burst squads. I almost always walk on the Twinlinked Missile Suits and the Firewarriors. The DSing fusion can be hit or miss, but usually hit hard then die. When I have Markerlight Support for them, they are phenomenal, but without they can be mediocre. For instance the Dual Fusions only had 2 hits and dealt one wound to the Wraithknight. Fortunately, the Burst Suits got really ridiculously lucky and managed to get three wounds through saves which was kind of shocking. Overall, these units would have been much more effective had I pressed forward and had Markerlight Support for them.
