I like the Necron VSG !

He isn't kidding anyone... He is going to play the 5 hive tyrant list. Otherwise he wouldn't have painted the other two hive tyrants in time

So.... Can Void Shields take cover saves? What about invul saves, say from a KFF? o_O

pfff, seriously?

non of these should be possible Void shields are a save and nothing more.

No benefits from anything for the shields and they aren't targeted. But other than that each vsg is pretty much like a av12 transport that holds your entire army. With iwnd.

What the other guys said.

It's a special case kind of like markerlights. You get no cover against markerlights because they don't cause any wounds. Only with void shields, it is the other way around. The VS has no wounds or hull points to lose and is not an actual unit so it doesn't get any cover saves (nor does it get Invuln saves).

Or maybe I finished it so that I have the option of running it? If my army wasn't done, then there wouldn't be a choice at all as to which army I could run.

BTW, good luck Nick. Hope you get past your 1st round opponent.

Just depends on how much he hides behind a Void shield generator

You mean the generator that is going to make your Eldar cry? Nah, it's just a launching pad for my metallic shrimps and alien birds.

ha I am so not playing Eldar. Farthest from it

Good for you Nick !!

Sooo....Necrons?

nah it will throw a lot of people off . I will tell you that.

Deathwing FTW?

Expect the unexpected. I like that! Looking forwards to the challenge.

Well Jy2 I look forward to game summaries from the event. Good luck this weekend.

Thanks tetris! Leaving tomorrow. Can't wait!

So my solution for the VSG is Gauss. My regular warriors can bring it down from range. I thought about including a VSG in my list for the 40k champs at adepticon but I found it had too many counters and that I would try to depend on it to much. It is good but for 100 points I am not sure I need it.

As for the cloak and dagger list.... we have always been forward about are list selections... what has changed now? haha

I predict that necrons (some flavor of) will take it. I also predict orks will place in the top 4!

(predictions about great ork placement void in reality).

Because it doesn't build excitement and anticipation tomb !, duh

I am playing blood Angels, If that helps.

So you want to open your Christmas present early, huh? Haha...I prefer opening my Christmas presents on Christmas day, even if I basically know what it is. A little anticipation and a little mystery to keep my potential opponents on their toes.

Not Tyranids? Hmmm....judging from what I've been hearing at the more recent tournaments (TSHFT and Caledonian), I expect to see some flavor of Leviathan in one way, shape, form or another.

Oooooh....then my good sir, you will have me at a slight disadvantage.

I have not played the new Blood Angels, nor have I even read their new codex yet! I have no idea how competitive the new BA can be. Lol. I suspect it will be quite a learning experience for me.

20 bucks says he takes the fluff killer list.

Good on you - can't wait to see your build !

I'd take that bet, except that's what I voted for (and what I think he'll take). It is less susceptible to hard counters and presents difficult (unfamiliar) choices to the opponent.

Personally I dont think the fluff killer is his best build. It will have issues against a couple of builds that I can already think up. It is hard to make a complete TAC in the current meta.

Ok guys, the wait is over. The army that I will be running will be

I knew it - good luck Jim !!

Ha! Someone shoulda taken me up on my offer! I'd be out 20 bucks.

Spoiler:

That is a good choice and best of luck. IMO that list would slaughter your fluff killer list. Also knights would of given you hell on the fluff killer list.

Kinda disappointed in the army you picked. Mostly because if you do well it means more people will play FMC, and FMC aren't really fun to play against especially in more casual games. But good luck, will still root for you to bring it home.

The competitiveness of the five Flyrant build has been a hot topic since it became possible...should be very interesting to see how it fares in the hands of a quality general among top competition over a multi-round tournament. Best of luck!
