I am getting a little sick of trying to deal with these things - every time I play our Blood Angels player it drop pods in, slaughters my unit behind the Aegis line with the frag cannon and the procedes to rampage through my lines - mainly been playing Dark Eldar recently and they can't seem to kill the thing.....I absolutely hate it.........

First time I played against it detonated a entire bastion, killing three units which was quite funny and the game swung abck and forward, but since then it just seems to be invicible............

Anyone else have the same problem ?

Maybe I am just not taking enough haywire but lost count of the number of Dark Lances/Blasters that bounced off them - or maybe just new dice....... :(

Well it can't assault on the turn it arrives out if the pod, so you should have a full turn to try and kill it.

Yeah I should and do try they just don't seem to die - the Emperor Protects I guess - well saying that works for my Sisters army.................

Even dropped a pair of DL raiders behind it last game - to no avail - just bounced off............after it had fragged my unit on arrival

Are you running ravagers? Or the Flyer?

One turn of a ravager firing should be enough. One squad of wyches with haywire should do ok, bearing in mind they ignore 50% of wounds with their dodge (feel free to use a shardnet to reduce attacks!). The main thing is to not let it change your gameplan. If you're scared of what a unit will do, not just aware of what it could do, it's done its job already.

Let his 160 point unit kill whatever unit you have behind your aegis. It's probably not worth the same. Enough lance fire will work, or glancing it with haywire.

I used to play my Blood Angels against a friend's Dark Eldar army quite frequently. He would kill my Furioso's immediately after I dropped them in, every time.

2 Ravagers = dead Furioso, at least in my experience.

It varies what I am using - usually just a single ravager as I only have one. Got 10 raiders..........

This is a bit reasuring - maybe its just my dice. I know it should die but in the 4 or 5 recent games its been immune to all I could trow at ti - half a dozen DL's in one game turn alone.

it kept killing my Farseer and Pathfinder allies, then in other games my Wracks, Hormunclus and Talos and Kabalites and..........

I'd given up with Wyches as they kept bouncing off stuff need to try them with new haywire grenades as vehicle killers I guess.

Wyches with Haywire Grenades end Dreadnoughts.
