Hello All,

After a ten year gap I played my first 2 Vs 2 team game this weekend just gone.

We played BA (me) & Tyranids versus a Space Marine army and Imperial Guard.


The game was close but I didn't feel like I achieved much at all. Below is the army list I fielded.

Can people enlighten me on some tactics when facing off against Imperial Guard tanks and space marine troops?


Librarian
Dante
x5 Terminators (1 with Cyclone)
Baal Predator Tank
x10 Assault Squad with Jump packs
x5 Sanguinary Guard

The Sanguinary Guard and Assault squad were deepstriked but didn't manage to take out any tanks and were enemy no. one getting blasted by pretty much everything....

Any advice would be great as I really want to get back into this hobby.


Thanks for reading

Hello.

Maybe you could help by telling at what point range you play?

My first thought would be that your list is illegal (I think you need 2 troop choice?), that you need to bring more bodies to the table, and that I do no see any apothecary (or whatever OP version the BA have that gives FNP).

As for taking out tanks, how much melta (guns/bombs) did you have in the army? I only see a CML that can bring some pain on enemy armour. A well placed tactical squad with melta in a drop pod/rhino can be a great asset against those metal boxes.

Point range I plan on playing is 1000 - 1500.

By including Dante the Sanguinary Guard count as a troop choice. The assault squad had two plasma weapons and Dante has one.

The assault squad also felt a little blah getting assaulted by a tactical squad and taking equal losses.

Hey dude, check this BA thread out.
