<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Deathwing Vs Drop Guard"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Deathwing Vs Drop Guard ML's, and 3 venerable dreads with missile launchers and multi-meltas. My standard 2k list ATM.

Anyway, he had 2 full platoons with a plasma in each squad, and 3 command squads with 5 meltas. He also had 2 outflanking squadrons of 3 sentinels w/ las cannons and HK Missiles.

Needless to say, I got roflstomped. Mostly because I failed 13/17 invuln saves from his plasma.

Im really at a loss of what to do about going against that army. He got really lucky on his deep strikes, as only 1 of his squads got a mishap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/604627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/604627.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard
BTW, out of 17 invulnerable you should fail 11.333 anyways, so not that unlucky.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/604678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/604678.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard
Other than that, you know you're going against drop guard, castle up in cover and then wipe him off the board when he lands. It only takes a few surviving Terminators to wipe out lots of IG squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/604736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/604736.page GMT Re:Deathwing Vs Drop Guard
Edit-
Also, none of his plasma died until turn 5, with over 50 shots fired throughout the game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/605590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/605590.page GMT Re:Deathwing Vs Drop Guard get in cover, pass your 4+ knonk him on the head.

32 or 57 points of DH allies and you crush the IG scum.

Either a 45 point Inquisitor Lord HQ choice with 2 (6 point each) attached mystics or a 20 point Inquisitor elite choice with 2 (6 points each) mystics.

They deepstrike and mystics allow you a free shot at 4d6" range with any unit within 12" of Inquisitor unit. They are dead the moment they hit ground.

Really that simple and that cheap. 32 or 57 points. You could also, deploy in DH Land Raider and blast away with that.

Play a elite and HQ of DH with added mystics and two units shoot at IG squads. Overkill, but job is done. Funny thing about it.... You shoot them on their turn. So you can survey the carcasses on your turn ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/605727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/605727.page GMT Re:Deathwing Vs Drop Guard
Out range him, assault cannons and storm bolters are evil, getting more shots at a higher BS and S.

Also, since you get to deepstrike first, take up all the open area, this goes for when going against any other deepstrikers also. limit his area to deploy in, try to take up as much space with your guys, you may not have a lot of models but twice as big bases. Dangerous terrain when DSing may only happen on 1's but you make them roll enough of em and thats a considerable amount that don't get to do jack.

There is no real garuntee win against drop guard with DW but your best bet is make his drops worse because you get on the board first.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/605737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/605737.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/606278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/606278.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard

That would have been smart. Or I could have deployed in my corner, making a large part of his forces unavailable to deep strike near me due to lack of room, and causing a high probability of mishaps for him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608730.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608730.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard

I don't think that would have worked as well as keeping everything off the board. I find that with any all Deep Striking armies it is best to keep your stuff of the board. They usually don't no were to drop in at and end up makeing a mistake with the drop. It is like giving them a taste of ther own medacine. Plus your force is so small it is easy to overload a flank with them and still have room to manuevar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608746.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard DW army for advice he's one of the lead guard players around. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608767.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard

I'm hoping that the new IG codex reduces that somewhat. But I'm also hoping that the standard issue inquisitor and pair of mystics the inquisition is handing out like beads at Mardi Gras gets FAQ'd out sometime soon. It really does shut down an awful lot of opponents options, for way too few points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/608931.page GMT Deathwing Vs Drop Guard

Jon, the one that's away at college. Pat mentioned he sold his DW army to someone, and by the look of that list I can only assume you were playing Doug.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/609020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232686/609020.page GMT
