<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Target Prioritization against Nids"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Target Prioritization against Nids
I play vanilla marines; 2 dev with 4 MLs each, 2 stern, 2 tacs, and kitted out vanguard for counter assault. my list is very mobile as well.

My buddy has something like 4 fexes, shooty tyrant with guard, 3x zoanthrope choir, and deep striking stealers.

What should I target?! No matter what MCs I target the vast majority of the force will be in my grill not to mention the stealers are almost guaranteeing to be outflanking and handing out some rending attacks all evening. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668209.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids Your 2 devastator squads basically cannot dent any of the zoan or fexes and their 2+ save.

So after ineffective shooting you get assaulted with the DS stealers :/

Invest in some las cannons!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668214.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668238.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids

I rarely rely on the heavy weapon in my Tac. I like to play aggressive but I will combat squad if it is necessary to get off the MM.

should I replace some of the melta weapons with plasma?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668247.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids
If your tac squads plasma, combi-plasma, Plasma cannon

Have the missile launchers target anything with a 3+ save.

Yes krak missle are str 8 ap3.

zoanthrope and upgrade fex have 2+ save. both immune to instant death by it too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668319.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids

Unless he starts his big bugs in reserve and then eats them on the turn they come in.

Sternguard are overrated. I would never field more than one squad, unless it is in a Cantor list, and even then I would really have to think hard about it. Also, drop pods are a waste against nids. You drop in, are now stagnant, and oyu get eaten alive. If you are gonna use Sternguard against bugs, your best bet is to stick them in rhinos and rush up and double tap what you want o kill, then hop back an on your next trun and look for more targets. If they sit still against nids, they are dead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668444.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668444.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids
Basically take out his range attack first then dance around him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/668503.page GMT Re:Target Prioritization against Nids The enemy lost his momentum and attacked them while another force of his lines formed and readied to assault us a bit farther. So we repeated the same trick with the second unit and again stopped the advancement. All this time ofcourse we got another 2 rounds of clear shooting...guess what? We lost 2 Units and another 3 from the shooting exchanges, in order to make the whole horde target practise.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/670696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/670696.page GMT Re:Target Prioritization against Nids LOS to them.

To deal with outflanking stealers you may want to deploy on an empty flank (only deploy on one side of the board) and put up a couple of sacrificial combat squads. If the stealers get the correct board edge then they will eat a combat squad but get shot to pieces on your turn.

MLs dont really do it in 5th. They cant guarantee to kill a tank and cover saves mean that there are better things for killing infantry (im looking at you sternguard). Probably better to invest in some lascannon or plasma cannon.

Tyranids can really kill vehicles of any description anymore so if you put all your guys is rhinos then he will have a hard time killing them at range, not to mention he wont be able to assault them directly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/670734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/670734.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids
Kill 'fexes and Tyrant

Your tacts should have meltaguns and sgt with pp]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/671360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/671360.page GMT Target Prioritization against Nids
HQ: 2 Epostillary Libbis, GoI + ???

Elite: 2 stern squads with 2x melta each

Troop: 2 tac squads w/ melta and multi melta plus srg w/ plasma pistol
- rhinos

Heavy: 2 dev squads with 3xMLs + 1 LC each

Fast: 1 vanguard squad for counter assault.


i'll make room for those LCs by leaving the drop pods in the space hulk. I wish I could place some templates somewhere for those outflanking stealers though.

some of you may suggest more plasma guns in the stern. I agree but the dice gods have a tendency to hate me. I have taken more wounds to 'gets hot' than i'd like to admit.

i'll definitely have some pts to spare for 2000]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/671655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236657/671655.page GMT
