I have no intention of doing such a thing...he is the reason for my many losses at this game and even killed my leader in our current mordheim campaign (with a single archer in cc...I play skaven).

So onto the details for those who feel sorry for me...It's a small 1k game, I play nids, he claims to be fielding an infantry company. I was originally thinking just pack a load of BS into as many fexes, tyrants and warriors as possible and watch the kill count rack up. However, I feel that this would be slight overkill. Any other suggestions? I'm leaning towards a load of heavies that his infantry should just crumble at the sight of...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673641.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673713.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673713.page GMT
I can't be sure what he'd mean by full company.
HQ + 2 platoons is 320 points or so with no upgrades, so it means little.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673813.page GMT IG player that has taken a lot of time to theorybash the new IG dex, I can tell you that the biggest fear for an infantry heavy IG army facing 'Nids is the hormagaunt horde. If you take a crapload of gaunts, you will run over his gunline pretty easily. Kit the Tyrant/Fexes with the number of venom cannons that you expect to be necessary for keeping his armor 'shook up', and fill the rest with gaunts.

I would strongly advise you not to take genestealers. Their elite close-combatness isn't necessary against crap guard melee, and having fewer models makes you more vulnerable to the armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673825.page GMT FRFSRF! will be able to take bits out of guants. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673938.page GMT ap- guys with an occasional hvy weapon and special weapon .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673960.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/673960.page GMT And the new leadership will die like fish without much effort]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/674894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237033/674894.page GMT cc fex, tyrant w/ guard and a flyrant) and a few gaunts. It started with me punishing him early (he put 50 men into 1 squad) with my BS then my T7 fex got into cc. He hadn't taken any PFs so I got stuck in combat for a couple of turns then he fled. The rest was just clean up...I think he made a mistake of only including meltas to take out heavy threats that can cripple him in cc (wraithlord and fexes are the most obvious).

We had another game after using a tank based force (a punisher, hellhound, 2 LR, 2 chimeras and the minimum troops allowance). I also changed my force to have 2 gunfexes instead of a cc fex. A bit tougher and it ended in a draw (capture and control).

It was interesting how IG have changed with the new orders. Makes lasfire a lot more dangerous to MCs that aren't T7.
