The Chars that i can take are best suited for going solo.

Lash spam - the lash princes pull you in so that the rest of the army can destroy you. Lash breaks all the rules of a tactical game if you have no counters such as a hood.

Fateweaver Blood Crusher spam - the big wave drops right beside for a turn, sucks up all your retribution for one turn then proceeds to smash you. There are very few counters to stop this except for the inherent randomness of daemonic horde armies which can easily be diluted by knowing Chaos veterans. I think the main reason why this list is not more popular is that most people are not comfortable deep striking their entire army. The ability to deep strike an entire army of hard core assault units that always get a save at the bare minimum trumps everything else.

Nob bikers is another bubble force by way of fielding complex units that also always get a save and the warboss plus boss poles and the Waaagh banner. This army is a highly mobile force bubble that gets right up in your face.

Space Marines are all about the force bubble and only now are people realizing how to go about captilizing on this style of play. Each SM special character is basically a multiplier for force bubbles. There are so many to choose from that the water is a bit murky as to which are the best to bare. Personally I think the best two combos are Vulkan/Lysander and Dante/Corbulo.

Another Chaos daemonic horde force bubble is the Tally Man.

Older codices such as SoB that have not been updated were written before the force bubble approach came into full strength so throwing them out there is basically comparing apples to oranges. Sure they can't force bubble but they were never intended to.

I see Eldrad as the penultimate example of the first special character designed to force bubble an army. The sole exception to Eldrad is the Black Templars' Emperor's Champion. You can also easily make the case that Tyranids synapse is also a force bubble.

I think the confusion is stemming from his use of "force multiplier" and "force bubble" interchangeably. Obviously Lash is a multiplier, but I don't understand how that (or Nob Bikers) constitutes a "bubble." A bubble in this context usually denotes some aura/influence radiating a limited distance from a single point (thus creating a sphere). A force bubble is a type of multiplier, but a multiplier is not necessarily a bubble.

That being said, the entire game is obviously about force multipliers of various types. Finding the most combinations of multipliers that yield the highest output for the least amount of points is the cornerstone of competitive list building.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729313.page GMT Force bubblica http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729567.page GMT Force bubblica

As a friend commented this week, 40k is becoming more like Warmachine. Lots of Special Characters running around. Lots of combos and bonuses. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729753.page GMT Force bubblica

Agreed on both points. I think 'bubble' connotates a geographical layout that is obliterated by multiple blast templates. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/240962/729790.page GMT Force bubblica
