<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Death-Strike Missile Spam"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Death-Strike Missile Spam IG codex and was wondering if anyone tried running 3 IG deathstrike Missiles...

Despite being a little unreliable, 3 of them might lead to 1 firing off the second turn or third turn...
The only counter to 3 of those missiles that I could imagine would be to leave your army in reserve....

What do you guys think? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1619416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1619416.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1623881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1623881.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam
Or even better, get a LRBT and blast them over and over again for the entire match, running them over if they try and get away. Or a bunch of Medusas.

IG have too many SQUADRONS of really nice Heavy Support to waste then on 1shot, delayed fire weapons that just aren't that good. I mean, what if you wait 3 turns and they scatter wrong? You just wasted your entire Heavy Support on nothing. Well, a heavy bolter platform. But that's not a good deal IMHO.

BUT, it scatters. IG shooting skills just aren't enough to make it reliable.
If you get lucky and it goes off on turn 2-3, you might nuke somehting good, if your scatter isn't bad. But, against a mobile army that drives toward your lines, a bad scatter can put the whole blast right into the midst of YOUR lines. I know if I saw three of those bad boys on the table, I'd just floor it and get as close to you as I could, maybe even tarpittnig myself with your infantry if possible.

But, they are a fun, unpredictable unit. Proxy up three of them, and try it out for a few games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624043.page GMT Re:Death-Strike Missile Spam
Still, while that might seem funky in regular 40k, deathstrikes are too vulnerable and too random to be of much use. They are good in Apoc though, where the extra big templates and no FoC can make a big difference.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624600.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam
so its a [(d3+3)*2] inch blast. maximum size being a 12" wide blast marker, that doesnt have a center hole and hits full strength on any vehicles touched by any part of the marker ...

Im thinking of buying 3 of the kits and mabye 7 or 8 more chimeras and platoon it up and surround the deathstrikes 2 or 3 deep with chimeras, wait for the world to asplode.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624659.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam GW for giving us nice clear rules... again]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624695.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624754.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam There would be rage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1624947.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam
With 3 of them, I imagine your opponent will be hard pressed to kill them all!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1625836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/297594/1625836.page GMT Death-Strike Missile Spam
