http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k and i just read a battle report of typhus chaos vs nids. (which was very well done btw , check it out) one thing stuck out to me tho. The aegis line helped the horde of nids considerably more than chaos. Im thinking of getting one but was wondering how this could have been averted. Basically chaos deployed his entire force behind the line (except epi) Was this a mistake? Should he have diversified his bonds and scattered around the table? Im just curious cuz this was an example of things gone wrong concerning aegis.

The aegis line is something to support your army, but everyone takes it because "durr 4+ cover save!" and pays no heed to the rest of the battle. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493728/5060863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493728/5060863.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493728/5060912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493728/5060912.page GMT ADL is poor.

I regularly run an ADL for my guard, whether I'm doing blob lascannon/plasmagun or mech (mech vets behind and ADL is just nasty). My opponent has never managed to get a cover-save against the chimeras due to being able to see over, and the guard blob can take FoMT.

Generally horde armies come in three kinds: 'Nids, Orks and Guard (although guard less so). With good ADL placement and deployment, they shouldn't get much use out of it. Just think ahead before you place it!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493728/5060942.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493728/5060942.page GMT
