Im not going to say what Im specifically taking on because although Im taking on one guy, I don't tailor. All you need to know is its cheese so I want to and am willingly to play the most competetive list available for rw]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6076897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6076897.page GMT 1850pt RW http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6076984.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6076984.page GMT 1850pt RW MC because in combo with the GL's on the command squads, I can ID anything up to T6 which is nice to say the least. so hopefully the vindies will be targeting different things to them and will be in different enough areas to negate that. although there is the posibility that it could be near my BK squads because of the 12' rad range but hopefully it doesn't scatter back 12' which would suck a tonne.

thanks for that, personally I dont see it as being a major and frequent problem but it is important to consider when playing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6077108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6077108.page GMT 1850pt RW RW games under your belt?

Libby=Good choice "staple" in any DA list

RWCS= Always a good choice, the libbys PFG will help a little. do not expect them to last long. Id throw a dark shourd in. For its points its a steal, Stealth an Shroud=2+ cover save. Did you add a gernade launcher into this unit? -1 toughness to what ever they hit.

Biker= Must have, Meltas not to sure about i mean what its 20 points to equip two guys with one. They never seem to get in range and live to use it for me.

Attack Bikes= If one goes down they count as a unti and give up a kill point alone. Id play around with land speeder typhoons. They can stay back and give some nice fire support. Im looking into using them more.

The tanks= Like stated your going to be pretty much in the thick of it turn 2. Which is going to leave the tanks looking for targets and not protected. All it takes is one bad scatter and you just smoked some much needed bikers. If i was you i would scratch the tanks an add another unit of bikers.

Sammy=nothing great about him but his sword and cannon. Other wise 3 wounds with a 3 up save. He is ez to kill and really doesnt add much to the overall army. Keep him back he isnt a beast. His sword is nice swings and his I and is ap2.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6077929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6077929.page GMT 1850pt RW http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6078430.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553881/6078430.page GMT 1850pt RW

I just have a few questions, 1st do you play a lot of tau or eldar? because where I play DS are absolutely useless, it takes almost no fire power for some armies to kill because of ignores cover being so prominent, I play a lot of eldar and tau and I can't expect to win tournaments with a DS purely because cover is not so useful. if you dont verse those armies a lot then they would be great but not for me. I'd be better spending those points towards a LS vengeance (yes I know they are terrible, thats my point), where I play they are no longer effective sorry.
2nd as for the meltas, I know they are close distance and stuff and I know about the attack bikes but how do yo otherwise plan or advise I take out AV13 or 14 with any marine armies or IG? I dont see any other option and unfortunatley while kiting is fun, LS don't do that job effectively because they would also suffer from range if they took MM especially since they are AV10.

Im still to try out and see if this large blast conundrum is a real problem or just a possible thing that may happen but will likely not.

Really this is a slight approximation but I'd id say its a pretty likely chance that the difference between my values and the actual values is negligible. Also yes I have two which means if I fire both every turn for 6 turns than I will get a 2 out of every 3 games a hit on my own guys, but for 6 turns of functionality of 2 vindies is well worth a little sacrifice. and If I decided 7" is the optimal well than realistically that's a 1 in every 4 games it will happen and well that's no problem. the point is that even at 6" on average I will only hit myself once every 19 shots (its actually higher but im rounding down to give myself the most pessimistic outlook)
