I dropped two of the pods empty on turn 1, for turn 2 Tau deployment zone pie plate shenanigans. This is definitely one of my new favourite tactics. The third pod containing the vanilla dread came in on Turn 2 and got summarily executed by the Broadside unit and Interceptor. It's a pity too because he landed beside a unit of Fire Warriors. Nevermind..

Libby rolled Endurance and the 6th Telekinesis one (can't remember the name, forces enemies to re-roll to hit and wound rolls of 6). He is still my MVP. I'll always roll Biomancy!

Centy's put out a lot of hurt and practically nullified a large unit of Broadside missile spam with drones.

I had never tried Rifleman Dreads, and it turns out that I really like them. Didn't take out much, but they both survived until the end and forced some difficult target priority choices.

OMG how I do love TFC's!!! they are complete bullet magnets once you toast something valuable. They took out the Pathfinders (and subsequently removed his ability to use marker-light cheese) in the first turn.

Turned out to be a draw in the end.

Here's where I need your input people. This is a very different list to my normal, and I really like the changes, however I'm not happy with how my Tactical Squads are playing out (as it is, one of them got shot to sht, losing the Missile/Grav/GravPistol to Plasma spam) and the other didn't move and only fired a missile for first 4 turns (admittedly get a weapon destroyed result on the grav tank), eventually moving in the 5th to claim my deployment zone objective.

I would like to run Tac squads bare bones, so that I can take a unit of HB equipped AB's. Question really is this, am I simply equipping my Tac squads incorrectly? Based on deployment and opponent I sometimes drop my pods full, which is why I have been trying to flesh them out with weapon options.

Is there anything glaringly obvious that I have made a mistake with? I'm aware that I didn't have any AA, however we weren't playing flyers and I do have two Vendettas + assorted Guard units to ally when necessary.

Centurions, Riflemen, and TFC's were all proxy'd.

Marine units I have available to me are as follows:
3x AB's w/ HB
8x Bikes (including a model I can use as a Captain/Chapter Master, or simply as Vet Sgt)
1x Landspeeder w/ MM and HF
1x Captain/CM in Terminator Armour w/ TH/SS
1x Terminator Chappy
5x Assault Terminators w/ TH/SS
1x Assault Terminator w/ TLC
1x Terminator w/ Cyclone
1x Terminator w/ HF
1x Terminator w/ CF
1x Terminator Sergeant w/ PS/SB
6x Terminators
1x Landraider Redeemer w/ MM
+ many more marines, veteran sgt's, etc w/ many different weapon options including heavy weapons

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554451/6087834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554451/6087834.page GMT tllc cents. Haven't tried them yet, but by the sounds of it I definitely will. The bonus is they only take up one hs slot so still got room for two tfcs. Like you did. I'm definitely giving that combo a whirl, thanks mate. Stick with it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554451/6087860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554451/6087860.page GMT
