DE players (or people who have faced DE) if they think mandrakes can ever be useful. I don't know about competitive useful, lets not kid ourselves here but have you had any success stories with them? Any tactical use? Psychological or otherwise? I always thought they had the potential for some trolling. 15pts is a little steep but they do have 2 attacks at str4, I5, move through cover, fleet, stealth, infiltrate, night vision (lol) and can get furious charge, fearless and an ap4 storm bolter attack. For 150pts you get 10 and I feel like they could be quite useful to infiltrate beside some fire warriors on a defence line or some IG heavy weapons teams. Any thoughts, ideas, Stories?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459597.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459597.page GMT DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful?
A commin tactic used to be to drop of an hamuncyly from a boat to give them feel no pain and shooting. I do not think there is a way for them to outflank together?

You can infiltrate them i a bastion and use bs 4 heavy bolters, hoping to get a pain token.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459854.page GMT Re:DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459863.page GMT DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459878.page GMT DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459940.page GMT DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6459950.page GMT DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful?

Mandrakes are very useful...they make great counts as wracks. Models look fantastic, rules are total garbage.


exactly, I have a bunch from the good ol' days when i bought them simply to have them. If i ever dust off my DE it will probably be to use them as wracks, since those are actually good, just like how i use my old grotesques as wracks too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6462679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574829/6462679.page GMT Re:DE question: Are Mandrakes ever useful?
