http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net DKoK Assault Brigade as a long-ish term project. I'm going to try and make it competitive enough to run for a couple tournies, and still fit the theme of a WW1 artillery gunline/infantry horde in terms of look and feel without getting into the stuff some find objectionable about the list (massed thudd guns, allied psykers, etc)

So we've got some Big "Big Guns", some smaller "Guns" (the Rapiers), a mess of autocannons and a ton of infantry with grenade launchers and flamers.

Essentially the infantry are largely armed with whatever the models come with and lower end weaponry, largely to save on points and because they wouldn't get much out of more extensive weaponry anyway and their job is to body block stuff from getting to the big guns or just sit on objectives. Autocannons are there to supplement anti-light tank and provide some long range usable anti-infantry firepower. Death Riders are there because they look cool, I have a 5 man squad, had 85pts to spare and a Counter-assault unit couldn't hurt to have. Rapiers and Medusas are there for AT/anti-MC work, the Earthshakers for anti-infantry/supplemental AT. The largest threat I believe is going to be tough Deep Striking units that can hop in and either torch lots of the infantry on entry or resist lots of the return fire to engage in assaults the following turn.

would you consider a skyshield for your rapiers to get that 4++?

would swapping 3 x rapiers into thuds be a good choice as it can pin and hold back the tide a little longer and as nids have had a boost recently i would imagine it would increase the likelihood of seeing them as an opponent? it could give the list some longevity when the orks get some love later this year also.

I could toss in a skyshield, though normally I don't have the Rapiers centralized in such a manner, though it would make them relatively irritating to destroy. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577308/6499935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577308/6499935.page GMT str 9/10, it might be more beneficial to have 2 units that can saturate an area with massive amounts of str5/6 pie plates that have a bonus to pin. Tossing the guns up on a skyshield makes it even better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577308/6639530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577308/6639530.page GMT
