http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net The opponent will now have to keep away from a 12" radius from the centre of the board (or 3 12" radii if taking 3) or risk 3 st8 ap2 large blasts. Give them split fire or ignore cover orders if required, prescience for 2/3's of an auto hitting chance with each charge. Yeh they may have a chance of killing themselves as well as the opponent - but the psychological factor and hampering of opponents plans would almost be worth the cost alone!
What do you think?

In fact, tactic for 6th against gunline army: place bunker 7" forward. Move unit into bunker turn1. Place escape hatch ~2" from opponents deployment. Turn 2 move unit 4" into oppinents deployment zone. Throw demo charges. Whilst also embarking a second unit into bunker for rinse and repeat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953646.page GMT
I'm running demolitions on all my Mech Vets at the moment, who already have Plasmas/Meltas, so countering assaulters is hardly a problem for me, the moment you hit their lines what you didn't just wipe out with the big guns now has to face up to multiple demo charges and low AP specials.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953794.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953806.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6953818.page GMT LoS blocking piece of terrain (hello deathstrike/manticore/wyvern).
I myself have bought up the escape hatch a few times in relation to death company, grav cents, melta units in 6th, relentless loth led multi-melta devs in 7th etc. Ive seen it mentioned by others in relation to crusader squads, ork nobs and such like, always as a slingshot. But spec demo squads are a different tactic - they are all about area denial. Ita not the escape hatch im pointing out here - we all know about that. Its the combination with the demo squad.
It is not that situational if facing an army that wants to assault you. It wants to come straight at you. The demo squad discourage this. If they ignore the squad, they recieve the blasts. If they instead are forced down the flanks they are immediately playing to your tune. Either way - the demo squad has done its job.
Also remember that you can put a squad inside the bunker and one right behind it. The combinaton of this with the fact that st8 ap2 blasts are exceptionally versitile in their choice of target means it is not a one trick pony.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6954234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601486/6954234.page GMT
