Was just wondering if taking a large number of them (like 15+) would be a decent idea, or whether they'd just be mediocre.

CAD or Decurion, they're going to be performing the same as far as scoring goes.
But at least with Decurion they'd be a little more resilient.
(though I did have an idea for speed focused CAD 'Crons that basically involved 3 GA, 2 NS, and 3 units of 9 Tomb Blades for some fairly hard to kill score-o-rama fun)

Anyone tried fielding tons of them? How'd it work out?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367149.page GMT
He ran them with shields, scopes and then 2 gauss, 1 with the blast weapons

While I know that's very anecdotal its all I can offer!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367299.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367299.page GMT do you mean he played them with units consisting of 2/3 gauss and 1/3 beamers (blast weapon)?
Or two units with gauss, one unit with beamers?

Either way, average results against top level lists isn't exactly bad . May even indicate there's potential there with the right build.

By way of wondering, do you know if he was playing them in a CAD or a Decurion?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367328.page GMT
I think 15 might be a bit overkill. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367379.page GMT But they have the potential to cause some serious hurt, between massed gauss, blasts, and even twin linked Tesla.
But so far as I can tell, this is only theory, as no one has a ton of Tomb Blades to even test this out with.

IMO, you need some low AP support to complement them. So perhaps Rod Praetorians in the Elites slot with min squads of Tesla Immortals in a CAD. Then throw in Heavy Destroyers for picking off transports. The Praetorians can keep up with the Tomb Blades and provide AP 2 and assault protection. Immortals and Heavy Destroyers can provide support from afar while capping objectives in your backfield. For an HQ, I guess a cryptek hiding with a unit of Immortals would be fine.

I don't know if that would be a great list. I know it would be a fun list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675697/8367480.page GMT
