  • Chaos Space Marines - Deathguard; quasi-retired but will play if I ask him.
    Grey Knights - Always looking for a game, SoB allied detachment.
    Dark Eldar - our schedules never line up.
    Eldar - Getting married, almost never around.
    Tyranids - the Eldar player.
    Ad Mech - Always looking for a game.
    Ork's - always looking for a game.
    Space Marines - Raven Guard - Same as Ad Mech
    Space Marines - Crimson Fists - Same as Dark Eldar
    30k Alpha Legion - Same as Orks


    • We have a Tau/Space Wolf player, but he's not around much.

    I'm getting back into the hobby and I have a 5 man half assembled Sicarian squad with no weapons or heads. I've still got the sprue, but I can't decide what unit to make them into Ruststalkers or Infiltrators.

    I like the Infiltrators because I'm a fan of Outflank, but they typically don't do much damage.

    I like the Ruststalkers because transonic is really good, but they have died a lot to ranged attacks.

    What do you guys think? Which is better with this meta in mind?]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8714868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8714868.page GMT     Ad Mech Army: Sicarian Ruststalker or Infiltrators?

    As for Ruststalkers, I've yet to use them, but they seem like the sort you'd charge head-on into a Carnifex, or similiarly tough MC.
    Given that the Nid player is rarely around, and you're almost certain to have enough Anti-MEQ with the rest of your Skitarii, go for the Infiltrators.
    Even if there's no horde to pepper to pieces, you can still try your luck against a vital character.]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8714939.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8714939.page GMT     Ad Mech Army: Sicarian Ruststalker or Infiltrators?

    Of course you'll want both for War Convocation.

    If Imperials somehow got an Assault Transport cheaper than a Land Raider, then Ruststalkers would be awesome.]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8715927.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8715927.page GMT     Ad Mech Army: Sicarian Ruststalker or Infiltrators?

    I'm waiting for the Termite to make a glorious comeback!

    Though if you're set on Ruststalkers always take the Razor and Chordclaw. While yes you can swap them for dual Swords for a nice +1 Strength you'll lose out on the Chordclaws "molecular dissonance" rule, which in all honesty to simplify it take your stalkers attack -1 for each one alive and roll those seperately for Fleshbane. It still has the Transonic rule so first round 6's are ap2 after that all are ap2. The stalkers however are lacking any form ranged and are exceedingly squishy and will benefit more when you have a squad of Infiltrators and Vanguard in the fight with them to further debuff.]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8723589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693871/8723589.page GMT     Re:Ad Mech Army: Sicarian Ruststalker or Infiltrators?
