My old builds tended to be a bunch of MSU or mixed bag of one off units for specialist use (like 1 arty, 1 MC, 1 flyer, 1 building, etc) but I've been seeing a ton of talk on deathstar kind of units on the forums and such. Probably not going to be competitive for a while but wondering what you guys think is most useful now a days. Of course things will change whenever 8th comes out but till then, what do you guys find to be more effective for a TAC standard box rules kind of lists? (I don't know what ITC and stuff uses but might start looking into that as I'll be likely moving to Las Vegas soon so tournaments might be something to try eventually)

MSU?
Mixed?
Deathstar?
Mech?
Massed Air?

I can play as any race faction cept mechanicus right now as I kind of stopped just before skittarius came out. To keep the discussion on track, I'm not really asking for fluffyness / fun/ or concerned about spam. Just looking at effectiveness and effectiveness alone and looking for general opinions. I'll experiment myself of course over time but it'd be kind of nice to have something to start with anyway.

Most games, especially in tournaments, will have 3+ objectives.

MSU is also quite hard to kill for a lot of armies.

Battle company is perhaps the epitome of this but most codexes will have examples of this ; warp spider spam, solo crisis suit spam, little shame etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712067/9096786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712067/9096786.page GMT Getting back into the game, looking for general composition advice MSU is still good and will likely remain good for a while yet. Even with deathstar armies they seem to have MSU support to go along with it, it's just that these deathstars seem to rely on buffs and it's easier to buff one unit than many at once.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712067/9096866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712067/9096866.page GMT
