http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net ppm? No restrictions other than range and LoS to target? +1 to hit for one squad vs. one target is easily worth 20 points for almost any crappy squad of filler out there... 20 points for buffing special weapons teams or basilisks or 50 freaking conscripts at a time is just insane. My opponent took 6 of these and basically upgraded his army's BS across the entire table.

The easy answer I can see myself giving is "well just kill the searchlights, they're not that tough." But when I sat there debating whether to use my tank's anti-infantry weapons to take lascannon special weapon teams out of the fight, or take the thing buffing the lascannons out of the fight, the obvious answer is to kill the lascannons. Unfortunately that logic stays true all the way until you get to the conscripts, and the game was over before I finished killing all the special weapons and tanks, so I never killed a single searchlight.

Anyone else deal with this kind of guard army? How?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732176/9482175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732176/9482175.page GMT
Supposedly giving on unit a +1 being too powerful was one of the main reasons tau markerlights got their heavy nerf.
(well, that an people hated the formations...which are now gone)

+1 is amazing, especially for low BS armies.

Searchlights used to only give bonuses during night fight missions. Sigh....FW really needs to get out of the rules business, leave that to the main guys, and just do what they actually do well - make cool models.
