Hi all, I'm returning to the game after a long absence (ahem, Rogue Trader, ahem) and finding the odd small change here and there.... Most importantly I'm trying to be fairly fluff accurate with my Raven Guard successors but frankly really struggling. When ive won I've won big, but those occasions are few and far between and most of the time I'm finding the only way to stay in contention is to get the first turn. I'm sniper heavy and have started avoiding forward deploying as most of the time that seems simply to get units killed early. Early on I tried using infiltrators and then master of ambush to reinforce them with aggressors, with eliminators and a gun line holding back field objectives, sometimes a jump pack assault squad to harass deeper. Any suggestions? I'm varying chapter tactics but tend to come back to bolter fusillades as a staple. Atm I can field 2-2.5k max but tend to play ¹k games in practise. Loosely my list will draw from: Primaris captain Phobos lt Primaris chaplain Phobos librarian Primaris apothecary Vindicare assassin 2 squads assault intercessors 2 squads infiltrators 2 squads eliminators (1 bolt rifles, 1 Las fusils) 2 squads aggressors (both flame variant) 1 squad suppressors 1 tactical squad with missile launcher or flamer 1 devastator squad with missile launcher, lascannon, plasma and grav 1 assault squad with jump packs 1 terminator squad with heavy flamer 1 hellblaster squad (assault variant) 1 sternguard squad (combi meltas plus heavy flamer) 1 razorback with lascannons 1impulsor with sky talon array Yet I keep just being overwhelmed by waaghs, Ulthwé alpha strikes and daemon engines. Any ideas?
