Playing Annihilation


terminatorAM

Recommended Posts

my first game with the new BA several weeks ago was Annihilation and i got stomped. I play a mostly-mech list and have 5 ICs in the list between priests, a chaplain and 2 HQs. So my opponent (Eldar) picked off the transports then worked over the units with ICs and scored way more victory points than i was able to against him.

 

So my question: is there a way to deny an opponent these easy kills or is it something BA will just have to deal with as a disadvantage?

Sounds like alot of IC's, what points limit was it?

 

Balancing your list also includes balancing for certain missions.

 

The list may look very strong on paper, but in a ahnilation mission it will suffer if its stacking high KP's - especially 5 "easy" ones.

 

For example, at 1500 I run 2 IC's - a libby and corbs (or 3, with 2 SP's).

 

Do you need a chaplin? If your 2 HQ's are Libbys- why not run with one with unleash rage - which essentially converts him into a mini chaplin anyway.

 

Etc...

 

I suffer from high KP army due to 5 man squad/razors. So what I am doing is creating the aternative where I can run 10 man squads with rhino's (or just run as a plain space marine army). You need to be aware of where weakness's are in your army, and if its something you can cut .. go for it.
