makesomenoise Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 After much reading I can see 2 serious problems for a pure emperor's children armies in 6th. Terminators and Flyers. Terminators can be handled with alot of fire power and alot of lascannon/ plasma (also other things) Flyers.... well shot sturation with noise marines is iffy to say the least and none of our heavy weapons have sjyfire, also despite some places being generous our daemon princes are not flyers they are clearly jump monstrous creatures. Aside from taking allies (flying daemons from hell) I only see one real option, fortifications. Specificly the Aegis defense shield with a quad gun or icarus las cannon. Has anyone else come up with this conclusion or as a group will we be attempting to dominate the ground and ignore flyers in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 TL'd weapons are still effective against flyers, sadly Chaos lacks a lot of good TL'd platforms outside of our land raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurph Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Plasma, Pfists and allied fliers/hydras. That's about it. Slaanesh termis got a bump against meqs but since Pfists/Axes set I to 1, no help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makesomenoise Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Guess it's time to break out my autocannon dreadnoughts again, if i can't blow em up i'll suck the hull points out of em i guess lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 For now? Terminators: massed anti-infantry fire, plasma spam, our own terminators with a few fists & axes, so long as the enemy terminators aren't of the TH/SS variety. Fliers: Fortifications with quads, allied imp guard fliers & skyfire tanks, twin linked guns (reaper autocannons, twin linked las) in a pinch. But we've got a new book right around the corner, with a flier of our own almost guaranteed, and other skyfire options likely. I wouldn't get too worried about it, yet.

makesomenoise Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Oh i'm not paniced for the long run, i just have a 1750 coming up and i want to be loaded. I've managed to stay competative with my slaaneshi army to date and I don't want to go into the new codex limping lol. I'm probably going for the strategic warlord table and I have the bulk of my army set up for it. Most forces will have a problem if i'm messing with their reserves or using night fighting/ cover to my advantage. Still it's good to have your bases covered =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphariusomegon20 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Bastions with quad guns are the answer to flyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
