50/50


Recommended Posts

In 5th ed I ran a Sanguinary Guard army and had the whole thing deepstrike. hese days only 50% of the force (not including compulsory reserve) can be in reserve.

 

What do you use to hold the line while the rest of the army deepstrikes? I've been going for tactical and scout squads.

I have typically been struggling against shooty armies if I reserve too much, so my lists have been altered quite a bit in the 6th as I used to reserve a lot or all. Last game @ 1500 against Marines I ran:-

Mephiston

Honourguard (4x Melta)

Priest

2x Jump RAS

3 x Attack Bikes

Raven with Furioso (Talons)

 

I reserved HG and Raven/Dread, the rest on the table. I am finding that too much in the Raven is bad, so it tends to be squad or dread. Usually anything with jump packs is in on turn 2 which helps though. I am finding the bikes are golden in this edition and tend to use 4, but I am thinking of getting more.

I pretty much deploy everything, with a few exceptions.

 

I may or may not deploy Baal preds depending on if I want to use their outflank or not.

 

I don't deploy Dante/melta unit with Dante.

 

Sometimes I hold other jumpers in reserve but usually deploy everything else.
