malorn24 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Does Flakk replace the regulare missle profile of Frakk or Fragg? Or does the upgrade mean I now have 3 options to fire from my ML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If you pay the points for Flakk Missiles, you have a choice of three to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malorn24 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thats what I thought but as I was reading some of the other threads people were talking about if you take Flakk and your opponent doesnt take flyers then you have a wasted dev unit.

Dam13n Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 You still have a Dev unit with 4 Missile Launcher (Frag and Krak). You have however "wasted" 40pts on Flakk missiles that you aren't going to use in that game. But then again, if you are constructing a "take on all comers" list for a tournament/campaign then having a unit that can take on flyers is pretty much a must-have. It all depends on whether you play with "fixed/pre-written lists" or not. I have used pre-written lists for the past 3 years, and because of that I know how to use my lists so well, they decimate cheesy lists more often than not.

When you say pre-written do you mean a generic come and get it list. Or tailored specific. I think my problem has been trying to make my C:SM tailored to what I think I am going up against.

Dam13n Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 A list that I write at home that I use for every game regardless of what my opponent is using. I write them on my PC and bring a print out with me. That way I have the same force for every game. Just like attending a tournament. Tailoring is a crutch that limits the development of true tactical skill. Constructing a good list that can be used effectively against most enemies is a skill well worth developing. Particularly if you plan on attending a tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youll take a hit in the short term but be a far better player in the long term if you write all comers lists and just play whomever shows up.

stinkenheim Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It allows you to learn the limitations of each unit you take and therefore what they can be expected to achieve in any given situation. I do exactly the same with my wolves and used to when I played guard (stopped playing with the new codex). I'd take things I liked and just learn how to use them effectively.
