Seems I'm the only one enjoying Stronghold Assault. Big fan of Firestorm Redoubt. Toss my LFs inside where they can't be targetted from range, add a battle cannon and void shield for cheap, then sit back and let those skimmers/flyers come.

 

Agreed 100%.... The moment stronhold assault came out any flyer issues i had prior to this just went out the window. Helldrakes do nothing, Mass cron air do nothing, Anything from the other side of the table JUST DOES NOTHING! 

 

You really need to explore all options. The firestorm Redoubt is a great tool however expensive at 200 points with no upgrades. I have said in 10 other posts already!! brothers!!! USE THE VOID SHIELD GENERATOR!  As long as you position it so it is not to close to the enemy so they cannot move inside its field when flyers arrive from reserves you are good. If you are playing a large game you take voidshield relay network which is just LOL.  

I prefer to use the wolf priest with saga of the hunter. It's not as powerful, but it is more reliable. The preferred enemy only allows you too re roll ones against one unit type but you don't have to worry about perils of the warp or not passing Pyskic tests. the increased cover save and fearless means your long fangs stick around a lot longer plus it doesn't hurt having a wolf priest invade y our assaulted

Saying that, i think SotH is much better used outflanking plasma death squads msn-wink.gif (but thats just how i like to roll)

I've been too much of a fenris purist for too long. Where do you get "plasma death squads" from? Is this a codex marine ally?

I live in the back woods. Going to my first tourni in few weeks, can't settle on a 1500 list - for ascendency of tau mostly, but all comers...

I think he is referring to out outflanking, tricked up combi plasma wolf guard or you can take 2 plasma guns, a plasma pistol in a grey hunter pack and attached wolf guard with combi plasma and the priest, himself can take either a plasma pistol or combi plasma, so depending on range and if you go for combi or pistols, you looking at 5-9 plasma shots.

aye, i dont take allies either, the way i run plasma death squad is as follows:

10x Grey Hunters, 2xP.gun, 1xP.pistol

Wolf Guard - 2xP.pistol

Wolf Priest (preferred enemy: infantry) - P.Pistol

that way it is a scoring unit that puts out 8 plasma shots and 14 boltgun shots the turn it arrives. With rerolls of 1s (hit and wound) against infantry. If they end up shooting the back of a vehicle, theyre gonna be pretty devastiing to (although a lot more likely to kill themselves due to lack of PE).

I take plasma pistols over combis (if i have the points) as then they can potentially carry on the plasma(ing) in overwatch or subsequent turns.

you, mention void shields...nah!?

hah

in all honesty, they sound awesome, just don't have the cash to splurge out on the supplement

I use the Firestorm Redoubt. The firepoint on it allows for 6 models to shoot out of it which is begging for Long Fangs and a Rune Priest to sit in there. Generally i use the quad lascannons, but I have interchanged 1 of them the Punisher cannon which works real nice to. Give the Redoubt the BS upgrade and a Void Shield and you will be sitting pretty.

It really depends on how many fliers you are anticipating dealing with and what type.  Firestorm Redoubt looks pretty awesome (and I probably should have one instead of the pitiful Aegis/Lascannon) for dealing with fliers as I prefer lascannons to quad auto cannons.  Other options would be the Hyperios Missile Battery (build your own,) a StormEagle or FireRaptor (I made my own and it can play as either, but I am preferring the Fire Raptor), and can always toss in a Rifleman Dread if you want something more mobile.

The bastion with LF ( armed with 3 RL 1 LC, 1 MM) a Runepriest and a WGTDA with RL is a very good solution to my Helldrake problem. I put a relay on top and keep them inside. The force shield is a must. Give em a cheap lamp in case of night fighting. Thanks for posting this.
