Xenith Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well...what kind of help do you want? List or tactics? Your army lacks long range anti tank to deal with the barge and ark. The deathmarks will nuke one squad, then you have to focus fire and wipe them out so they don't do it again. Be'lakor should be puppet mastering the annihilation barge every turn. I don't see why you're having so much trouble, really. The opponent has little to deal with forge fiends and helldrakes beyond the anni barge. He also appears to have more stuff than you. How many points? I make his around 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever help you can give is greatly appreciated. Normally he glances the drakes out of the sky with gauss shots and glances the fiends to death with the ghost ark and occupants. I do tend to have trouble with the vehicles which always pose a real threat, but normally Belakor and the Fordgefiends can work with my melta squads to destroy any real problem.

Xenith Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'd probably drop one of the CSM squads and the brute for 3x obliterators, mark of nurgle, for some longe range lascannons.<br /><br />Plasma cannons can punish him if he bunches those big warrior squads, and their assault cannons will punish him if he doesnt.

Smurfalypse Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Remake your army into a rush close combat oriented force and you will drop him like nothing :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Remember, Mindshackle scarabs can only be used if the bearer is in B2B contact with a model at the beginning of the fight phase. If he has to pile in, or has a model pile into him before being in B2B, then the scarabs cannot be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it is a RANDOM model in base to base, so you want to try and get as many people next to that as you cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 not a single AB. interesting . List is too slow to survive concentrated daka . fewer csm , more kill units . Belkors, mace dps , bikers and nurgle biker lords . oblits >other hvy support choices . dreads taken only , if hellcult formation is taken . BL is only for hard core BL fluff players at all other times use the CS codex with either csm ally or demon ally . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I see lots of troops of that Necron player who are to run around in the open (at least 50 warriors), might be time to bust out those Defilers as there pieplates might get an easy hit on those big units. Maybe add a big unit of cultists with mark of Tzeentch to the mix and you can even protect your Defiler from any teleporting trickery, 35 of them are actually dirt cheap, and they get an invul save almost for free.

HJL Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Im not sure i agree with marked cultists. It is almost always better to take them unmarked. more bodies beats crappy inv save every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
