Butters Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I regularly play a guy at my local shop who uses a Dark Angels Gunline at 2000 pts. He runs several predators with a bunch of lascannons, 2 dev squads all plasma, and a large terminator squad with an HQ (usually Azreal). Also he ALWAYS has an Ageis defense line that he rings in his troops at the very edge of the table. Normally I win on just victory points alone because he never moves for the objectives. Also I drop pod Sterngaurd and Tigurius for the first blood almost every game. Though I win most of the time it is usually at the cost of almost all of my army save for the units holding victory points. What could I do differently? Him: 3 predators with all lascannons 2 devs with all plasma 10 man terminator with an HQ Aegis Defense Line ...other crap. Me: 9 man Sterngaurd with Tigurius and Drop pod 3x 10 man tacs with Multimeltas and drop pods to try and kill tanks. Stormraven 2x Storm Talons. He rings his forces in on the back line and just sits there. No tactics at all just sits and shoots. The problem is that he is at the edge of the board meaning that I cannot drop pod behind him and am usually stuck out in front to safely drop pod. I was wondering if I should use a large force of Assault terminators deepstriking on a locator beacon to wipe him out? Or something like that.

Cornelias Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 drop your tactical pods empty to block line of sight to part of his force and give cover for your advancing units if need be, if he's "castled" his forces you need some templates of your own to bring down on him, a vindi or 2 wouldn't go amiss tbh if you have access to them.

Butters Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 ah vindicators are now barrage. I never thought of that. Good idea. I believe that you can shoot through a drop pod as long as it can be seen through right?

Cornelias Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 but it's up to you if you drop the doors down or not :) If they are empty there is no need as troops wouldn't be disembarking.

Terrified Templar Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Vindicators don't have barrage, sorry. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288649-anti-gunline-dark-angels/#findComment-3635047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 sorry I ment ordnance. Or whatever doesnt require line of sight. So I could theoretically drop like 10 drop pods right in front of him and as long as they have Locator beacons they could just form a wall haha great stuff Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288649-anti-gunline-dark-angels/#findComment-3635707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
