hopkins Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 anybody got some solid input on troop choices for objective secured when using the mission cards? i'm guessing mobile, so plague marines in rhinos for getting forward? with a small squad or 2 of cultists for backfield, or just camp the heavy stuff on them, and shoot off any enemy troops that come near?

Aasfresser Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I had a game with standard eternal war missions, but I had a surprisingly pleasant experience with empty rhinos. I bought them for my Thousand Sons and kept them empty in the backfield until round 5. Thanks to the new damage chart they took some punishment and thanks to objective secured they won me the game. So, I think it's woth to spend the extra 35 p for a Rhino with OS, even when they just stand around doing nothing but blocking line of sight. In a Maelstorm Mission 12" movement + the extra movement in the shooting phase is still very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Drake Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Anything that can react quickly because you never know what objective you might get. Tbh I don't think we have much choice, though if you play aggressive having a unit in your enemies deployment area (or within 12" of their board edge) is handy.

Clone Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Deep striking Daemons. Daemonettes have a d6+3 inch run. Other than that csm in a rhino. Is it only troops that score in maelstrom of war missions? Or is that they have objective secured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a battle on Friday using the tactical objectives for the first time. I'm planning on running bikes, spawn, raptors and my knight for quick grabs at undefended/lightly defended objectives with the bulk of my troops in rhinos. What could be useful is taking huron and infiltrating straight onto objectives that are far away from your deployment. This way you can threaten your enemy table have with objective secured units or hold in position in the hopes that the midfield objectives become active. Back them up with fast moving units and use show heavy units to sit on home objectives and pour fire onto the enemy. Noise marines could do well with this as blastmasters ignore cover and you can make them troops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ally demons are the good [as in troops and fast , because of summoning] scoring unit for an army that is using the csm codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
