march10k Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 True...offset by being total garbage in melee, and only toughness 3 with 5+ armor as standard, so even the pitiful shooting that our enemies victims can produce is pretty deadly.

Father Mehman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 We do put the "gun" in "Gun Lines" ! Give us enough time and we'll kill Terminators with our lasguns.

CoffeeGrunt Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Guard do shooting in Quantity, whereas Tau fill the Quality bracket, (as well as Eldar.) Guard can put out a lot of firepower on the cheap if you build them right, but said firepower will often be inaccurate, fragile, or both.

True, it's not like BS3 is so awesome, but hey, who needs a high BS when you can pieplate a full quarter the board each turn :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308513-kings-of-shooting/#findComment-4066362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Guard is all about putting the numbers in fire power. Drown the enemy in dice so they're stuck in a war of attrition; it doesn't matter how big or tough you are as enough dice get through anything ;) Of course it also helps that we have some of the biggest guns too, so we already slice through armour with ease. Then it's just a matter of throwing lots of dice to make sure the job is done properly :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308513-kings-of-shooting/#findComment-4066396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
