Castellan Blackmane Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm thinking about bringing 2 NDKs in a 1500 list... does this make me that guy? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukov Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 No it doesn't, I'd field 3 if I had to play at that points level. They're a super fun unit to play with! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4076295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I suppose it depends on what your group's perception of MCs/NDKs are? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4076296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 'That guy' isn't you. GK aren't even remotely OP. Even the 6x DK list has flaws to be exploited. If people wanna moan about DK, explain to them what Riptides or Wraithknights do. Watch their minds expand.

jeffersonian000 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I field 2 NDK at 1500 points. And at 1850. I own 2. SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4076336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I almost always use 2. They're more cost effective than 5 kitted out terminators. Although to be honest, even if the terminators were actually more bang for your buck, id still probably use 2. They're just cool.

Rurik the blessed Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If you want to be "That" guy... just field 2 NSF with 4 NDKs, or even better, a CAD + NSF with 5 NDKs... sweet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4076751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I own 2 NDK. And I 'count-as' in a couple of flying oval bases anytime I fancy using more than two. I'm not that guy. ;) Neither will you be! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4076797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 CONTEXT my friend. If you are playing anything remotely competitive: no.If you are playing your friends ultimate fluffbunny list, it might be.2 NDKs would be amazing vs for example an all cultist army (yes, it’s silly, but this is an example to show a possible context where it might be an impossible counter).I mean it’s obviously OP until your friend brings a couple melta/grav/plasma/las/lance/tarpit/destroyer/instant death units.

jeffersonian000 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I just bring in my Errant when I think I might need more than two NDKs ... because I am That Guy. : ( SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4077026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rurik the blessed Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well, i can't deny that sometimes it is a pleasure to be That guy... specially with an army like. 3 NDKs Knight Errant Storm Wing formation.

I just nerdgasmed. SJ Okay, now you're definitely 'that guy'. Seriously though the NDKs are nearly mandatory. I say 'nearly' because I guess you could be playing a 'themed' game, but otherwise I think minimum 2. Don't forget as each codex comes out, these units are under even more pressure to take more of the weight in your games. They are good, and if you are playing against new players or someone that has no idea what they do, then yes it can be off putting. But this is no different than getting hit by a bunch of Grav for the first time, or a D weapon. It's part of the game. Conversely you could just be 'that OTHER guy', who brings zero NDK's and fills his heavies with Purg squads and basically rolls over and dies. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308945-am-i-going-to-become-that-guy/#findComment-4077069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Conversely you could just be 'that OTHER guy', who brings zero NDK's and fills his heavies with Purg squads and basically rolls over and dies. I was 'that guy' for the lifespan of the Daemonhunter Codex. Hell, even facing nothing but Marines using 6 10 man Tac Squads (and sundry) made me 'that other guy'. :'( Then when the Ward Dex hit, I became 'that guy' proper. Edit: Well, Coteaz is within 12" of your WWP. And yup, he's attached to a 10 man Paladin Squad with 4 Psycannons and Prescience. What's that? You entire army has been vaped as they walk on? Oh.
