seethe Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Fought a buddy's Nids at 1850. Told him he should spammed flyrants but he didn't listen. His list was something like Swarm lord Tervigon Gaunt blob Skytyrant formation (gargoyles and melee flyrant) Devilgaunts in drop Pod. Venom thropes for cover saves 3xcarnifex I used Chappy on bike IChappy with jump pack Assault squad 2x flamers Devastator 2x Grav 2x Plasma in drop Pod 3x5 tac marines with Flakk missiles Dreadnought with twin Autocannon Ravenwing bikers with attack bike and speeder. Support squadron with vengeance. All speeders had assault cannons and heavy bolters. There wasn't much to it. By turn 2 he scooped. The support squad literally deleted the carnifex the turn they attempted to charge. Between devistators and the support squad same thing happened to his sky tyrant formation. Rolled strategic warlord table and was able to infiltrate marines onto objectives. I knew the overwatch was going to be strong but I didn't lose a single model and had him down to his swarm Lord and a Tervigon by the end of turn 2. I'll definitely give this a few more playthroughs before I pass find judgement but initially I am more than impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Been playing some hard games at the weekend and the Support formation has been a real star The 1st question you get is "It can overwatch from how Far at BS2 ?" The 2nd is Interceptor ? your having a laugh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seethe Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I used the lone speeder frome the bike unit (combat squadded) as charge bait since the melta didn't have vehicles to shoot at. He played right but that support squadron puts out so many freaking shots. Will probably roll shroud next game...am not sold on the plasma shots really.

SvenONE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Well if memory serves me, a support squad would fire its overwatch at full BS (when a RW unit is being charged ofc) in a lions blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seethe Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 That is how I understand and play it. It is terrible for an assault army. The vanilla bikes and lone speeder were just bait. Bikes hit and ran and I used the support squad on the most threatening unit. I never initiated an assault so that I could take advantage of all the free shots.
