Miniwargaming's BT Batrep got me thinking

So this got me thinking.

We can take 5 man squads with 2 powerfists, we can fit two of these in a drop pod. Total point cost: 213

Has anyone run a list that just spams a ton of these 213 point pods? Most things don't like getting hit by powerfists.

Is it stupid? Yes
Is it effective? Unlikely

But is it hilarious? Definitely.

Sometimes the enemies of the imperium are just insistin on a fistin.

I have the models for this, so I may give it a shot before 9th drops. Have any of you already tried it?

One game I played 9 Crusadersquads of 5 in Rhinos - all equiped with power fists / hammers.

But I won the game because of my squad of 10 Vanguards

Sound hilarious.

Fist your oppnonent to death 

 

Way back in 4th or 5th ed. I won a local tournament with a black tide, all walking angry marines, while the meta was tanks. I had more models than the orc players...

Everyone that could wield a pwr sword did so.

It was great.

 

Go for it.

what is even more important. GW told in a stream about reserves can come  within  1" in your own deploymentzone.

Funny If you take back 2x5 man which would cost 166 at the moment for 10 power fist attacks

Now the question would be do you wait until turn 3 and hide otherwise? Or go in turn one with 0 ap chainswords

[Medjugorje]

hold back a few units to save your deployment zone is not a bad idea I think.

I was pointing it out using a 7 drop pod list. 

Unfortunately I don't have enough power fist sarges to try it (I am a stickler for wysiwyg) but I could probably make some, lord knows I have the bits.
