Need help getting to know my enemy.

[Derpcron]

Hi.

 

I would like to have some info on my oponents in an upcoming local store tournament.

Can you guys give me tips on which units are the most dangerous and should be focused by me.

What are the most dangerous combo's they can do?

For example use stratagem to move away from combat, resulting in my unit not being able to fight if i fight another unit first.

Or character/unit combo's.

 

Thanks in advance!

This list is very odd to me based on unit upgrades as I'm not a fan of plasma pistols at all.  It's not STATs or tricks that I would worry about.  It's that he will have a ton of attacks and get to use them quickly in cc when he can not be shot at anymore.   

 

The wuflen, jumpack wolfguard and thuderwolves are the most dangerous elements, and he will likely be in your face no later than turn 2 with them.  His Rune Priest with Jumppack is a good pick.  Captain is weirdly build for a Space Wolf.  The Skyclaws and Bloodclaws will be taking objectives mid-table and can if needed fight above their weight.    

 

What are you bringing?  If you are playing a shooty list screen out and stay out of combat with your killing MEQ efficient firepower.  If you have a combat list weaken the above mentioned threats before you engage them and punch it out.  If you have a mix style list use the shooting to soften them up and then combat to hold them in place for as long as you can which unfortunately may be for just a turn.  As said before he will hit you like a train in cc, but looking at the list he brought the shooting that really isn't good so they will just be objective takers so it may be worth killing them off to make his cc need to hold objectives instead.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm playing Necrons.

I have a balanced list between shooting and melee with C'tan shard of the nightbringer.

Go discuss possible tactics down in the Necrons section then.  You should not be spamming this kind of Tactics request amongst all the other forums because you are attempting to get a leg up on your tournament opponents by having other people instruct you on how to play the game.
