Riptides are monstrous creatures and do smash with 3 auto-penning hits. keep in mind that an Onager gauntlet is pretty much an auto include. 5 pts for a power fist that is AP 1 and strikes at initiative on a tau isnt shabby. Also for the Farsight players, fusion blades should be considered as well. almost every army has the capacity to take them on. Tau maybe more so than most, we have an ass ton of shots at strength 7 (if you are doing it right) and we have monstrous creatures and plenty of meltas. rear armor isnt hard to smack with tau.MrPeanutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165211622183051174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534422956002875826.post-83347336493241257362013-10-03T07:15:41.145-04:002013-10-03T07:15:41.145-04:00And the apothecary with a bolter in the command sq...And the apothecary with a bolter in the command squad ensures that the flamers have an effective 24" kill range.

That being said I think the best way to do it is Marine with Wolf allies or visa versa. Completely reasonable to take the strengths of both books and make an absolutely brutal drop pod force.

Do you really think they can be a better drop force than the wolves though? I think the wolves cheaper combi's, rune priests, and relentless long fangs are pretty radical.

I have a few options for scoring; the plague bearers usually deep strike in, I have options for a portal glyph and don't for forget that BBQ wagon is scoring. Also in Big Guns my DPs are scoring.<br /><br />The bastion serves two purposes: LoS blocker for my princes if I don't get first, it's also the home for my PBS to keep them safe (relatively) although I can't shoot out of the fire points I can use my powers off the top so I usually move them up first turn. I can also not blob and throw a unit in there while the rest go up and move them onto a.

This article demands a follow up / part 2.<br /><br />1) What do you think of the Assault Centurions? I've been hearing VERY mixed things about them. People that seem to really know what they're doing like them a lot, people that have a general understanding of the game seem to think they suck.<br /><br />2) How do you like the new tanks? Do they have any use as they stand now? I've heard they're really cheap, are they cheap enough to take in an effort to blast FMCs, Helldrakes, Necron flyers, Waveserpents, and the likely rise in popularity of Landspeeders and Stormravens?<br /><br />3) Sternguard got a lot of love over the week I took preorders and continue to be the best seller after release. I've heard nothing but great things about the kit and the rules. What's your take on them? Do they fit into any of the lists you think might do well?<br /><br />4) Vanguard? They don't seem to be super popular and I'm pretty sure I've only sold kits to Templar players. The models look awesome, but I wonder if they have a legitimate place in tournament type lists...<br /><br />5) You left us without an overall opinion on the codex as a whole! We definitely need a part 2!!<br /><br />Bonus Round) I'm sure I'm not alone when I wonder what new Space Marine lists look like. I'm not sure you want to get into posting all sorts of lists, but I think it would be especially cool and beneficial if you could post up what you think a solid list might look like for each chapter.<br /><br />So yeah... 2 more blog articles, please!<br /><br />-Chasenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723204217027422336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534422956002875826.post-2743102756792158432013-09-11T23:46:44.566-04:002013-09-11T23:46:44.566-04:00I agree with what he has said a lot.

His downside being having to take the one use Ultramarine tactics with him but they're not that bad.<br /><br />I'm wanting to try out the Centurions, but unless you're planning on hiding them in a bastion or in ruins for defense you need a Land Raider or Storm Raven to get them within 24 inches of what you want dead as unfortunately they can't take a drop pod (that would be SOO good) 250 points for 15 AP2 shots, re-rolling to wound and being able to glance a LR to death has potential i want to test out.PhoenixFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948764681829392247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534422956002875826.post-48382782534537639102013-09-04T22:37:19.184-04:002013-09-04T22:37:19.184-04:00Very, very cool.

This is Steve I met you at connecticon and hung around a little talking about thudd guns at nova. <br /><br />And I 100% agree I don't understand how anyone could say the seer/screamer stars are anything but a gimmick. If your relying on a single random spell and don't get it your toast that to me is the definition of gimmick haha.<br /><br />One of these days I'd love to get a game in against you as I'm trying to up my competitive game.

To be honest with ...Thanks for the comments Chase,<br /><br />To be honest with how net list heavy the NOVA tends to be I expected to play about 2/3 of my games against Tau/Eldar in some form and the other 1/3 vs. daemons and other stuff. Last year was very cron air heavy so with 3 hot books being out this year I expected nothing but those armies. <br /><br />Like i said my issues were a combination of not having the right tools to punish daemons in the air, my opponents making ungodly amounts of grounding checks, and a couple errors on my part in my 2nd game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08399937600710882065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534422956002875826.post-51704598127216578352013-09-02T22:33:36.092-04:002013-09-02T22:33:36.092-04:00Thanks for the recap, Bill.

If you had to say, what would you have guessed to play against and what percentage of the time would you expect to see it? You obviously prepped for a Tau and Eldar heavy metagame. Did you expect to see it 50+% of the time? How about FMC lists?<br /><br />Also, I don't think I'm alone when I say that I'd love to hear your take on the Tau and Eldar lists that made up so much of the field. How do they work? How should people approach them? Are they gimmicky or are they the real deal?<br /><br />-Chasenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723204217027422336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534422956002875826.post-32394492029092206202013-09-02T21:33:25.435-04:002013-09-02T21:33:25.435-04:00Grats to you as well Mr. Souza it was an impressiv...Grats to you as well Mr. Souza it was an impressive run.

Venoms and Witchblades don't care about that T8 DP.<br /><br />What makes that such an oddity is that I only played against one Eldar, one Tau-Dar, and one Tau-Cron all tourney.
