Necron Strategy/Tactics/My Thoughts Part 1

Posted on March 18, 2012 09:45 pm by Lukas

NecronsI’d like to shine light on a more balanced approach to Necron lists. A sort of all comers list if you will. While the Scarab Farm is godlike against many armies, something like Tyranids manage to laugh at it, or most horde armies in general could probably take the assault easily enough.  Read more...

Orks – Tankbustas

Posted on May 10, 2010 02:41 pm by Thor

TankbustasWhen the latest Ork codex came out there were a ton of Ork players who quickly dismissed Tankbustas on account of the glory hog special rule. The rule states that a Tankbusta must shoot at a vehicle if it can see one and assault a vehicle if it can see one. Yes, I said assault a vehicle if it can see one, so you park a Rhino 20″ away then the Tankbustas will attempt to assault it. The rule is like a modified version of rage.  Read more...

Orks – ‘ard Boyz Tactica

Posted on April 2, 2010 09:45 am by Thor

Ork 'ard BoyzAn ‘ard Boy costs 4pts more than a normal Boy, which is a pretty significant price increase. For every 3 ‘ard Boyz you buy you could have 2 more normal Boyz, IE: 3 ‘ard Boyz or 5 regular Boyz. So, is the 4+ save worth the big price increase? In my opinion, yes they are worth it, you just can’t use them like you would normal Boyz or you’re going to waste your points and then they won’t be worth it.  Read more...

Orks – Stormboyz Overview

Posted on April 2, 2010 09:44 am by Thor

At a Glance
One of the first things you’ll notice is a Stormboy is twice the cost of a normal Boy and wonder if there’s justification to that cost. I feel they are worth every point if they are used appropriately. Stormboyz are normal Boyz with rokkit packs, so they have the same 6+ save and stats. This means you can’t just throw them at your opponent, you need to be selective in who they attack and when. I feel any list, be it KoS (Kult of Speed), footsloggers, mekanized, etc., can benefit from this unit as I’ll explain.  Read more... (945 words, 1 image, estimated 3:47 mins reading time)

Legion of the Damned

Posted on February 4, 2010 01:08 pm by Thor

Legion of the DamnedIt seems everyone loves Legion of the Damned (LoD), for their fluff but many have reservations about fielding them. Many argue that for the points you get more use out of Sternguard. Being someone who also enjoys their fluff and loves the new models for them, well I had to give them a shot. Now, when I write tacticas they aren’t written to tell you how to use something, instead they are generally more my experience with a unit and my thoughts. I’ll never claim to know the absolute best way to do anything but I do enjoy sharing my views.  Read more... (796 words, 1 image, estimated 3:11 mins reading time)
