That's an interesting thought process...@Yermom<br /><br />That's an interesting thought process; using Fateweaver as a bait or meat shield for the first round of shooting. Since the Fiends are so fast, they would be in assault range after one turn. The concept is better than Fateweaver + Crushers, because we don't expect Fateweaver live long enough, yet, buy you the 1 turn that you needed for the Fiends.<br /><br />However, let's talk about the list overall. So in general, people run 4 or more vehicles in 1750 pts. If you are going to rely on the Fiends as your anti tanks, good luck. On top of that, you don't have a real answer to land raider either even the land raider + deathstar is falling out of favorite. Let say we use your Fiends to punch tanks, if they have a good round of shooting at your Fiends, you aren't hitting them at full force. That being said, I'm still a fan of some range anti tank.<br /><br />I do agree with you as regarding the Skulltaker issue; it's cute, it's fluffy, and it's slow, so it have no place in your list.<br /><br />Good luck in NOVA, I am happy to see you taking Daemon and I hope you do well.alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404149320152766676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299516654490674445.post-88912761019608514142011-07-01T11:51:31.202-07:002011-07-01T11:51:31.202-07:00I should say I have no doubts that you'll make...I should say I have no doubts that you'll make your list work. You make units work that I can't, and against better players to boot.<br /><br />So with these 10 units, how does the list typically get split? I'm envisioning something like preferred wave of Fateweaver, x2 Fiends, Seekers and x1 Bloodletters with Icon. Fateweaver, because he's the lynchpin, the Fiends because they hit the hardest and the Seekers because that squad is huge and needs the room for Deep Striking. It seems like a very top-heavy division though, with the second wave being x1 Fiends and the rest being lean Troops choices.<br /><br />What I do picture for Fateweaver is after he protects the Fiends long enough to get them into assault, he can fly over to aid the Seekers. They'll be a nice complement to each other, each big investments, but no distinct target between the two.<br /><br />I've got a 2000 point tournament coming up in a few weeks, and I'm entertaining the idea of Skulltaker, a Herald and 4 Juggernauts all showing up together in one unit. (I still need the crutch of a 3+ armor save! :P ) That way I can squeeze in two units of Fiends, but have a unit in front of them in the Crushers big enough to provide a cover screen.Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245451939976361103noreply@blogger.com
