I stopped reading his blog months ago. The thought of splitting 2500 points into 2 1250(ish) lists has been a refreshing way to look at list building, and by extension table play.theirontowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583181738330375416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691621423487058577.post-8773709409251591152012-10-25T09:00:34.083+09:002012-10-25T09:00:34.083+09:00theirontower, Stelek has basically laid out that y...theirontower, Stelek has basically laid out that you need to use Allies to fill in your weaknesses as a codex to remain competitive. I'm probably not going to delving into other codices to try to find combos for efficient allying, though.brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698523053889263665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691621423487058577.post-78962500897562351592012-10-25T04:03:22.434+09:002012-10-25T04:03:22.434+09:00After playing a few 6th ed games and going through...After playing a few 6th ed games and going through the Necron, Grey Knights and Chaos Marine Codex's it really feels like Blood Angels do better as an Allied detachment. Assault just isn't a reliable tactic, armchair Sun Tzu's don't like that much randomness to their tactics. Random outcomes is one thing, random actions are another. <br /><br />I don't mean that to say the Blood Angels are side lined, I'm thinking to split my 2500 pt list into 2 forces, 1250 Blood Angels, 1250 Other, 1 HQ only from each Codex. Really focus's the force, lets you get the best out of both armies. Right now my thought is to mix Necrons and Blood Angels. I like the narrative, Necrons can bring mass shooting to the table and let the BA contingent focus on what its good at. Just gotta keep em away from each other!theirontowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583181738330375416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691621423487058577.post-54735523279283186752012-10-22T08:14:12.130+09:002012-10-22T08:14:12.130+09:00Well, the Death Company Dreadnought should do well...Well, the Death Company Dreadnought should do well. If it has no assault target, it can run and re-roll one or two dice while it can do the same for its assault roll which gains two inches on average. brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698523053889263665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691621423487058577.post-47140505744868378352012-10-20T00:02:37.311+09:002012-10-20T00:02:37.311+09:00Most of the people I play against are surprised at...Most of the people I play against are surprised at just how far away I am able to start my assault moves from... Playing Fleashtearers I run DC and Assault troops, all w/ Jump Packs... usually running a flank, so picking off smaller units and tearing through their lines. Note, while not a jumper, the DC DN is fleet and keeps up nicely with the jumpers...Paul Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800315555473550635noreply@blogger.com
