Shrike infiltrates one unit of Terminators, the Librarian 'gates' another and the 3rd just has to make do with Fleet...
The Scouts either Infiltrate onto objectives and then shoot at stuff or stay in reserve in their Storms and then Steal objectives later on or whatever damn well else they feel like while the Terminators do all the work.
It's fucked over by mobile armies and has trouble with Land Raider spam as well as many other things but I thought it was funny anyway...
Comments, thoughts and addresses of local lunatic asylums are (as usual) most welcome.
Wintastic. Anybody who disagrees is a hater.
ReplyDeleteMy mate took something similar to this to a tournament we did - it was three squads of termies and shrike. One squad had thunder hammers to deal with heavy armour if I recall. Can't remember what else fleshed the list out, but it was pretty difficult to deal with, and people did find the idea of guys in "tactical dreadnaught armour" benefitting from the "fleet of foot" rule to be somewhat ludicrous :oP
ReplyDeleteBut hey, at least it wasn't Vulkan... again :oP
Fritz 40k had a similar list a while ago. http://saimhann.blogspot.com/2010/10/space-marines-first-turn-assault.html
ReplyDeleteSeems like it could be fun, but very one trick pony.
isn't this how flello's raven guard started out?? or a rough aproximation until he found out it lost 80% of games against any one with half a brain?
ReplyDeletei think using it would be fun, even if it wasn't effective
isn't that how all of fello's (bar vampires)armies start out; losing 80% of games?
ReplyDelete@mark too true some, many (ogres especially) stay that way too :p
ReplyDeletemy ogres i've had for 5 years and have a 100% victory rate. 1 game, 1 win, in 5 years yet i love them dearly
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA.... My ravenguard army ownzzzorzz itz pwnz ur ass.
ReplyDeleteWell its pretty good, has weaknesses, but its a good army, and it never ever started with terminators.
As for my ogres... yeah they suck. They can beat up puny empire :)
