The only reason I did it with sub-tiers is I didn't want to make people think that Bloodcrushers or Beastmasters weren't top notch dedicated close combat units. <br /><br />You can build lists around either of them that are relient on their close combat ability to win, and generally not worry about it short of running into a ton of TH/SS terminators. That can't be said for the units I listed in Tier 2. If you try to build a CC assault list out of tier 2 units, you won't be going too far. But you can do it with 1a units.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-45277424657987509972011-04-09T17:47:02.400-04:002011-04-09T17:47:02.400-04:00I like the tier idea but I'd consider taking o...I like the tier idea but I'd consider taking out the #a tiers and just making it linear 1, 2, 3, etc...<br /><br />It would be interesting to matrix these out according to the categories you named, i.e. low initiative, low durability, etc..Ghostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612442936351544336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-24313170680466479272011-04-09T10:56:56.135-04:002011-04-09T10:56:56.135-04:00Hmmm.

Boyz would die by the dozens From Cleansing flames even if they manage to charge after all that shooting they will get. Even Nob Bikers would die horribly if they charge a unit that can pull off Hammerhand and activate the Force Weapons. That could kill them outright before even they get to strike a single hit. <br />So yeah, Orks are supposed to be a CC army and still die horribly to Purifiers. And they are supposed to be a shooty unit? Go figure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142379276012984189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-37846386703974006212011-04-08T09:05:40.569-04:002011-04-08T09:05:40.569-04:00Amen. and then some. the GK Purifiers + BT doodz w...Amen. and then some. the GK Purifiers + BT doodz with power weapon & EC= DEATH up close. that's all.Loquacioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667591498679385934noreply@blogger.com
