The 2 rear guard troops will ideally only have LOS to the unit they intend to ses, but their shooting is such a small part of the army that if they screw up I won't be too sad.<br /><br />The Terminators are base LD9, and one unit will get the EC, which is 10. that gives them a good chance of shooting at what they want. Additionally, since the terminators can move and fire, you can usually arrange it so that they can only see a single unit.<br /><br />2. Threat bubble essentially. They keep the enemy from being able to move forward as fast as possible which protects my terminators. You can't ignore them, but individually they aren't significant.<br /><br />3. Depends. If I have first turn I will usually deploy that way. If I'm going second, and up against a list with good long range shooting, I will use them as an AV13 wall to protect my other stuff.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-43574426897265099832012-06-17T16:59:56.629-04:002012-06-17T16:59:56.629-04:00Mech Saturation.

Without a Castellan or Marshal, you have 8 units of BT Infantries (2 ELITE and 6 TROOP) that will suffer from the "Kill Them ALL" rule.<br /><br />a. Do you pass most of your leadership checks for "Kill them all"?<br /><br />b. Or do you tend to actually shoot the nearest available enemy?<br /><br /><br />2. With 4 units of TROOP with Multimelta - i take it that they usually just cruise during Turn 1 or maybe even Turn 2 and only gets to shoot at Turn 3 with a decent chance to miss (happens to me all the time). So do these 4 MM units score many hits or they tend to scare more than kill?<br /><br />3. As for the 2 PRED - I presume that you park 1 at each rear corner of the board and they just sit still and shoot till they get busted?Wolfmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450309633276418842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-78759940701881890422012-03-06T12:35:58.704-05:002012-03-06T12:35:58.704-05:00They are garbage, tremendous waste of points. The...They are garbage, tremendous waste of points. The best case scenario you get to threaten one unit per turn, and there is too high a chance that the shot will do nothing. Maybe in some alternate universe where people run foot armies and don't get cover saves.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-42220596311663678322012-03-06T08:23:48.907-05:002012-03-06T08:23:48.907-05:00Hi, a little irrelevant but what's your though...Hi, a little irrelevant but what's your thoughts on PoTMS vindicators?Matt Pepperdinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089949433008550953noreply@blogger.com
