I always believed in that Land Raider tactic.

[fckndisturbed]

Great game I'm so happy my friend can't afford Eldar jetbikes yet.

[dylonnigh]

[cjpendleton1993]

Has Brother captain James got a blog?

[EldarWarhost]

YAY ASPECT WARRIORS..........its to bad they died: (

[devastator06]

damn i wanted you to vid you puting them there and hear him go "wtf, can you do that? damn it they are annoying" well something like that. good game though

[cadiansftw05]

awsome, you play jetbike/mech eldar really well, fun to watch.

[WayOfSaimHann]

Thanks man!

[openthewell]

Great game, i really enjoy watching these.

[xdeox19]

what would boxing in his land raider do? Otherwise great game.

[WayOfSaimHann]

Precent it from contesting, moving, or getting guys ou if they were still in there. Can't break out by ramming since it is surrounded by skimmers.

[xXJetwiiXx]

Way better sport than bert!

[CommanderTossboll]

It isn't really that hard to way better than Bert xD

[xXJetwiiXx]

That's true. Sorry for comparing you to bert James!

[hardrockfreak1337]

Is that the same board that killed rakermatt1's oblitorator's?

[WayOfSaimHann]

Same one! That really messed up his army!

[thecakewuzalie]

When will you be able to play some kill points? ...Perhaps some harelquins require that hmm?

[WayOfSaimHann]

I need a kill point mission! All I have been playing is loot counters...

[weavile124]

Why did you delete the video of you owning bert ?.

[Rincewindlolzor]

Quick thing, You can choose NOT to sweeping advance. Its not optional. Also, jetbikes cant rapid fire...they are assault 2 :P

[cybersaber101]

uh oh the dreaded wobley table

[flapjack5454]

real good game guys. Fritz ur games never fail to entertain.

[519MT519]

[darthd95]

[gunnerpig]

u shud do batreps with u vs nids , havn't seen any vids of yas , apart frm that other stupid vid with only pics from u

[WayOfSaimHann]

These days nobody at the club plays nids.

[Number1GamerAsh]

BANSHEE BOMB!!!

[RetributionAngel]

you should have used the banshes for counter assault...against those sterngaurd

but they don´t really suit into your army

[Locbot]

I hate the rule where if you fail your leadership and fall back but your surrounded you die.

[johnkerry7]

dont think of it as dying, think of it as since you failed the leadership your troops surrendered.

[duje44]

Always use banshee exarch with executioner ,because its a str 5 power weapon,and really its a only reliable killing instrument for banshees against marines.

What other members kill is really just a bonus.

Also i strongly recommend using striking scorps over banshees,for couple of reasons,all have str 4 and power armor,and are basically assault marines with extra attack and t3,and you can infiltrate or outflank,and are excelent for killing trenched up devastators and other high priority targets.

[duje44]

also their advantage is that they are not dependent on transports as shees,however you can still outflank with then in wave serpent,but basically i use them as late game assassination troop and/or contesters without WS

[duje44]

Another fun alternative for your list would be swooping hawks loaded with haywires with autarch(fusion gun,wings)attached to them,and u drop WS+shees.

Autarch gives master strategist which means they are guarantied to jump in every time(and bonus to your others reserves too),and are excellent tank hunters,give large blast temp. every time they jump,and excelent late game contestants

[chriso119]

Very true but banshees have there advantages, scorpions donthave power weapons- banshees do, u might need a transport for the banshees but thats more firepower and the swooping hawks, they're cool in the game

[duje44]

yes banshees have power weapon,but scorps 10 of them with exarch(PC) when out flanking(i usually out flank them in 4th or 5th turn,usually start at 4th,but if i fail then 5th) come with 9 pistol shots+2 cata shots and 36 str 4 attacks and 4 powerfist attack,and that will wipe any almost unit,and especially troop choices sitting on objective

[duje44]

just to if he drop that WS and shees he would just about have points for 10 of them

[duje44]

1 thing more,lol, when placing objectives make sure u put yours on both their sides so u make sure that outflanking cannot fail by bad roll

[chriso119]

Yes that is true that is very true thet you do get a little more attacks but as i've said before they're not POWER WEAPONS!!! and if you had a squad of 10 banshees w/exarcha nd executioner plus you put an autarch on the charge thats at least 39 attacks 10 at strenght 3 3 at strength 5 and 5 at strenght 4 so you would wipe anything out plus with the falcon or wave serpent you can wipe out most of the units in a turn

[duje44]

hello!!, exarch has power claw,but it really doesent matter you can go for biting blade for anti tank,also in his list he wouldnt have points for autarch and 10 banshees,and besides even if he had,footsloging banshees dont work ,and would be ripped apart before the touch anything

[chriso119]

Yes he has a power claw and yes he can be anti tank but the rest of the group DON'T have freakin power weapons and versing space marines (which is what most people play it doesnt work that well) and yes they may get extra attacks and may have a etter armour save but some of the howling banshee exarches powers are coola dn so are the stricking scorpions, but i would choose hb over ss cause most people dont take ss in transport and that transport could be crucial!

[duje44]

problem with banshees with your list and tactic,is that u must T.boost your WS 1st turn into middle of enemy so they can keep up with SC,and that will cost you WS most of the time(and few shees with it)its really risky tactic with iffy payout.

As i said before scorps are way better than shees for couple of resons:

-dont rely on transport

-can outflank which you can use for offensive and defensive reasons(killing enemy which are contesting your obj)

-bring huge burst when they come in

[duje44]

-with that much attacks and wounding enemy will fail armor saves

-goes well with fritz trickery,enemy is nervous all the time coz they know they will be outflanked,which will make them spread out forces a bit to defend the outflank,and that leaves more room for rest of your army to operate

-more staying power than banshees

[chriso119]

That is true and the 2 aspect wariiors are good in different ways but i think banshees anre better, but scorpions are pretty good to.

[WAYofCHAOS9]

deffintaly

[RetributionAngel]

power weapons are over rated

strenght is still the same + most units in 40k have bad armour anyhow

[HappyPariah]

They sure do wonders against low number, high save elites though. Makes assault termies into 4+ save assault marines. Definately, a powerfist is in most cases better. The double strength is almost always enough to give you the 2+ to wound. But if you are trying to save points power weapons are a good way to drop 10-15 points per squad and reduce it's assault power minimally.

[RetributionAngel]

a chainsword is just as good...caus most models have invulvs or they have armour 6+

i used to run 20 powerclaw termis... i sold them on ebay...becaus 20 orks (6 point orks) owned them up in two turns

power weapons aint worth the points on models with 3- A

[HappyPariah]

Yes, but most invuls are 5 or 6+. So you can effectively turn terminators into beefy IG at a lower cost than powerfists. However, I am not saying that power weapons are better than power fists, simply that they are viable equipment. Also, your scenario ludicrous, and obviously a severe fluke. You must have rolled abysmally poor and your opponent must have had some loaded dice.

And what models other than orks or cannon fodder have 6+ saves? I would say the most common save is 5+.

[RetributionAngel]

they only rock against high armour units

you are always better of buying more models than trying to equip a smal unit op.

[HappyPariah]

I was saying, they are a reasonable alternative to powerfists. If you have a squad sergeant nine times out of ten you will want to give him something special. However, if you need to conserve an extra fifteen or twenty points for a necessary vehicle upgrade, or daemonic power, or what have you, power weapons are still good.

[AutarchAndrew]

it totally works the boxin tatic oh have you ever tried it with jetbikes basic jetbikes maxed out there a land raider thing with turbo bosted bikes and the prism combo

[heller205]
