Try a few units before the game on Sunday

Skype's fine, I'll write a list in a bit, I'll be bring DE as I have a DE army but I've never actually played it...I've always been a bit more of a painter.

I played fifth quite a bit toward the end of its life but barely touched sixth, I have an idea of a few of the new rules but I'll probably be a bit slow, sorry if it'll be like pulling teeth!

That's fine, teaching people helps me remember the rules

Kitting out Crisis Teams is hard.

Notes for Sunday's game:

He might be taking Crisis Suits

Been reading this thread for a while now and seriously tempted to have a dabble again. Used to play years ago when it was Citadel miniatures (and getting Heroquest, Space Crusade then Space Hulk et'al).

Shamikebab · 7 Jun 2013 at 19:54

Still is, now it's just a brand name for GW though I believe.

I haven't yet seen a Tau player run a list without them...

Shamikebab · 7 Jun 2013 at 19:56

I didn't against Newts and John didn't against me

They have their uses of course but it's perfectly possible to take a list without them now.

Crisis suits rule!

I would still have boned your Blood Angels army that time if you two hadn't quit on me when I went to the loo! I had you all lined up for the kill!

Shamikebab · 7 Jun 2013 at 20:19

I think the giant mass of ~~Blood-crazed~~, ~~Khorne Worshipping~~ , Heroic Blood Angels of the Imperium were seconds away from joining the Greater Good

Suits are easy tbh. New Helios build. 2 x Plasma Rifle and 1 x Fusion Blaster per suit.

Double plasma in rapid fire range with markerlight support destroys everything. Fusion for any vehicle that need to die.

9" melta range and then assault jump to run away is great.

Can only fire 2 weapons per turn but gives you options.

Shamikebab · 7 Jun 2013 at 21:21

Crisis suits can be whatever you want. Pick the rest of your army then find out where you're weak, then fit your Crisis suits out to fill that weakness.

Sounds like an interesting loadout.

There are so many units I want to take, it's not funny!

vincent1989 · 8 Jun 2013 at 07:17

Got my list together

Archon with power sword, soul trap, shadow field 115

4 bloodbrides, 1 with hydra gauntlets, venom with Additional splinter canon 127

5 wyches, venom with additional splinter canon 125

5 wyches, venom with additional splinter canon 125

5 wyches, venom with additional splinter canon 125

5 reavers, cluster caltrops 130

Total 747

Shamikebab · 8 Jun 2013 at 08:39

Blimey, that's a quick army. Probably should have brought some jetbikes to the party!

Shamikebab · 8 Jun 2013 at 10:47

Ok the latest Vassal files are in the dropbox. Install Vassal 3.26 then import the Vassal40k 6th edition module (it's in a RAR called 6thbasic)

vincent1989 · 8 Jun 2013 at 11:18

I thought that was how all dark eldar rolled... In bigger points I'd just swap the venoms out for raiders, max the squads and throw in some ravager support

Shamikebab · 8 Jun 2013 at 11:25

Yeah that's not that dissimilar to what I took last week. We can talk armies after the battle. 6th edition's changes really affected Dark Eldar army choices.

No1newts · 8 Jun 2013 at 20:45

Shami do you have the webbie link for the website whee I can get new army lists for the army list thing? (Battlescribe! That's it!)

Shamikebab · 8 Jun 2013 at 21:24

Yep here http://catalogue.randomhit.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=284&p=1857#p1857

I'm sure you'll all be very happy to learn I lost my first game

6-0 to Dark Eldar (1 objective, slay the warlord, first blood, linebreaker)

It all went wrong.

So much poison fire killed the Wraithlord easily. 4 vehicles that can fire 48 shots a turn at 750 points is just devastating to infantry lists!

Congratulations to Vincent!
