Tactics Corner
- Blood Angels are going to make a splash in the competitive scene.
- Don’t overly concentrate on character support at the expense of not enough bodies and CP unless you are going for a Hero Hammer style army.
- Focus on 1-2 hammer units that will absorb most of your support, and the rest of your army helps them do their thing and focuses on winning missions.
- Further tactical discussion.
Completed Commissions
Looking forward to seeing the Dark Angels, i have a whole bunch of marines and dark angels built up lying around unpainted from a battle company i started at the end of 7th that im looking to start working on. I could do them as regular marines (Bobby G + gunline) but that seems extremely boring. Hopefully the DA codex gives me a reason to get working on some black knights and dark shrouds again!
They play in a very unique style, it’s different than the other Marines, IMO.
Congratulations on hitting that monumental milestone Frontline! I can’t wait for the event. It almost seems like you guys may need more space in 2019!
Thank you very much!
great show as always!
Thanks, buddy!
The problem with conscripts is that they’re completelly outclassed by Infantry squads. Right?
Depends, if you only care about screening then having a 30 man unit to be effected by stratagems and psychic powers that buff defence is very useful as opposed to individual 10 man units or blobs of infantry if you spend the CP.
Whether that’s worth 3 or 4 points per model is debatable but personally at least I’m fine with it, Conscripts are a good meat shield because of their numbers but that’s it, it’s what they really should have been from the start. They’re still in competitive lists so that’s something.
Writting up Orks in the spreadsheet now…
Talk to me. Nobz Cybork body. 5 points, for 6+++….
It’s a defensive upgrade… that makes the Nob… less defensive per point…
It also makes it do less damage per point by increasing the point cost.
Wow.
I miss the 9th age podcast. But I understand also there wouldn’t be much to talk about as AoS is in a depressing dryspell right now. I hope next year is better.
Loving Reece’s little ‘la la-la’ at the end there.
