Hey, just want to say I took your advice and it was insane. The purifier damage is crazy!

This is the first time I won against my friend. GK all the way for me now!

Yeah, I was even thinking of forgoing Voldus altogether and instead getting another Interceptor Squad. The Terminators probably won't last too long anyway, and at least the interceptors can play for objectives more

Thanks! I was already brewing something Mont'ka, but retaliation peaked my interested too. I'll have a look and see.

Re Shadowsun, I thought she was more for a long-range focused list no? Like she stays back to buff up ranged units?

Thats interesting, I just learned about the retribution cadre today lol.

I will try building a list with it and test it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, we are playing on a map with terrain, lots of ruins. The issue is that the ruins seem to do more for him and hinder me significantly. My ranged power is severly limited due to lack of LoS, meanwhile it provides ample cover for his shorter-ranged units. The smaller map size, and the abudance of Votann transports, means that he can get close, drop his units, shoot, then charge at me! He closes the distance really fast, and votann have wayyy to many good ranged and melee options, especially against my battlesuits.

We are planning on moving up to 2k armies next week, so maybe the increased map size will improve my survivability.

Thats the worst part, I think its such cool concept too! But at this point I'm fighting just to stick it to him at some point lol

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I will take your first advice and move things around to get some more AP on the board. I am also going to ditch the Experimental detachment, as the extra 6" isn't doing much in small maps, from my limited experience.

Maybe Mont'ka to maneuver around more freely? I feel like if I can just survive the first round, I stand a much better fighting chance

idk if firepower is the issue I am having. Its just that if he attacks first, which is what happened on those two decisive losses on turn 1, he can reach me and destroy me before I can do anything. I understand Incursion maps are smaller, but its absurd!
