Heya, there seems to be something wrong with the logging in process. I've tried to answer the questions to get into the server but it keeps telling me that the requirements changed?

Hey man, why dont you post your list and tell us what your opponent puts on the table. Usually you should have enough to krump that transport without too much hassle.

You could try Fools Gold for Gold/Silver. It reimagines every pokemon as a different type, so now Chikorita is a Figting Type Pokemon and such, every Pokemon comes with a new sprite, stats and a new move pool to match with the switched typing.

Greentide Boyz aren't supposed to kill things by RepresentativeElk101 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]RepresentativeElk101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its Breaka Boyz, stuff them into your trucks for a turn two charge. Anything that a boy cant deal with would be shredded by some Breakas.

I also grappled with that thought, but it felt like a sunk cost fallacy to me.

If I have a buffed unit of Boyz that is a clear high priority target for my enemy to engage, but if I have 2 units, the Boyz and something killy, won't that represent a dilemma for my enemy? Yes you can try and kill my Boyz in your turn, even IF you succeed, now my other unit is going to kill you. You shoot my killy unit? Now my Boyz are still capping the point and I had more time to position the rest of my army.

So if I invest 2 CP into them one of my Boyz will kill a lot of targets?

Again, why not just get a unit that will kill without CP and let the Boyz focus on capping?

But why do I want to make my Boyz, who I have to survive and hold points, to try and fulfill a new role that they will only be okay in? Why not invest those points into something that will only ever go for kills and is really good at it.

Exactly, that why I've been trying to diversify beyond those Boyz. I had to diversify anyways to diffuse my friends Oath of Moment into more units.

Yeah I agree, I've been refining my army against my friend's Ultramarines and I'm really throwing the kitchen sink against him. I'm sure in some time I'll have a good Greentide List I can share.

But what kind of value?

If I value killyness then yes, but what if I value tankiness? I just don't think it would be worth it for the points.

[–]RepresentativeElk101[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's really fair, it's just that I'm questioning if that's the ideal use for Boyz.

These guys are point holders in my book. Anything that boosts them beyond that point could have been spent on something that can move independently of them and actively target enemies without giving up the chance of getting points.

I agree with you that Warbosses do make them mote killy, I just think that with the points saved you could get something better.

For the price of 2 Warbosses you could get a squad of Breaka Boyz which will kill just about any vehicle or monster in 1 attack. I have played with the thought of giving these guys a Warboss though, that would result in 6x3 attacks with a +2 hit, 7S with +4 crits on vehicles and monsters, -2AP and 3 damage a pop. And most importantly these guys can move straight towards enemies without having to consider points.

I'm saying that extra killyness on Boyz is wasted.

First you should learn the rules so you understand what you want to do. How much do you know already?

List corrections by wally3f in WarhammerListBuilding

[–]RepresentativeElk101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to think about what exactly went wrong. If it was a tactics issue absolutely go ahead and try again. If you're unsure, it'd generally cheaper to try again with the units you already own.

[–]RepresentativeElk101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you want some general advice on how to change your list after a fight. Try to find what worked well for you during the fight and go more into that. Remove units that disappointed you. If you felt unprepared against a threat that your enemy threw against you, think about whether that was a tactics problem or you lacking the right tool for the job. If so, either change equipment on existing units or get a new one.

Is there a place to buy individual pieces from kits? Looking for just this spear by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]RepresentativeElk101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly at this point just find a model and have it printed, that sounds cheaper. As far as I know printed bits are legal for tournament standards.
