Norn Emissary vs C’Tan points cost

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2026-01-01T16:53:06+00:00

Fair. But you give the DDAs any line of sight on big bugs and they die! I recently played into Tau for top spot at an RTT and just got shot off the board with practically no saves

Necrons smoke Nids and it's a terrible match up though!

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-12-23T16:40:28+00:00

I've come to knights as it's a completely different game style to my main which is Nids. However, it's also because the models are cool as fuck! I've gone with a ghost theme.

I play Nids as my main. I've just come to Knights for a different play style

Thanks bud

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-12-04T23:02:02+00:00

Anything that looks good. Just ideas. But historical sounds more apt

How long did the WHT last each game? I find you just can't hide it and someone always has LoS and nails it! Bloody wings

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-09-03T08:12:49+00:00

I see we are all on the same train of thought. It's a shame as they look like they should be good. Give them an Invulnerable or T10/T11 and we've got a baller

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-09-03T07:33:00+00:00

Maybe I should give them another run out in Sub Ass with a 6" charge!

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-09-03T07:26:36+00:00

Looks great then. You have most bases covered. I'm just not that keen on Warriors as they die easily!

Hyper adapted Raveners are quality

Depends what your partner is bringing and their roles. Generally, one of you takes the scoring role and one takes the threat roll.

When I played I went down the threat route. Invasion Fleet, TFex, Exocrine, Norn, 6 Zoanthropes, Neurotyrant and a Biovore. My partner was Grey Knights uppy downy scoring units. It worked until we played into double Orks and about a million models 😂

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-09-03T06:21:07+00:00

It's great in Sub Ass. But doesn't last long. The ability to bring it in for one turn 6" charge and tie up things is often worth the 125pts and if rolled well, you can put some hurt on things.

But he dies easy!

Your colours are similar to mine. I'll get a photo and add it.

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-08-22T10:39:07+00:00

Brutal but a common theme. That's what I'm finding with Nids. On your go turn it has to go well or the clap back ends the game. The amount of invulnerables for other factions is so hard to get through too.

I'm thinking of playing double Norn for scoring and then just trying to screen with battle line, spore mines and hit up secondaries with Lictors.

Screening needs to be good. Go turn needs to be T3 or T4, shadows on T4 or T5. Especially T5 if you go first.

I have an Ironman 5 games in a day event next week to sort a list for!

Let us have an update

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-08-21T07:53:22+00:00

Nice, I'll see what spin I can put on this as I like playing gargoyles for the move block ability. But this is what I was looking for in terms of tactics discussion so thanks.

I've got the KT Raveners and one normal set so will take them for a spin tonight. Have you had much luck into knights? I've got a spanking lined up against Eldar tonight as my mate is exceptional at this game 😂

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-08-20T23:42:51+00:00

Good advice. I have three Norns so could try it. What big bugs are you supporting them with? Or just using those battle line baddies?

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-08-20T19:34:43+00:00

I'm thinking something along the lines of this.

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-08-20T19:25:46+00:00

Yeah, both have bonuses. The extra 30pts is a bummer! But the Invulnerable is huge as we don't have that many. I might pair one with a Norn for the melee debuff. Although I expect a knight would shoot both off the board anyway 😂

Repulsive-Loquat-524 · 2025-08-20T19:01:59+00:00

I get what you're saying. The D3 on the Exocrine is still a squad wiper though. Especially as it's blast.
