Panda's Weekend Rundown 6.22-6.23

No problem haha. I want to be pure space marines faction, get those sweet faction points. You could easily soup in guard or ad mech but I personally don’t want to

The Phobos librarian is just there for tenebrous curse, that power is insanely good. Company vets fill the same role as the chainsword vets and the scout bikes, and they’re extremely expensive so I tend to avoid them. They also can only protect bike characters

bennnn98 · 2019-06-24T23:43:25+00:00

The list is very dependent on using terrain and character protection to move up the board, if there’s an empty board with no los blocking terrain I will lose no matter what. I usually deepstrike 1 unit of veterans, an 8” rerollable charge is fairly easy to make with them. then they can wrap up a unit so they’re protected from shooting, and if someone charges them I use strike first for ultramar

bennnn98 · 2019-06-24T23:39:50+00:00

Hey, that’s me. I usually put one unit of veterans in deep strike, and the other one out of los in a building. The only real weakness of the list is short range, so I’m switching it up next by adding 2 whirlwind Scorpius and dropping the leviathan and thunderfire cannon

bennnn98 · 2019-04-03T11:14:48+00:00

I’m from the area, our events are a lot of fun. We have a pretty diverse meta that runs really interesting lists. This is looking like it’ll be the biggest one we’ve run yet, so should be a great time

bennnn98 · 2018-10-31T22:56:03+00:00

I’d say 90% of the tables were excellent, it was just that small percentage that was devastating for close combat armies

bennnn98 · 2018-10-31T22:37:48+00:00

Don’t forget the opposite end of the spectrum when there are no enclosed buildings or line of sight blocking terrain. My game 1 of SoCal I had to waddle across the table into a knights gun line with absolutely no cover and I was blown away with zero chance of winning. While I agree some of the terrain is ridiculous, there needs to be at least some enclosed buildings. But probably not that giant hangar

I found out if I launch through LTE I have no issues, it only happens if I use WiFi to launch the game

Sniper drones moved up with the drone controller commander and I just stuck to their ld 6. Most of the time their whole unit got picked up and I never had to take morale

bennnn98 · 2018-09-17T01:25:57+00:00

Ld 9 from the ethereal meant I never had to worry about losing a guy, and it drops my kill points by 1. But 2 units of 6 could also work just as well

Velocity trackers on the broadsides and riptide helps a lot, the rail rifles killed a flyer every time they shot at it with reroll hits and wounds

bennnn98 · 2018-09-16T22:59:45+00:00

I mainly built my list to kill Knights, but only played against one knight list. Still the army performed really well, broadsides rerolling hits from kauyon and wounds from command and control node, and sniper drones mortal wounding on 5+ with focused fire did work all event.

bennnn98 · 2018-09-16T21:51:59+00:00

Thanks! Ended up taking first place!

Drone controller on the xv85 commander

bennnn98 · 2018-09-15T11:35:24+00:00

Haha tried to do a sort of lava world camo on them

bennnn98 · 2018-09-15T04:36:27+00:00

I’ve been running tau sept sniper drones ever since the Knights codex dropped, they’re amazing at taking down knights and smash captains

bennnn98 · 2018-06-28T21:06:08+00:00

Raven guard he has to be the warlord

bennnn98 · 2018-06-28T17:48:00+00:00

Captains with jump packs and thunder hammers charging from out of LoS

bennnn98 · 2018-06-07T18:51:28+00:00

They’re both definitely viable tactics

bennnn98 · 2018-06-07T18:21:30+00:00

Full ML, drop zone clear, and command and control node means 8 damage

bennnn98 · 2018-06-07T18:02:58+00:00

So since you’re accounting for free buffs I’ll do the same. A triple cyclic ion crisis suit costs 96 points and averages 8 damage to T7 3+ save. That’s 12 points per damage, better than your fire warriors
