I had 4 priests total in the list, and usually had good coverage. <br /><br />It was the deepstriking deployment that was getting me though. Maybe a rhino rush would be a better option for me. A bit more straightforward to use, aka more difficult for me to screw up.<br /><br />And I'll go dredge up your list Xaereth, I'd like any ideas I can get, lolMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870969601837388581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286886968291049141.post-72291224385293118862010-04-30T01:42:20.296-07:002010-04-30T01:42:20.296-07:00Heh, I think that combat-squadded Vanguard squads ...Heh, I think that combat-squadded Vanguard squads would be your 'trump card' against Tau. The ability to remove a broadside team and crisis suit team hiding behind cover in one turn is pretty huge :)<br /><br />Have you considered a FNP/FC-spam list? I know I was able to use (an unoptimized) one pretty effectively against an Imperial Guard Mech army, because he simply couldn't get through my saves. 50-60 marines w/ FNP is tough for just about anyone to get rid of quickly. Lots of anti-horde with their combat abilities, and lots of fast tank-popping with melta everywhere.<br /><br />Figured I'd throw it out there for you, since you seem unhappy with your current list. I think it has potential, anyways. It seems like I mentioned it (in more depth) on my own blog somewhere, if you feel the burning urge to dig it up.<br /><br />By the way, sorry you got tabled- I've been there myself, and to a guy I've never lost to except in that one game, lol.Xaerethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128303819082218339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286886968291049141.post-67520677103760492642010-04-29T16:18:43.866-07:002010-04-29T16:18:43.866-07:00I hear you, the Tau army is one I would really fee...I hear you, the Tau army is one I would really feel afraid of with this army. All of their high-powered shooting will knock you off the board in a hurry if you can't get into assault immediately.<br /><br />With effective kroot screens and pirahnas in your way, they would kick the teeth out of my army before I could come to grips with them.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870969601837388581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286886968291049141.post-6251000090262159742010-04-29T15:39:05.735-07:002010-04-29T15:39:05.735-07:00Don't feel too bad mate, my BAs had a more emb...Don't feel too bad mate, my BAs had a more embarrassing defeat.

Put in some good mech elements, but then some suicide melta squads dropping down to really disrupt things. But at 250 or so for the whole squad, then combat squadding, thats 125 for about 3 melta shots, that probably won't survive too long after they blow their load. You will have a small combat squad left over for objective grabbing, but they wont last much either to a concentrated effort.<br /><br />It's gonna take some work for me, I see that now.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870969601837388581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286886968291049141.post-80525116488031689892010-04-29T11:48:46.353-07:002010-04-29T11:48:46.353-07:00I've been posting on my difficulty in building...I've been posting on my difficulty in building a workable Blood Angels list. I've got a solution in the works that's pretty cool - I'll have it up in a week or so.<br /><br />I'm at the point though, where I think the Blood Angels are going to be Hybrid or mostly Mech with some supporting Jump Pack squads.<br /><br />BrentBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.com
