Since everybody expects mech lists they are not prepared for all foot or mostly foot lists. all of a sudden they lack the fire power to deal with the mass amount of troops.<br /><br />The spanking I took against CVintons outflanking imp guard army is a prime example. he has 2 vendettas in the list and some scout sentinals thats it. its all infantry on foot past that. The webway list was dealt its first defeat and it was a nasty one.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-56094350140854792982011-07-08T13:18:28.381-04:002011-07-08T13:18:28.381-04:00The poor guardians are still going to catch the oc...The poor guardians are still going to catch the occaisonal large blast template because people can't help but try to wipe out a huge swath of soft targets, but I agree, they won't be priority targets.<br />Running multiple 11 packs with 2 flamers and a Warlock that knows Destructor all in a Wave Serpent can really rack up some kills, especially when you are tank shocking to force the enemy to bunch up. I like being able to get my flame templates to where it will hurt the most.Hotsaucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-72600056231872314592011-07-07T10:30:51.898-04:002011-07-07T10:30:51.898-04:00The fire support is part of the diversion.

People tend to ignore the aspect warriors and pour their low ap weapons into the seer council despite the fact it makes no difference if its a melta gun or a bolter when it comes to wounding a warlock. Given the mobility of the warp spiders and swooping hawks they should try and remain just out of reach to tempt your opponent to move after them. They won't be so tempted with Eldrad and his entourage bearing down on them though. this gives your Guardians a relatively unmolested march up the field to grab objectives and hit smaller units in close combat to mire them down.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-9486974214192348342011-07-07T02:27:58.848-04:002011-07-07T02:27:58.848-04:00The problem I face when I run setups similar where...The problem I face when I run setups similar where there are guardians marching maniacally/fearless along the avatar is the the things I put into diversion aren't durable enough to hold the attention of a gun line scenario. <br /><br />I have problems with warp spiders personally, when I drop them in especially. The randomness of deep strike in combination with the range of their guns being the issue, either deep strike close enough to be able to utilize the fire power and hope for a scatter to my advantage or put them in cover since 3+ armour attracts ap3 guns like moths to a flame. The second issue for me is that strength 4 weapons puts an adequate amount of wounds to crack even the might of warp spider armor. These problems are both magnified and reduced in the swooping hawks whose firepower has fifty percent further range.<br /><br />Is your tactic to sacrifice the mighty aspect warriors so that the war equipped civilians make where they need to be?<br /><br />Do you also depend upon the fire support as diversion because of their relatively higher threat than the marchers?Morosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509307130468450112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-846682046605555082011-07-06T23:39:59.014-04:002011-07-06T23:39:59.014-04:00It helps when you have been doing this hobby for 1...It helps when you have been doing this hobby for 15 years or more when things were cheap.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-48997751044011253862011-07-06T23:38:53.147-04:002011-07-06T23:38:53.147-04:00Well I have one storm guardian kit and a crap ton ...Well I have one storm guardian kit and a crap ton of guardians and a friend that does resin casting<br /><br />I also have an epic bits box of eldar close combat bits from several sources.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-77265085030217866472011-07-06T21:57:07.575-04:002011-07-06T21:57:07.575-04:00How did you make your guardians ?
