Kroot are a funny joke, but honestly who doesn't just burn the little bastards? Lose the Kroot and a Suit, get another Hammerhead.<br /><br />DE are pretty much the standard 1K buildout since 1999.<br /><br />Blood Angels look fine, and look like all solid building for later, with the possible exception of the Razorback. I'd rather give a Powerfirst to that Sergeant and put them in a Rhino to run up; but I'm not easily confused as to what they do. :)Jwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300981728444363555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-82049095594909676212009-12-07T07:47:29.373-06:002009-12-07T07:47:29.373-06:00Posted by Tyler: "I don't really have any...Posted by Tyler: "I don't really have any comments on the dark eldar list because it looks great. lol.

Another unit of girly-girls is the easiest way to add a bit more oomph and is already on my to-do list.<br /><br />Thank you for validating my thinking, Tyler!<br /><br />~G~Gauthichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037324467263090784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-90947148551711297882009-12-07T07:33:27.347-06:002009-12-07T07:33:27.347-06:00No, that's great Tyler!

Believe me, it will be useful.<br /><br />One of the interesting things that's happening here is learning exactly how these weaknesses work. We have to use the same list for our three 'stock' games in December, so people's natural impulse to...<br /><br />1) blame a weakness on luck or a bad matchup, or...<br /><br />2) change or drop a unit based on one game...<br /><br />...isn't happening.<br /><br />That's been useful so folks can see exactly where they went wrong.<br /><br />I had the same thoughts about the Tau and Blood Angels, but I missed seeing those on the Black Templars.

Then I would switch the hammerhead for broadsides because otherwise it will be the only vehicle in the army. I would also put plasma/missile pod the commander as well. One squad of kroot form a 'bubblewrap' around the army, slowing down assaulters, the other can do the same, or sit on an objective, the broadsides go after armour, and the suits go after everything else. (if you couldn't tell, I didn't like that list much) It just doesn't have enough firepower to take down what is needed, and 240 points spent on devilfish in a 1k army is A LOT. <br /><br />Why does the black templar army have 'abhor the witch, destroy the witch'? Why would anyone pass up preferred enemy? lol. I also think that one land raider won't survive as long as one wishes with the amount of melta most lists put out (even in 1k). I would take a look at investing in a couple units of 5 terminators with 2 assault cannons and tank hunters. They can put out a world of hurt in both shooting and assault with preferred enemy. If you do this, I would also have to drop the rhinos on the crusaders and just add more bodies. (otherwise 2 rhinos would be the only tanks on the table)<br /><br />I think the blood angels list just lacks focus. It can't decide whether it wants to be jump or mech. And by trying to take both in 1k, he isn't able to use the advantages each gives. (jump-great assault and mobility, mech-durability and firepower). I would go with either all jump troops and speeders, or I would go all rhinos/maybe razorbacks, and baal predators.<br /><br />I don't really have any comments on the dark eldar list because it looks great. lol. I think it has proper balance of troops and firepower. I wish you could get another unit of wyches in.. but I don't think its going to happen in 1k. All I have to say is.. dark eldar are sick, same with the whole pirate conversion that he has been doing.<br /><br />All of the above thoughts were said from just a competitive standpoint. It's just what I personally think needs to be done to each list to make it what I think to be more effective on the battlefield. I hope I didn't step on any toes or anything, I was just putting my thoughts out there.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949552487719958918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-18076228418376270212009-12-06T21:19:40.232-06:002009-12-06T21:19:40.232-06:00Or you can choose another.
