Sure we are full of crap at times but don't let that take away from what a knowledgable person has to say. Often the best lists are deceptive. Just because it's not Fateweaver/Crusher spam, lash spam, mech vets spam, etc. doesn't mean it's not viable. Spam is the last refuge for the dummies. Blackmoor knows what he is taking about. The people that railed against his infantry eldar win at the Wild West are the same people that let others tell them how they should play the game. Personally I abhor meta net lists and to me nothing could be more boring. If you ever happen to make it to one of the top tables I doubt you will see any meta net lists. That's just the way it is.<br /><br />GTerminus Esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216648052452417162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-88271400783885275992010-03-06T14:27:19.109-06:002010-03-06T14:27:19.109-06:00Brent, myself, Gauthic, BigWhit, and a few others ...Brent, myself, Gauthic, BigWhit, and a few others play at Galaxy Comics in Wichita Falls,Tx. <br /><br />Feel free to take a look at www.galaxycomics.netMaster Manipulator (every store needs one)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-10583810107428391532010-03-06T14:01:04.497-06:002010-03-06T14:01:04.497-06:00I haven't been reading the blog for long, but ...I haven't been reading the blog for long, but I admit one (offtrack) thing caught my eye in particular.

IMO, if you're saying something contrary to overwhelming popular opinion (ie, Foot can hold it's own) you don't start by saying you're undefeated. It's arrogant and meaningless. It's impossible to take someone seriously in that circumstance, and it makes their army seem much worse than it really is. I hold to the opinion, ofc, that that isn't even the strongest possible FootDar list, nvm the strongest possible Foot list.TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-67080013314673840832010-03-05T15:29:22.322-06:002010-03-05T15:29:22.322-06:00Fire Prisms are da shiznit!

Encouragement is much appreciated.<br /><br />I didn't even mention Dark Reapers, because the scorn they have heaped on them over at YTTH, but I simply love them. While I agree with the Master Manipulator (every store needs one) and Evil Homer that they are probably an inferior choice compared to the Fire Prism, I've used them to great effect any number of occasions. Once Marines are out of their transport, I don't think there is anything better for killing them.<br /><br />The major failure I had with them (and Pathfinders) was against Adam in the Semis of Hard Boyz 2009. He had a nice Mechdar list, but those units are useless for knocking them out of the air.<br /><br />Thanks again - BrentBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-88072878457741067762010-03-05T13:59:43.075-06:002010-03-05T13:59:43.075-06:00This is an interesting topic to me simply because ...This is an interesting topic to me simply because I used to really mess with people using footdar in 4th edition. I firmly state that anyone who knows what he's doing can beat the tar out of some one who has a nice list, but has no clue. This was why I was so successful people were always ready for the flying circuses of death when I would tell them I played eldar, then be confused when they see me running dire avengers and a few Wraithlords at them with Dark reaper support and Eldrad, I loves him ^_^. <br /><br />Then of course 5th came around and vehicles began to pop up every where and I let my eldar die, it was a good run.<br /><br />The strength wasn't in my list, my list was complete garbage, the power came from the surprise of facing something my opponent wasn't ready for.<br /><br /> When you fight a list style you've never seen before it takes time to adapt, time I wouldn't give them. I knew what I was doing and immediately acted upon it while my opponents were still try to come up with a coherent plan.<br /><br />It was very successful, not because of the list, but because of what the list allowed me to exploit.<br /><br />Just my own wisdom on the subject.<br /><br /><br />Ps. I've watched your blog since it's first post and I really like what your doing here, keep up the good work.Grimnar Angbandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-54810303118637865532010-03-05T13:36:55.274-06:002010-03-05T13:36:55.274-06:00Whit: you can whore your dice cups at any point! ...Whit: you can whore your dice cups at any point!

Perhaps that is because a huge percentage of the nonwinners are also nonparticipants. The great thing is you don't have to participate in a tournament to be a loser, as is demonstrated repeatedly in your link. I have no idea how to win with the list given, but I respect the guy for winning, and I've already scheduled a game with him - maybe I'll learn something, or maybe not, but just because I don't see how his list can be used well doesn't make it useless.Jwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300981728444363555noreply@blogger.com
