I would say the cheesemeister at its best. I can just picture the discussions we arer going to have in our gaming group when will do this to our dark eldar player…this is going to be hilarious^^

I just cannot fathom how the European tourney folks came to the conclusion that blocking a free entry point for anything in reserve is more cheesy than being able to place an impassible terrain piece wherever you want that you can use to bring in anything in reserve without scatter.

Well theres the cheese now wheres my toast?! 😀

Yes you are on top but you can stil move out as a Dark Eldar player, it counts as the edge of the board and unless you can park youre skimmer outside the board it doesnt work.

Just wanna say… Nomnomnooom.

Ravager is not a transport BOW GET YOUR DARK ELDAR REFERENCES RIGHT DAMNIT
Furthermore, Darrell is being REALLY cheesy here with the skimmers, I would not approve of others using tactics that cheesy against me. Even though I don’t go to the ETC either 😛

There are 2 ways i can think of around this uber cheese. 1) Grab the limited edition portal thing from GW or make your own non-flat one and claim that the bike/skimmer must be able to balance ontop of this impassable terrain to be able to park there. 2) jump infanty and bikes of your own have the ability to ignore other models and terrain so have them pop out of the portal :P.

Clearly you can’t find words like fair play and sportmanship from Darrell’s dictionary.

What’s to stop the Dark Eldar player from paring a vehicle over the portal just the same way? Wouldn’t that be an allied vehicle, and thus not count with regards to moving onto the board? I know Dark Eldar stuff is fragile, but it would seem that if I’m there, shooting your dudes before they can get to my portal, my guys can come out. Of course, I’m not as up on 40K rules as others. Poor sportsmanship to say the least, as others said. Personally, were this done to me, I’d forfeit and never game with the person who… Read more »

A bit too cheesy to pull in a friendly game for me, but a very nice smelling bit of cheese there.

Ultramarine Eldar Necron Alliance? I know you’re kidding Darrel, but lets not give Matt Ward any ideas, okay? I beg you BOW team, take this video down until after the Necron release. Please, don’t help Ward ruin any more of what we love.

Another counter to this is (not going with arguments here) is to have a Webway cone shaped. The skimmer must be able to land on it wich is impossible with a cone shape.

This is what i mean

for those of you saying that if its a cone or the half sphere the tactic wouldn’t work check your rule book for the rule on wobbly model syndrome.

Bah, Who deploys it like that? Though, a wraith? I’m quite sure it says that you cannot stay on an impassable terrain somewhere in the rulebook… Then again… most likely a Space Marine complaining. Let’s not complain that a bolter can take down a Raider shall we?

I’ll park a Monolith over it….

Makes me take up my old raiders again and have there points hover above the portal, no dangerous terrain check but enemy skimmer cant move over it as he gets within 1″ of my models.

This anti portal cheese could be used to controll the opponents army btw, just throw 2 or 3 in the open and see the opponent scurry over there, easy targets i would say.

uhhh Darrel just because you don’t test doesn’t mean you can stop on top of impassable terrain actually it specifically says they cannot stop in impassible terrain.

To me the dark eldar pulled a cheese out of their codex. Why not answer their cheese with more of for cheese? Sounds like a “i can do one better than you” thing to me
