Thsnkd guys for the comments on your latest 6th ed tournament. So it looks like guard are the top tier army at the minute, daemons have made a comeback and Necrons with loads of fliers are still in with a chance.
I’m glad to hear thar tanks are still able to play a part in the game. I was afraid that they were not compeditive enough to use any more.
Would I be right in saying that ith not all about Space marines any more?

Some interesting observations.

I’m actually a bit surprise as far as the Guard vs. Necron debate goes. I would have thought that Necrons would be able to make a much better impact on a mechanized army, glancing tanks to death with their gauss-weapons.

I know how you can get 9 fliers into an 1850 Necron list. 6 troops and 3 heavy, But how do you get an additional 3? Would it be with guard allies??

I do think that 10-15 Lootas are more effective AA than Hydras. They can also move 6″ and still get their snap shots.

You can’t have Summoning and Divination

Flyers, FMC and Skimmers

I wonder if playing with 12 flyers would be any fun. I’m guessing that it would be very compeditive against certain armied and then a bit rubbish against others. A bit like paper rock scissors.

@redshane. I’d reckon if all of your units can move up to 60″ in a turn and all but a few of the enemy can shoot you only at BS1 there aren’t too many armies out there that would stand any sort of chance against all that.

I completly agree with you on that point. The only problem is if you then go against a guard player who decides to get 6 or even 9 hydras and castle his army to shoot you out of the sky. Then after investing all of that into an anty aircraft army, you then are not much good againds a more standard army.
The only thing I am really saying is that it may make the game a bit unbalanced.

Yep spot on I reckon, see what the new Codices bring I guess

So any ideas for a 1850 guard with wolf allies ?

Well I have been raising hell in protest of your guys absense… …you been missed. That out of the way I know everyone is building guard splash your favorite flavor of space marine.lists out there well I have started a ork/necron list while I know I am at great disadvantage due to ally chart. Meaning they are not battle brothers however like you have mentioned the necron flyers are beast for the points. I am wanting to taxi boys over to the enemy while making the other players psition softer with warriors shooting and the flyers. whether people like my… Read more »
