Right guys......... Any advice on strategy against the common lists? Cant go back on my army now (stupid advanced list submission!) trying to work out a bit of a game plan against certain armys!
1st turn i can fire
5 x str 8 ap 3 48'' + move
3 x str 9 ap 2 48'' + move
10 grav shots 24'' + move
6 grav shots 18'' + bike move
1 str 10 ap 1 barrage large blast
1 str 9 ap 2 barrage large blast
4 str 5 ap 5 ignore line of sight and cover
Im thinking use the str 10 ap 1 blast 1st turn to try and take out priority characters in death stars e.g. Loth, farsight, coteaz etc as it will instant kill them all if they fail a look out sir or two. Same with the riptides nova charged ion cannon (str 9 ap 2 barrage) both having re rolls to hit! If my opponent has any vehicles (especially anti air) i was thinking to give the blob 'tank hunters' from the Tau commander and blowing all thr las and missiles to makr sure theyre destroyed.
My main debate is whether or not to start my bikes in reserve as i will lose a turn or two of shooting the grav guns but if theyre not on the table they cant be killed! As i only have 4 scoring units (unless i get lucky on my warlord traits) i need to protect them? The tactical marines should be safe enough in the stormraven and assume the Kroot will just die as soon as someone throws a stick at them.
What u reckon?
