Great for keeping objectives, too.

problem with your suggestion is that I do...@asmodai<br />problem with your suggestion is that I dont have the storm bolter and power fist arms for the all my different squads. I have 8, and I am really partiall to playing the survivability of the th/ss termies. If there was a way to play 40K defensively, I think this would be it!<br /><br />@andrew<br />I wanted to try something different before I get set in stone with what Im gonna paint. I wanted to try all foot troops as a counter to the internet meta gaming. That, and I was finding that my troops were almost always getting close to being wiped off the board as the game went on. The thing with elite armies is they dont usually last and the less time they are on the board the better. <br />@ Mags and tim<br />dont worry, a heavy multi wing list is on deck waiting for its chance to swing at the fences.Black Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908677149193186762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161652134072043578.post-56169888159068161402011-05-31T16:58:08.901-04:002011-05-31T16:58:08.901-04:00I think that you should drop one of the deathwing ...I think that you should drop one of the deathwing squads from the troops (you still have 6 scoring units) and instead invest in a chainfist for every squad, and a bike squad with meltaguns.<br /><br />My blog: www.lousteinberg.com/timtimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992602470135309505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161652134072043578.post-62518865533515059022011-05-31T13:43:45.348-04:002011-05-31T13:43:45.348-04:00The list doesn't look all that bad.
