(**1850**)I had this crazy idea that Flash Gitz were actually good. The origin and initial conception for the list can be found here (halfway up the page in bright yelloww, lol)
A TDC Blog: tactics , unit analysis, batreps, observations - Page 12I needed to field them. They are almost as tough as Manz and are shooty instead of assaulty so why not? Sure they are over costed. They should be characters at the very least so they could use precision shot and that would fix them nicely. But they are not. Meh. My first match was against BA ... so there were dreads, baals, strom raven dante, sang guard. I deployed with my lootas and zzapps in the back buffered by grots and went right at his list getting the Gitz near center table turn one. The deffkoptas went out and started to try and take care of any vehicles ... baals are nasty. I did not really have any answer for the storm raven and he was able to get some very good use from it all game. That said the Gitz killed a lot of models. I lost five gitz during the course of the game ( 200 points worth). They destroyed a good 300+ points of his army but the best was how much firepower he wasted trying to take them down. I was able to peppr him with lootas and zzapp gun all game. Now I did not overrun him. I grabbed the relic and backed up. I protected my Warboss w/ the big Gitz squad so he was safe all game. I managed to linebreak with my one surviving 'kopta. It was enough to secure a victory.
My second match was against Necrons and that did not go quite as well. The problem here was the nightscthes coming on then leaving then dropping off troops late game. I handled his wraiths and barges okay - well I took some casualties but was unable to kill his warlord or stop him from grabbing objectives. I suffered a loss - albeit the game was close. He was using two D-lords and lots of wraiths and my Gitz took down quite a few. My mistake was charging them with the Ard boyz and a squad of Manz in an attempt to finish them off. His D-lord challenged and killed my WB - stupid MSS - and even three wraiths anda second D-lord were enough to punish my Boyz and Manz. I took down two wraiths and lost both squads. But it did open him up to my dakka when he won and I was able to kill off a D-lord and his wraiths. Had I killed the whole squad before losing two troop squads I might have come out ahead in the game. My Gitz again did quite well and some were around with my warlord boss at game's end.
I'm hoping that in the new codex they drop the price of the Gitz or have a character that makes them troops at the very least. I could probably live with that, lol. In the meantime I'll pull them out on occasion for the ride. The list is certainly entertaining to lay with and my opponent's said against.
