Talos or Ravager?
« on: August 28, 2003, 12:23:29 AM »
Alright, I have a talos and a ravager with 3 DL's. and i dont know if i should get another ravager, but use 3 dissies or another talos or maybe scourges as the next heavy support.
My main opponents are DA, BA, 'nids and Choas.

Welll I use a Ravager with 3 Dissintegrators (when I get the money Ill get another one with DLs) and a Scourge squad with Splinter Canons and I've done quit well with that.  Granted Ive never fought Tyranids before tho.

One Talos is fine.
In a cleanse mission, you can put it in front row.
Pull it back, if you have first turn.
Against Nids, I've put the Talos in front row.
My oppenent got first turn and his winged Hive Tyrant
immediately charged the Talos, and the Talos killed
his favorite puppy in round 1.

Scourges equipped with splinter cannons are useful
against horde armies.  I recommend to buy the box.
Instead of the darklances, take the splinter cannons
from the starting box if available. This gives you
5 Scourges w/ Splinter Cannons (x4), Splinter Rifle (x1).

I thought that maybe 2 splinter canons in three warrior squads would be enough, so Dissies would be the choice agianst larger armies. On the other hand, tank heavy SMurf armies require a few more than three DL's to work properly.
In a recent game against 'nids, it took 4 turns to obliterate the Carnifex with my three DL's, but 6 splinter cannons can work wonders against genestealers and gaunts!! :)
