Topic: 2+ army useful?

[mrspungebob]

As a variant of the 'zilla lists, how about only (except troop choices) include creatures with 2+ save? Being fexes, tyrants and zoanthropes. Make them all shooty as there is no way all those fexes are going to walk all over the board, and you only have one flyrant.

Would be fun to use this against marine. "You call power armor an armorsave? THIS is an armorsave!" I guess it is overly cheesy though, since no one but dark eldar usually field that amount of AP 2 weaponry.

I suppose, at 2000 points, if you have a bunch of points to spare, you could put it on everyone but the walking tyrant (who has guard, and you don't want to be picked out with the weight of fire).  With 7 MCs with a 2+ armor save (and one with about 8 wounds), you wouldn't die fast.  But I wouldn't do it before 2000 points, simply because you start scrambling to fill the points until then.

Yes a typical MC list can do it, and it would certainly scew necrons over. Although i dont know how it would fare against other armies.

And what exactly would you take as troops, out of interest?

[mrspungebob]

Well, we can't have any troops with considerable saves, so i guess just normal gaunts. Or maybe rippers, since most instant-kill weapons will be pointing towards the MC's.

At 2000 points, a couple/few broods of Genestealers (probably with EC), would fill up the rest of the points, and give you some more CC punch.
