Gearing up for a big game is one of the best parts of the hobby. Its that thrill of massing your army, preparing to fight a great foe, for glory and possibly loot. I find myself gearing up for a doubles match in about a month or so. Its nothing too major, just 1500 a person, and there are only 4 of us. However, it should be interesting nonetheless. My teammate is fairly new to the hobby, it will be about his third game, but I'm confident he will do fine.
Now, we don't exactly know what armies our foes will bring, because each has two armies, and they are staying pretty closed lipped about which they will bring. One foe, I am absolutely not worried about, because he plays either Tau, or IG, both of which my army easily beats. The other player is a bit more worrisome, he will either be playing Chaos Space Marines, or Necrons. I have no idea what CSM army he has collected, and I've only fought Necrons once, and they were on my team, so I don't know much about fighting them.
IG have a problem against Space Marines (and therefore Chaos Space Marines) and Necrons.
their armor, and other tough as nails attributes are just too much for the lasgun. So here's the plan:
My buddy, who collects Space Marines, will be dropping in with a couple of drop pods, and hopefully tie up the Chaos, or Crons. While he does that, My Vendetta, with Grae's Grenadiers in it, will be flying over the Tau or IG lines. I will drop my men into their gunline and kill as many as possible, which should be alot, while my Vendetta will blast at one of the Cron, or Chaos units. What will probably happen, is after two turns, our harassment forces should be killed off, however, they bought precious time for the rest of our army. My guard, led by Straken and a hefty unit of flamers, should make short work of any surviving Tau or IG. While my stormtroopers, aided by my buddies Terminators and other Marines, should be able to kill the rest of the Chaos or Crons.
Granted, it's simple, but the more simple the stronger they are, because fewer things can go wrong. I hope it works, and no matter what, it will be fun.
