He gets a lot of toys for being so cheap.Hulksmashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417830994213666149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155691433231130852.post-85111481827090094272010-10-26T23:34:52.789-07:002010-10-26T23:34:52.789-07:00I like it hulky, like I said on MVB's list, I ...I like it hulky, like I said on MVB's list, I have been looking at something like this.<br /><br />Only thing that bugs me is that the Hellions don't have Grenades, I might tweak it a bit to include that and maybe a few other stuffs. Don't be surprised when I come back from my Army Basic Training with this list! lolSmurfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814937427649320845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155691433231130852.post-32584802604436401762010-10-25T17:40:42.278-07:002010-10-25T17:40:42.278-07:00Love the Baron.

The shooting is a nice upgrade which is something I liked and while they'll only shoot probably once in a game it's a neat addition. <br /><br />As for the Huskblade I'm not using it because it has such a low chance at wounding general models. You don't see a ton of Tyranid lists on scene anyway and paying so much for a weapon with limited utility isn't my style. An agoniser will do 2 wounds to a TWC while a huskblade will do .66. So the only thing it's better against is MC's and IC's which isn't what I want to use it for.<br /><br />As for a WWP army I'm already working on one but it's tricky. I think it can be viable the balance is just harder to find. I'll probably put it up next week.<br /><br />@Chumb<br /><br />Thanks! Your blog ate my comment on your Dark Eldar Armada that boiled down to I like it but I'd use Wracks as the 10-mans and wyches as the 5-mans :)Hulksmashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417830994213666149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155691433231130852.post-81578684063792757212010-10-24T08:03:45.605-07:002010-10-24T08:03:45.605-07:00I like the new Beastmasters a lot. They were one ...I like the new Beastmasters a lot. They were one of the first units to hit my radar with beast status, wound allocation shenanigans, and mixed multi-wounds and invuln saves. I'll definately try to work them into my lists. 200pts for 14 models, tons of attacks, and 4++ is great IMO, especially in an MSU environment where your opponent will be targeting transports and Ravagers.<br /><br />I dunno about Baron S in this list though. His +1 is attractive, but you're only using him for one 11 man scoring unit. Slightly more mobile than assault marines with fleet, but slightly less survivable. Hellion shooting isn't terrible, but a DE firebase without an OT transport is an underdog and you probably won't be firing them at a unit you'll be assaulting same turn.<br /><br />Just a general question, but how come we aren't seeing more Husk Blades in net lists? Are people avoiding them because of the low str? Seems to me the ability to ID TWC and TMC's before they can even strike would be appealing.<br /><br />Also, do you think a list with a WWP to bring in beasts/scourges/reavers midfield will be viable without a means to manipulate reserve rolls?hyv3myndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986893384791002364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155691433231130852.post-61148628182514034792010-10-24T06:21:45.549-07:002010-10-24T06:21:45.549-07:00I like this a lot.
