Yes but you forget that stats and armour and all that crap are all not very important.

On DoW, all races are equally powerful, it just depends on your ability and strategy. So who cares what stats and crpa they have?!

Plus Nids get the added bonus of being cute so sod you and your damn terms :p

[BOSS]Squall · Clan Leader

not true lol they may be GENERALLY equal but there all better at diff things.

E.g An army of nids vs marines. If nids can get into CC they will cause damage. But only until they run into a dreadnought or the like. And the chances of them actually getting into CC while being pelted with lascannon and plasma ammo is slim at best. Nids have practically NO ranged units ( they have a few and only 1 or 2 decent ones though)

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

Is that really a problem? :P thats were strategy comes in :P
I was in games workshop talking to the weird guy who thinks hes legolas and he was saying that the next race to be added to DoW will be Nids or Necrons *shudders* I hope its Nids i hate necrons XD LOL

[BOSS]Squall · Clan Leader

well necrons are in WA already but iv'e not heard anything bout nids...t would be really cool pitting my ultramarines agains a hive of nids though :P

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

Augh, necrons already? x.x *shudders* I hate necrons, Ian would use Necrons XD LOL Fenix knows what i'm on about. That guy was such an arse XD
But Nids, yeah, you know i'd always use them :3

The 'Nid players you play against obviously don't use Hormagaunts (hate the bastards...) they move too fast to effectively rapid-fire them (or get more than 1 or 2 turns of heavy weapon shooting in) and then they tie marines down in CC and block their lines of fire until the big bastards arrive. And have you seen the new "Living Ammunition" rules? Bloody re-rolls.

Actually I'm not quite sure why I'm defending the 'Nids as I've creamed Adam's swarm with my Eldar so many times he's given up and now plays Chaos instead...

And Squall's right As, Terminators would crush Genestealers most of the time unless the Tyranid player rolled a lot of 6s for his Rending Claws. What sort of Ultramarines army do you use anyway, BTW Squall? Spam Terminators and Devastators? LOL

And yeah Necs are probably the most spammable army ever. So I treat them to Starcannons like they deserve. Tin-plated bastards XD

[BOSS]Squall · Clan Leader

i do put alot of emphasis on my heavy weps. the first think i do after the core choices is deploy my 2 devestators (consist of 1 lascannon 1 plasma 3 RL and 2 hbers) then i get my dreadnought in (lascannon and missile launcher) then i go with my others lol. My terms i only use in big points matches cos there to expensive points wise to use in small skale battles

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

Your all strange.

[BOSS]Fenix · RP Expert

@ Asreal - LOL you only just notice?

@ Squall - And what about the commander? DO you use Marneus Calgar himself or "Captain Squall" with a katana (power sword?) and plasma pistol?

No, i noticed a long time ago. I'm just saying :p

[BOSS]Squall · Clan Leader

command squad...is what id normally say lol but i think its the apothicary that is now a seperate squad so i use

commander

techmarine

standard bearer

emperors champion (used as another model cant remember which one)

and something else

id tell you more specifics but i really cant find my codexes or my army list XD

[BOSS]Fenix · RP Expert

I think I'll start another thread where people can compare their 40K armies, just for interest.

*goes to dig up Eldar, Space Marine and Chaos army lists*

EDIT - Wait, hang on, Techmarines form their own squads now, don't they? Rather than being attached to the Command Squad?

[BOSS]Squall · Clan Leader

yea lol...i knew it was either the apothacary or the techmarine. So its everything there but with apothacary instead of techmarine. i woulda known but i really cant be bothered digging out my codexes and rule books

[BOSS]Fenix · RP Expert

And when was the last time you looked at the actual models?

[BOSS]Squall · Clan Leader

...beats me XD

nah lol i looked at them about a week ago...i was looking at the painting and thinking "oh my god my painting sucks" apart from my last painted squad (assaults) there ace

[BOSS]Fenix · RP Expert

I know, I've got better since I started collecting too. I've also developed a need to convert just about every model (have gone particularly nuts with the CSMs as they're almost all plastic), and I'm kinda disappointed that most of the current Eldar models are single-piece metal (which only gives a few boring poses and is a pain in the arse to convert). Looking forward to the new Rangers though - I'm gonna build a Kill Team!

The new Rangers are going to be plastic, right?

Im sorry guys, but no one can match the power of the Necrons....and the unstoppable Monolith

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

Omg your alive!! Hey there RF.
And no, necrons, like eldar, must die XD

[BOSS]Fenix · RP Expert

I'll let you off with that comment for once As since you're a Dark Eldar now and we hate each other on principle.

Urgh, Necrons...please don't get me started on the most spammable AND boring army in the history of 40K.

And as for the Monolith most Eldar units are fast enough to stay away from its 6" movement and 12" range weaponry (well, 24" if you count the Particle Whip) so it doesn't matter that it's unstoppable as it can neve bring its unstoppableness to bear (well, maybe against some opponents, but my Eldar army is quite mobile)

Plus its not unstoppable - okay, so Bright Lances can't kill it but Vibro Cannons, D Cannons, Wraithcannons, Prism Cannons and Wraithlords in assault can. And its screwed if the army phases out.

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

Plus the fact that everyone i despise uses necrons - Ian *shudders* and whats his name Steve or something, (one of the guys down in bournemouth that rp's with Ralix and Timber, and me when i'm there. That guy was such a wise ass XD LOL)
