For example, SM who use a librarian to fill an HQ choice, or my guard who brings a brother captin to play with Strakens squad. For a list like this I really wouldn't go out of my way to include physic defense.<br /><br />Their are enough physic powers in the game to make it a worth while addition, especally if you can find a secondary use for the physic defense.Darwinn69https://www.blogger.com/profile/11157612794328418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-70099319913830133772010-03-21T10:48:44.586-07:002010-03-21T10:48:44.586-07:00'Ard Boyz is weak sauce competitively, but it&...'Ard Boyz is weak sauce competitively, but it's hard to pass up a free tourney with lots of loot to be had. Since we're having the semis locally too, I don't even have to go anywhere unless I win both rounds.<br /><br />I think your Guard list would do just fine. I'm a big fan of Demos too and 6 Vendettas are just beefy.<br /><br />Re: Psychic defense, it's handy to have available, but far from essential. At 2500 your far more likely to have a free Elite/HQ slot and a couple points to spare.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-17887220170251447082010-03-20T21:33:15.816-07:002010-03-20T21:33:15.816-07:00Hmmm, maybe something like this:

Namely if in a vet squad you could take 3 melta guns max, and also happened to be able to take 3 flamers max. Then I'd think about having a squad that had the ability to do anti infantry and anti tank at the same time. But unless that kind of option exists anywhere having to choose one, the other, or a mix, one should always stay on the poles.<br /><br />As for psychic defense, I completely understand just kind of saying screw it, I'm not gonna spend the points on something that may or may not work, however, I've recently been worked over by bugs psychic powers and I'd be a bit wary of any army that can do a lot of damage to your low LD troopers. I'm thinking we are seeing the tip of the ice berg as far as really strong psychic powers and people may need to start seeing psychic defense as a necessity like magic defense in fantasy.<br /><br />I know you know guard, and I know you've played this list against all the top tier lists out there so I'll take your word on the fact that it is a rough and tumble list.<br /><br />I'd ask how you deal with the mirror, essentially how do you beat this list. And I'd also ask how do you deal with other fast mech lists that can do this or similar, I'm thinking at 2500 pts a mech eldar list should probably be pretty decent as you can throw a lot of points around. Gonna spend some time on one....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271532838678940318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-57597386617127893552010-03-20T20:12:56.572-07:002010-03-20T20:12:56.572-07:00I tend to agree re mixing units of Vets reducing e...I tend to agree re mixing units of Vets reducing effectiveness...but that's without having played Guard myself, only played against.<br /><br />Overall, I like the feel of the list. It'd be fairly competent I think, against 90% or more of the lists you are likely to hit. <br /><br />As an aside, how do you feel about swearing etc on the blog? I notice you didn't type retard in full...if you'd rather I ameliorate my language, just ask - it's not a huge deal.TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.com
