Wanted to respond Tues after talking to Connor about your list and coming up with suggestions, forgot.<br /><br />Love your attitude of refusing to take what others take. That speaks to my core.<br /><br />Think deployment can help your existing list to be more effective. What about using Drop Pods against the way they are usually played in your area/meta? Instead of offensively how about defensively?<br /><br />Say placing your objectives deep in your deployment zone. Drop pod lands in front of them say 6" then unit deploys out and stands on objective in terrain. Are Thunderfire Cannons used in your meta? I love the model. Would suggest looking into it.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-36954042345893487712013-05-21T21:16:21.279-05:002013-05-21T21:16:21.279-05:00eh, nothing major. I have a personal rule of &quo...eh, nothing major. I have a personal rule of "If everyone else thinks it's awesome, I refuse to take it", which isn't terribly conducive to victory. I'm a very tactical player, but I refuse to use any strategy (army list design) and I don't minimize the effect of poor dice. So my losses are mostly my fault. Hence the jealousy. lol!<br /><br />To give you an idea of my army- My Blood Angels are two TAC squads in Rhinos (tac, and rhinos, both the opposite of the common conception), led by a captain with a Thunderhammer, escorted by 2 Flamestorm Baals (flamestorm, not assault cannons, again opposite the common), and a Destructor (who needs lascannons?). I do have two ASS squads and a single Vindie, plus a Furioso dropping in a pod, and THOSE are the effective part of my force. But they're not enough for this army to stand up to any opponent actually designed to win a game. But I have fun with it anyway.agemmanjwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584348604301217214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-43651111988158941412013-05-21T18:45:43.067-05:002013-05-21T18:45:43.067-05:00Thanks, agemmanjw.
I also feel bad about lording ...Thanks, agemmanjw.<br /><br />I also feel bad about lording over Eldar. Damnit my Purifiers need some love.<br /><br />So far this has been the hardest army to learn. Probably because of all my years playing Xenos. Thanks again.<br /><br />What list are you running? Perhaps I can help.<br /><br />Glad to hear my victories are getting some reaction.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-5970331513327323382013-05-21T17:07:35.899-05:002013-05-21T17:07:35.899-05:00Nice job!

(I feel so dirty with that being an Eldar player myself. But not right now! Mwahahahaha!)<br />I'm happy to hear that you're feeling more confident with your army. It takes time and learning the tricks, and it appears that you're doing a great job there. I, sadly, haven't won a game in a month now. But then I design very poor armies and play to play rather than to win. Maybe I should start trying... I'm jealous of your victories! :-)agemmanjwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584348604301217214noreply@blogger.com
