play testing for blog wars 3

well so far my list seems ok. all i can say is that i can certainly draw for objectives but kill points will offer a right headache for me... well it does for all nids list tbh.

i think i might have made a mistake with running deathleaper, so far he has hid in a building whilst doing bugger all... secondly he seems to die stupidly easily... oh matt ward why couldnt you write the nid codex... sorry a moment of weakness there.

warriors are possibly the best thing since sliced bread especially with boneswords... i think they are quite possibly the answer for palladins... ok maybe thats abit rose tinted specs but answer me this... who can stand up to a leadership on 3d6 or suffer instant death?

right best be going nids dont paint themselves annoyingly....

  1. Yeah - I'll be honest, I wasn't sure how well Deathleaper would perform for you...

    Given the special rules for UCs at BW3, I thought anything squishy might not be a good idea (hence me taking Swarmy). It will be interesting to see how it does against some random opponents.

    Completely agree with you about Warriors being Paladin killers - barring Tyrants Paroxysm'ing them, I think Lash Whip (you have to have Lash Whips because of Halbards) / Bonesword Warriors are our only way to effectively deal with Paladins.

    The problem I've found is delivering them...Paladins put out a whole heap of pain shooting at close range. A cheap Gaunt screen goes some way, but even then its still only a 4+ cover save against a ton of Stormbolters/Psycannons.

    1. well deathleaper was included just to make psychic tests for librarians that little bit harder but so far all i have played is necrons and dark eldar... to forces that really don't care about LD.

      i find lashwhip and bonesword not good enough on warriors just because LD 10 on 2d6 is rather easy to make. thats why i have adrenal glands on them.

      ah well maybe i should have taken old one eye for abit of fun even though he is stupidly slow and horrendously expensive
