he has a thunderhawk though :(
No points values? Even just totals for each squad is useful.
Drop a few Dreadnoughts, Terminator squads and maybe a CSM squad or two. You're going to need to be pretty brutal to kick 4k points. You've got a LOT of warm bodies on the ground, don't be afraid to take less of each.
didn't post generic points as i thought it was against GW's copyright rules(?)
its gonna be difficult to drop the points, but i may need to re-cost the list firt to double check how much i need to lose!!
Individual point costs aren't allowed; totals are okay. Apparantly individual point costs are the devil because someone could dismantle a list and bypass needing a codex <_<
Aaahhh!
i reckon i need to drop 2k not 3-4(phew)
still need to be fairly brutal tho..
should be able to post my 'final' list later on today as the game is on monday!!
opening post amended as my opponents total is 12115pts
(including his thinderhawk!!)
my total is now 12114pts!!
any hints/tips from you seasoned apoc vets??
The Thunderhawk will be trouble. No doubt he'll take it with the bomb pylons and the Laser Destructor, which basically makes this a flying Titan-killer and infantry-mower that can only be hit with 6's. I'd put your Predator Annihilators on Thunderhawk duty, the TL lascannons will help land those htis and they penetrate on a 4+.
Strategic Assets? Expect your opponent to pull utter pr*ck moves, like Flank Marching twenty TH/SS Terminators onto your rear edge. Focus your fire on pie-slingers and deathstar assault units, he'll undoubtedly have some way to get his killer assault units into your squishy bits, and stopping that is a priority, but he will still lose if you're holding the objectives. Proliferation of extremely powerful pie-plates means that objective holding can be very hard, it sweeps footsloggers off the board, and D-strength ones will all but vaporize most transports. Kill his big guns and any threats to yours, and you will have control of the board.
