Kaoshin Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Oh that hunt, the hunt for a list that not only finds me my cake but lets me eat it too. After belatedly realizing my hazards+farsight+commander+shadowsun list was not going to work due to the deployment limitation imposed by the Infiltrate special rule and GW's FAQ it's time to take a look at what other models I rarely use. The Y'vahra while a gorgeous model (in my humble opinion) is definitely NOT for-fun games friendly. I did drop a pile of money on ghostkeels that never see the light of day and good 'ol Commander O'Rly. Here's a list taking those for a spin. Thoughts on how it might fit for OFCC? And yes, still bringing those breachers!

I bow before the unbridled majesty of your unmodified ranged D pie plates =P Although more seriously if you're saying this list is on the same level as that for OFCC that's something I need to address >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seems to play with them. they arent as "broken" as th Y'Varah suits are which is probably why, but its still odd. they are a lot of fun and they can take on lots fo different types of threats. Still iffy at best in melee (You'd think being an MC would be cool, but WS 2 is still what it is). I really like them. I play with 5-6 Stealthsuits in my units because I freaking love those models also. The list seems intelligent to me. anti air, anti-horde, anti-elite, lots of Obsec units, mobility and so on. Crisis for AV 14. I think it looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I'm not saying it would be easy but the titans only have 9hp with two av12 void shields and Av 12 rear armor. You know how many things can blow through 11 HP in a turn? D weapons only ignore cover on a 6 right? Scat bikes, squads of deathwatch frag launchers, grav, and lots of other things can take one down rather quickly.

InfestedKerrigan Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 But, yes, I would like to bring a singular Warhound this year, but this isn't the thread for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped running them soon after getting them due to them being unfriendly to the large number of new players I'd had in the area at the time. Said players have become all growed up since then though and this is kind of the last hurrah for the 'keels in 7th. As stealth suits go I have always loved the models though I generally have trouble fitting them into lists. In this case it was a mix of I didn't want to increase the power of the Optomized Stealth Cadre too much more by adding more stealth suits into the formation, and I wanted to take the remoras too which competes for that same 180 some-odd points.

Lord Hanaur Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 works for me. I'm not a Forge World fan but as far as the list goes, it works. i think you will do quite well with the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
