fluger Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 To be clear, I have no issue with people bringing the best list they can to a competitive event. I just have no idea what I would do against a list like that with the tools I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I helped him prepare and yeah list is super brutal! Fun times had tho. Zombies to objective grab and protect. I forgot about the zombies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Also I edited and added stuff about the Knight. And no criticism just a comment about how dangerous that list is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 To be clear, I have no issue with people bringing the best list they can to a competitive event. I just have no idea what I would do against a list like that with the tools I have. Surprisingly, the whirlwind suppression force really shined against it, mostly letting me target specific key models. Due to the practice tho we found the weak spots and did some figuring to overcome. Those thuds punished most everything, rapiers busted vehicles well, voids protected zombies, zombies protected thuds and void shield generator. Overlapping synergistic protection made this a super hard nut to crack. Deamonology to generate a quick unit or two specifically for itc style missions. When we were playing obsec everywhere was like my only hope, that and the couple of obsec dreads I took. I had to get lucky to hang and challenge, given his experience with the list and the unique weaknesses, I was sure he would do well, lining up for a one off game with that would be almost impossible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I was sure he would do well, lining up for a one off game with that would be almost impossible. I liked how it basically erased most of the advantages top tier lists had. It just also happened to be tailor-made to clear out swathes of cheap infantry.

VonVilkee Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 VonVilkee when are you gona be at a tuesday night game? Back into 40k and need people to play. TW Well that is awesome to hear! Tomorrow I'm busy but next week consider it game on! Back on topic, Gareth did allot of research on the top lists and enlisted people to actually play them a bit against him. I was actually rocking a white scars gladius with battle company a bit, with rhinos instead of drop pods. It was an experience, looking forward to tweaking it a bit more and toning it down a bit for regular play. That whirlwind suppression force is awesome and at 2k I can get the third whirlwind for rending... Obsec on like everything including dreads makes me super happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_devil Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yes. A big shout out to Corey for helping me playtest. I'm not as much of a tournament regular as I used to be. A few of the guys whom have been around for awhile remembered me and we had fun reminiscing. Glad I could bring it home for Ordo Fanaticus and my local warhamsters. See you guys at Vegas! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I got an email saying the results were posted, but all I got when I followed the link were the pairings for rounds 1 and 5. OK, actually up now. Wow. I knew I did fairly well, but didn't think I was up at 7th out of 46. My paint score is about 20 points higher than I was expecting, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, awesome to see how well you did. Great research and list development, glad we were able to suss out the couple of weaknesses it had. Not that they were tough to cover up! Super well done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Being my first TSHFT, I would have to say it is an awesome experience. The 4 rounds in the first day is kind of brutal though. Placed 25th, so I am happy with that. I know of a few things that need to get changed in the list. So we will see how things go the next time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Placing 20th felt right. I know I could've played much better in two games, but I still don't feel like my list has any answers for tournament eldar. I think a Big Mek Stompa will help a lot though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the right list he will almost never die with all the repair rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I fought one at OFCC and I kiled everything BUT that thing and I was trying from turn 2 until turn 6. So. Yeah. They are hard as hell to kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be quite honest, a LOT of armies have no real answer to a well-built Eldar list, so you're hardly alone in that regard.But the Mek Stompa, as well as possibly a few more solo models for scoring Maelstrom (Deffkoptas being the preferred choice, though Buggies can serve) would help out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the buggies are mostly there for linebreaker and being pesky. I'm actually considering dropping one of each and just leaving them as solo units. Frees up 50 pts.

WestRider Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Glad you guys had fun out there! Yeah, the vibe actually really reminded me of when I first started getting into the tournament scene back in 3rd (before finishing college and starting real life derailed things for a while), and everything felt exciting in 40K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
