Thank You Dardman, this is my playtester partner, and belive me he's seen me lose bad to others while I played the Slann.

  Eivind,
  I agree with you the Slann are tough to beat. They can be beaten though. In my opinion they are the strongest army anyway you look at it. Their only weakness is lack of numbers. The same as Squats but Squats lack some other things that make them on par with other armies.
   
  To beat Slann you need good dice rolls for you and bad rolls for the Slann player. Also you need a lot of fodder so Imperial guard is probably the best to play against Slann. Don't bother CC with the the Mechs. You have to take them out with advanced fire so you need a support company that can blast away. Use lots of rough riders and bikes. Their infantry are susectible to barrages so take some heavy artillery. I lost to the Slann twice but beat them outright once and was winning once when we called it quits at 1pm (this was with IG and my dice rolls were average). You got to hate those damn mantis missiles or disruptor missiles or whatever they are called. My other win was a small game of 2000 pts and I used Space Marines.
   
  The moral is: They can be beat but you need the right composition and not be afraid to suffer casualties. But as I stated before they are the best overall army.
   
  Darius
