Congratulations on your victory against the Slann. We have played
extensively against the Slann using Ork, Eldar, Space Marine/IG and Squats.
My problem lie with the fact that you want to fine tune them again. The
Slann don't need to be changed just because "was the most "cheesy" SM force
I have ever fielded". They are well balanced and your opponent made some
tactical errors. I crushed newest version Slann with orks and Squats and had
some sucess with IG and Space Marine. I don't win everytime but it is to the
point where if we make the Slann anymore expensive or reduce the number of
attacks why play them. He could only fire at your troops and not your
flyers. It seems you meant to take him out in CC with troops and sacrificing
your troops in drop pods to cause him to snap-fire, which I don't think he
can do since only infantry and AA weapons can snap-fire on drop-pods and
flyers. You had no tanks???? I took broke a frog pod with concentrated
firepower of nobz. My troops took the objectives and my opponent never FF
because if he did I would swarm him. I took serious casualties but one the
game because I held 3 of 4 objectives and most of his units. 2 of my 3 clans
were broken. My dice rolls were a little better than average but not great
and my opponents were average. The score was 58 to 35. This was a 5000 pt
game.
Slann must be played with a balance of fodder and firepower. You knew your
player and devise a way to beat him, commendable. BUT DON'T CHANGE THE SLANN
RULES OR EVEN SUGGEST IT OR WILL THE EMPEROR FOREVER CURSE YOUR ARMY.
