As I said, simple tactics. There are a number o=
f counters though, which
a player of high ability will have that will cut t=
hrough them like
butter.
For example:
Assault Marines in Rhinos. Rhinos m=
ove 25cm in Assault (30cm -5cm),
disgorge AMs who move (10cm -5cm, then x3)=
15cm. Which means that if
they start out 40cm away, they're in CC before y=
ou get a shot at them
with your 30cm range stuff. With the LRs or Support W=
eapons taking out
all Ork Psykers within Cooee, the marines should have at =
least a +3 in
the assault.
We disallow shooting psychers and captian model=
s even with SHW unless they are the closest, it just gets to cheesy otherwi=
se. We use the monstor base rules with nids for targetting. A tyrant can't =
hide behind a bunch of termagaunts. Carnify do nicely however.
