yep and huge units with multiple attacks!
Yep...
But the techmarine is confusing in combat...
You have to attack twice with power weapon...
then they strike...
the you get power fist attacks...
confusing...
P.S: I am scared of shrike...
:S :S :S
recently read shrike's rules, sounds fun!! (i'll have to make it a priority to capture him with my dark eldar!)
My next project is to buy 5 pairs of lightning claws, an assault squad, and make Shrike's wing, it will have a very high points cost, but with Shrike, the squad gets about 25 attacks, and can start 12" from the enemy deployment area, it sounds like a massacre waiting to happen.
theres a squad that'll get pounded with any and all heavy firepower your opponent has
Maybe I should deploy them in a Land Raider, transport them up the battlefield, and then assault out of it.
new rules say you cant assault on the turn you disembark, they'd get shot to pieces before you had the chance to attack :S
i suggest keeping behind some form of big (out of the line of sight) cover and jumping out when you know that theres a unit within assault range, even if that means you have to wait until they come to you
I'll use my Dark angels for covering fire...
(like that'll work)
1 second... can you assault the same turn you deep strike using the new rules? that would work as shrike and his wing can deep strike
Close combat with Eldar?
....bad idea.....
