Some interesting observations from this week’s game vs. Black Matt’s new Deathwing army, but more of that in a bit. 2K points, five objectives, and experimenting with my five tervigon list. Deathwing might be easy for most armies to deal with but for ‘nids they can be an uphill battle.
I know the trend today is to run all your termies on foot, but three land raiders as fire platforms, and mobile bunkers is really strong. I was pretty much eating las cannon shots the entire game since I had to focus on the terminators and not the bank ranks land raiders. Termies are also a hard nut to crack for nids since we have no AP1/2 and even my MC bounce off them with the 3+ invil save. Video battle report below, keep in mind that Matt and I are good friends so the all around trash talk is always in good fun…
So what did I learn? Tervigon spam sure is fun, but lacking some disruption units or alternate entry like outflank, deepstrike, or infiltrate means I have to walk across the table. One dimensional that basically relies on me overwhelming my opponent. Can I reliably do this each game? Maybe. Probably not against the new Grey Knight lists now hitting the BFS club- 6-9 psy razorbacks, 6 psy rifleman dreads, etc. I really need those back field units.
