“Engage in combat fully determined to die and you will be alive; wish to survive in the battle and you will surely meet death.” Uesugi Kenshin
Some examples of half of your army:
- Half of your army
This is quite simply the idea of letting half your army be massacred (not without a fight of course) so the other half can get the advantage. It is a very risky tactic. It can lure your opponent into a false sense of victory and when he makes a mistake, you can act upon it. This is best used when you have some powerful and fast assault units in reserves or out of site for the majority of the game (see Reserves 104 for example). A similar list can be made by combining a large mass of cheap Imperial Guardsmen backed up by Leman Russes and Hellhounds (and don't worry about blowing up your own guys).
Hey, thanks for posting the link to your blog on Bell of Lost Souls.
ReplyDeleteI started playing Necrons (and 40K) about 4 months ago and am still trying to learn to play them effectively. Your force list and reserves tactics look good, and I look forward to trying them.
I just picked up the codex for Imperial Guard and will be building an army with them soon; I think I'm going to rest the Necrons until we get a modern codex, and IG is getting a lot of love right now. I'll need to take the advice to sacrifice units to heart. :P
Thanks again!
