DPs are nice fire support on the cheap and Fiends are always awesome. Adding 1 more unit of Bletters and Fiends is the obvious pick for going up to larger games.<br /><br />Magnets might be an option for your wing woes, though those big hunks of metal may not be ok with it. Pinning and liquid cement may be the way to go, that and veeery careful storage and transport.<br /><br />Lemme know how it works out.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519937685089365825.post-40657260700619563242010-08-02T18:30:01.014-04:002010-08-02T18:30:01.014-04:00Thanks for posting this up Chumbalaya.

Daemon cav in particular looks interesting.<br /><br />On a side note, what's the best method for attaching a LoC's wings ?

Massed fire can hurt, which is why you'd bring 3 of them along with a good number of Tzeralds and Fiends.

I can almost always use two/turn, and that really helps.<br /><br />BrentBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519937685089365825.post-72716844487549222232010-08-01T14:08:17.307-04:002010-08-01T14:08:17.307-04:00I have to concur with the assessment of the Lord o...I have to concur with the assessment of the Lord of Change.<br /><br />He's 'meh' in combat and shoots poorly. If you really want a shooty HQ, get a Herald of Tzeentch on Jetbike with Bolt and Gaze, the ability that lets you shoot both, and then consider the power weapon for tarpit duties against lighter troops in a pinch. You get TWO of these for the price of one Lord of Meh with Wings.<br /><br />I've honestly not had a hell of a lot of luck with the Tzeentch princes. They're ok at shooting, but the T5/4+ is 'eh', and buying the 3+ armor just drives the price up more. They're only ok at assault, too, but the 'eh' factor really comes into play against anything S4+ coming en masse. You just don't have the save or toughness to weather that for long, even with four wounds.<br /><br />Plaguebearers are a solid core, but the advice of Bloodletters is fairly solid, since they ARE capable of knocking great chunks out of the enemy.AND don't fight for Elites slots that want to bring fast stuff.Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.com
