I find that these days, even a quick update is tough to shoot out. Between two game lines and my painting goals, writing an article just isn’t something I have a lot of time for. So I apologize for my slow updates.
I headed down to Frontline Gaming this weekend and got a couple of games in. I learned a lot, especially getting thrashed royally by Israel’s Tau. The new Forge World editions really help those blue skins out!
In the last couple of weeks, I have refused to change my army list. The goal was to learn to play the list, finding all the tricks I could. It was as “refined” as I wanted it, and I promised myself I wouldn’t make any massive changes. I feel I’ve kept to that promise. I have, however, made a few adjustments.
First, I found that the Plasma Siphon just never mattered. Even when plasma was flowing into my units the attacker was more than 12″ away. So I dropped it, in favor of a Warding Staff in my Terminator Squad. It was a small change, after all. I played 3 games with it, and found that I rarely used the grenades that the Xenos Inquisitor was carrying, as well. When I did, I usually didn’t even need them!
Which brings me to the thrashing by Israel down at Frontline Gaming. Oh man did he wreck my dudes. I really took a long hard look at my army list, and I think I found the issue. Coteaz. I just don’t need him at all. I originally dropped my GK librarian in favor of Coteaz, because I thought all I used the Libby for was the Pysmastery 2. Losing Deep Strike was a far larger hit than I thought.
So now I’m back to the Librarian. It’s not a big change, but it is making a world of difference. The list now looks like this:
GK Librarian w/ 2 Servo-Skulls, Psybolt, Master-Crafted Weapon
10 Terminators w/ 2 Psycannons, Banner, Nemesis Warding Stave, Psybolt Ammunition
10 Grey Knights w/ 2 Psycannons, 1 Nemesis Daemonhammer, Psybolt Ammunition, Rhino
10 Grey Knights w/ 2 Psycannons, 1 Nemesis Daemonhammer, Psybolt Ammunition, Rhino
Company Command Sqauad w/Lascannon
Platoon Command Squad w/Rocket Launcher
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon
Infantry Squad w/ Lascannon
Vendetta
Aegis Defense Line w/ Quad Autocannon
