Have enemy tanks crossed your radar yet? Once they do, i think you'll find that you need a new list (or codex, more accurately). I don't blame you; it's the book. At 1,750 you'll be going up against 1 or 2 crusaders or more chimeras/vendettas than the vomit threshold. For a fun army, fine, for a competitive army.... different codex.

writing it off as uncompetitive before a single major tournament has been played with the new rules is a tad premature, don't you think?

No, to be honest, I don't think so. It's pretty easy to see how this book will do in the competitive circuit. Please send me your list, though. I'll show you how unbelievably dreadful the standard of play is for this book, even when your build is 'tooled' (using this term very, very subjectively, of course). Any half-decent player can see the potential of a codex without requiring a 'major tournament'. Reading works just fine. Please, though, in all seriousness, let's see the list.

call me a troll after you test your lists verses any one of mine, lol. i'd *love* to see one of your DE lists vs IG.

 

[Ragnar]

Cool.
I'll have to check your lists to see just how powerful they are then.:grin:

assuming you get the crucible within 3D6", you'll kill 2 psykers from the squad. i'm pretty sure i can still pull a win out of that catastrophe.

hahahahahahahahaha
wow, that was funny.

I guess that's his way of being 'helpful' :?

lol.

I think if you weed through the sarcasm, though, what he says is true, imo.
