:angry: I've been playing a friend of mine who runs Vanilla Space Marines. And I've been running into a problem every game. He runs an extremely expensive Terminator Assualt Squad with a Space Marine Terminator Captain in a Land Raider Crusader, about 750 points altgoether. Honestly...they beat the hell out of me. I have no answer. We even set up the equivalent of what Chaos can run (Abby w/4 Termie Champs in the LR) just a little test battle to see how it would fair just against it. We found that if I get the charge and fire everything I have, including the LR weapons, after the assault, I win by 1. If he gets the jump, after the same assault, I lose all termies and even Abbadon sometimes.
That unit ran about 700 points and it seems that unless it gets the charge, it's eventual suicide against his unit.
We talked about the only answer chaos have for this. I figure my best chance is to get 3 squads of 3 Oblits, and fire at them until the LR is popped. Then run in a rhino with some Marines to make him charge them....and THEN have my LR with Abby charge in. Or I could run a squad of raptors with Melta and try a suicide jump.
I'm at a loss...I dont have 9 oblits, so I've yet to try that method. I also have no raptors, so haven't tried that either. I had 5 chosen in a rhino come on the board and bust a predator...but his Land Raider cam next turn and demolished them.
How does Chaos counter these kinds of "Epic" sqauds? :ireful2:
