It's another reason I run the lord on a Reaver so often; very killy on his own, able to get support when needed.<br /><br />The trick with the Lord + Incubi is generally to pick your target wisely; know how much you can expect to kill of the opponent's squad, and go for one that will actually stand up enough to stick around so that you can finish them off in the next round. Fearless units can actually be a boon.<br /><br />As for Wych Cults, while I've never run one myself you're largely right. Lances and Dissies still come on all of your vehicles, and you can pack Lances into the now-Elite Warrior squads, but Wyches run about toting Blasters and punch things in the face. Same trick, though... at least Incubi have a 3+ save, Wyches are stuck with a 6+ so definitely don't let them get stuck out in the open.Anonymous Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362829012549159278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-14516458486206025032010-03-22T17:50:20.807-04:002010-03-22T17:50:20.807-04:00Neat summary, thanks.
In my limited experience wi...Neat summary, thanks.<br /><br />In my limited experience with DE, I've seen the super retinues kinda like any other death star. Sure they're killy, but in 5th they end doing a one-and-done routine, wiping a unit then getting pasted next turn. T3 is T3, after all.<br /><br />That said, I like the idea of the retinue. I've been on the receiving end of them and it wasn't pretty.<br /><br />If it were me, I'd probably just keep them cheap to take advantage of getting more heavy/special weapons and Raiders in the army. DE fill out the FOC fast, so more paper planes never hurt.<br /><br />How would an all Wych army work out? You swap out heavy weapons for blasters and punch people?Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.com
