If we could set up a city fight table, we could get some really cinematic photos.<br /><br />Sean ~ I have indeed considered and even playtested the list with Urien. I really like him for wound allocation and the extra strength. The idea of getting stuck in combat with an av13 walker was giving me nightmares. The archon gives my anchor unit a shot at stopping a rushing stormraven or land raider with a bs7 blaster shot. The shadowfield and haywire grenades give him a chance against walkers. See my first game when I faced a furioso in a drop pod. The archon kept the dread from ever touching the grotesques.<br /><br />That being said, I do plan on making a Urien model to swap in and out when I feel like a change.<br /><br />I like the clawed fiend firstly for a modelling and painting opportunity. It's probably not the most competitive choice, but it does do some things for wound allocation. If I'm taking high str shooting wounds, I can give them to the clawed fiend and not risk losing a khymera, razorwing, or beast master.<br /><br />@ Ghostin ~ Thanks man. Eldar were on my radar also as a jetseer council is a sexy hobby project to me. I'm also fascinated by deathstars. To me, 40k is all about futuristic supersoldiers, gods of war, and alien monstrosities clashing in epic battle. Elite warriors should be clearing the battlefield. A wall of grotesques laughing off an entire necron army's firepower is memorable. A hive tyrant and its guards wading through a sea of orks is memorable. Five man squads zooming around in razorbacks and jumping out to melta stuff isn't memorable.hyv3myndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986893384791002364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-80266787481014126512012-03-14T18:50:44.176-04:002012-03-14T18:50:44.176-04:00Epic!

Would be fun to model an Eldar counts-as with this list. :-)Ghostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612442936351544336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-18685549923829499732012-03-14T18:42:43.240-04:002012-03-14T18:42:43.240-04:00Awesome stuff! I found this blog recently and Im ...Awesome stuff! I found this blog recently and Im really enjoying it.<br /><br />I have a few questions. Since you are using the huge grotesque unit... something Ive itched to do myself, why not use the special character to make them all base str 6 instead of the Archon?<br /><br />Not that I dont love the archon, I use her myself in my own webway foot list, though I rely on her mainly for the grenade launcher for my Incubi.<br /><br />Also what been your recent experiences with the Clawed fiend? Ive used them a bunch of times, back at first when I had them mixed in like yours into a large beast unit I felt that they were ok. Ive also tried an all clawed fiend unit. Mainly I stopped using them in favor of more birds. I just could never get the feeling that they were doing enough.<br /><br />Heres a link to some of my reports if you want some cross ideas: http://sean-letitallburn.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Your painting is gorgeous by the way!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324649177159529199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-78456228925988255152012-03-13T23:34:21.550-04:002012-03-13T23:34:21.550-04:00Another great battle report.

I thought they seem to be a solid army, wraiths are very hard to kill.PoliticalOfficerKradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00758176395705962499noreply@blogger.com
