| Gorgon assault companies are a blast to use. While powerful, I haven't seen them to be overly so. Use TK weapons to keep the infantry outside, then use mobility to hit them on the edge. Eldar give me fits with clipping all the time. Use positioning to enter combat on your own terms. |

| I like that list a lot more. If you run more AA platforms I would go with Heavy-AA ones. I was not originally a believer, but the 60cm range is a bigger deal than you might think. Since you are running a bunch of T-bolts the hydras will be just fine. Marine players will think twice before aerial ass... |

| Interesting list but I do think a few tweaks can be done. I play Krieg quite a bit (ironic I know), and I don't think the extra infantry platoon is necessary, especially with the inclusion of the thunderers. Krieg infantry formations are big enough to be extremely resilient. I don't think I have had... |

| The Krieg list is definitely slanted towards offensive play. Baran siegemasters are much more defensive if you want that. However, I am seeing what I can do. I put together a large number of weapons platforms, and will look to see how they perform. I have played a little with the Heavy AA platforms,... |

| @Dughan I like playing aggressive. I haven't been bothering with too many support batteries b/c they get ripped up by void spinners. I did manage to put together a more defensive 11 activation list ( I am still not sure how I did it :) that I am going to use against Brian. I might try to put that on... |

| @Jaldon Thanks for your thoughts on my feedback. I really appreciate the playing advice as I don't want to give new players bad tips. I am going to need to stress screening units again. After talking with the other experienced player in my local group we are going to playtest the +1 to rally rule fo... |

| The first time for merging was with 9.2.1 rules, but we kind of modified them since it was Monty's first game. After that we dropped merging and used fixed formations because that is the direction I saw from Jaldon's post. The initiative and modifiers have been slightly off in use, but I am now goin... |

| Most of the games have been with 9.2.1. The last game was with Onachus. Some of the games we played with the following: 1+ Synapse, 2+ Independents, 3+ synapseless, +1 engage, +1 rally. This was before we realized that all mods had been removed. I do think the "ignore the -2 for being broken&qu... |

| General Thoughts: Synapse – I have found it is too easy to kill synapse for Warriors (and the like) to stay at LV. The expendable rule means that a change in type probably shouldn’t be overpowered. Supreme Commander – There should be an option for a non-Dominatrix Supreme Commander. I propose hive t... |

| Thoughts on Special Rules: Initiative 1+/Strat 1- These seem fine to me. The 3+ for synapsless swarms seem to work out well as the unit is really chewed up by that point anyways. At that point their use will be to burn activations, screen, and/or consolidating onto objectives. Expendable - I think t... |

| Hello, I have been doing some play testing of the ‘Nids and thought I would pass on the thoughts my group has come up with. Our new guy picked up a nice looking ‘Nid army off of Bartertown and I have been teaching him how to play. I want to thank you all for the work done in developing these lists. ... |

| Krieg lists also use Stormblades. You can always house rule missile racks (2BP, 45cm, Indirect, one shot, for 25pts per SHT) if your opponent is willing. I am not sure what the original stats were for the previous editions. Makes them similar to the heavy mortars on the Gorgon Siege Transport. You c... |

| I think defensive play can work well. AA platforms are rather good and cheap. You should put heavy AA on the T&H objectives, and use hydra platforms to defend the blitz. Putting them on overwatch is a great way to burn activations. I have heard good things about artillery companies since you can... |

| How are the Marauder Destroyers in the list? 2 bombers with 4+ saves and a sizable amount of standoff weaponry seems like a steal at 275 points. |

My current list is: Reg HQ w/Gorgons Inf Co w/Gorgons Death Rider Co 2 Heavy Tank Platoons (Vanqs) SHT Co - Shadowswords Grenadiers w/Centaurs 2 T-bolt flights I pretty much designed this list around having every unit be resilient in one fo... |
