I don't think the drop army of doom (as TRC calls it) is anywhere near as powerful as most think especially against veteran players who have played against similar lists before.They usually hit hard on first turn (as most air assault armies do) then struggle to hold on onto their lead.
Heh, it's never failed me
Facing that set up I would probably be able to break the stuff in the deployment zone with the suicide drop. Amasing the stompas are just where I always put the orbital barrage if not playing corner to corner
I just hit the whole deployment zone, don't bother with trying to guess about garrisons.I keep the warhounds grouped up more on a flank, as has been noted play corner to corner (to mess up the distances for my opponent) and place the objectives a lot better. They should be 30cm appart, preferably right on a flank or as close to the blitz as can be and max 30cm in. Idea is to have an easy group of objectives to get with the airborne/warhounds.
If I had the scouts painted I would be taking it the CC to demonstrate to others
The hitting hard first turn is enough. The fast warhounds can clean up broken formations and when you break enough and then get your activations armies don't come back. Even if they do the object placement means my infantry can have an easier time taking it.
In this situations the Warhounds, though deployed in the open? (why not behind the hills?) should be able to take the garrissons. They are pretty far apart though which is a curious choice when facing air assaulters.
