Some of the cables snapped before I even got them out of the spure!<br /><br />My solution was a rather odd looking proxy model, made with a Scourge's legs and torso and some spare Talos bits.RokuroCarisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201440533732323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-12385289748068339332014-10-30T19:53:35.274+00:002014-10-30T19:53:35.274+00:00Just started reading your reviews and thoroughly e...Just started reading your reviews and thoroughly enjoy them so far.

It's a shame you can't take a webway with him or he'd be a guaranteed choice. <br /><br />I ran 20-man kabalite squad with webway haemonculus today at it showed great potential. Since they're in reserve they start with at least FNP 5+ when they arrive on T2. <br /><br />Incubi for me have always been a glass cannon.

Their shardcarbines are handy but 10 of them in a raider is over 300pts which is enough for two squads of kabalites which put out more firepower. <br /><br />Personally I think Archon, 3-4 sslyth and a medusa arriving by webway is the way to go. sslyth fire off their poisoned shots and medusa flames. Then they sslyth let the archon survive a round of shooting and get into combat where he belongs.From The Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043549318855295914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-4941870085581522602014-10-09T20:58:04.073+01:002014-10-09T20:58:04.073+01:00I still think the Archon can be good.

Not too expensive and if you put them in reserve they will be quite resistant when entering the table. By turn 4, with Fearless, they will be a very difficult unit to remove for their price. You can even use a webway portal and three blasters for trolling a bit.<br /><br />I think 5 incubi can make the same work and perhaps better than an archon or a succubus. Except, maybe, an archon with Sslyths or a succubus with grotesques.Paunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-67044040266551485042014-10-08T13:41:29.167+01:002014-10-08T13:41:29.167+01:00Why Archon and Sslyth as meat shields ... i will ...Why Archon and Sslyth as meat shields ... i will use their Shard Carbine to full extend 10 of them in Raider with Splinter racks ... as splinter racks give reroll to every splinter weapon ... that Deepstrinking 30 twin linked poisoned 4+ shot ... only downside is Ld3 if the transport goes kaboom you will fail your pinning check ... so i'm thinking 9 of them + heami with WWP and a flamer ?

Goodbye archon! I loved you for a while. Can't see any other replacements for him. Succubus not worth it, haemy doesn't for my play style. Mebbe the few remaining characters might be worth trying. Damn you GW I loved playing this army!NafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.com
