Footslogging army

Slow? 3 Talos+Fire&Fade are 7+D6+8"

And can't assault after doing so.

Also, I don't think it's a good thing when you need to use a stratagem to make a supposedly-fast unit actually fast.

Grotesques still 6)7"+D6.

So 1" faster than a marine, then? And, as above, if you get that d6 then they're also guaranteed to not be in assault.

But the thing is these guys are freaking ROCKS! Bring some suppression fire, or fast stuff and you will be fine. They will.come in the second turn anyway.

They're tough, sure, but I'm not a fan of that strategy. Sorry, just not my thing.

You will not charge with 3 Talos at first turn anyway.

Anyway (again) I was talking about footslogging army of course

Advancing is great and Fire and Fade is as well if you need too.

Grots and Talos almost never charge turn 1, so advancing is almost a must, unless you are fighting against someone that went first and moved close to you. But then you dont need to advance or fire/fade lol.

Im not sure about how foot kabslites are going to handle themselves. But if anyone give it a try, let us know!

But i know how walking wyches are going to do... they are going to get MURDERED.
Ive seen how fast ork boys go away, and wythces aint going to do any better. They are simply going to get annihilated, long before they reach anything.
Maybe MSU units could do better.? I dont know.

But if i should make a foot army, i would steer clear of wyches.

That's not what my tests are saying do. People don't focus Wyches normally

Able to assault turn one is not required to be consider 'fast'. Turn one assault units are their own category, and typically involve some outside aide.
Red grief reavers are fairly special for being to do that with only the faction ability.

I assume only in their first game.

Actually is the 5th and still kept them alive.

Seriously, they are not the dangerous target from my list. Opponents doesn't want to focus them (I whish they will..).

I assume you include a big unit of grotesques or Talos?

Nope, Grots and Talos attract heavy fire, where wyches attracts light medium fire.
I played more lists, yes I used Grots before. But I find the thing up here.
Then i tried Reavers, Hellions and they works well enough. And then I found that even FS Venoms works in that way.
I played 3 Ravagers, 5 Venoms, Scourges and 20-20-20 wyches. Even if I lose them, I still have enough units to keep up the game.
