The 'It has to die quick!!!' thread.

I agree with everything said except for maybe DE. I'm more inclined to say kill our transports first, starting with venom with blasterborn and then raiders. Since we know mobility is our best asset, why not take that asset away? Sure, 3 ravagers are pretty much 3 guaranteed kills a turn of vehicles, but once our vehicles are taken out, their progress won't be near as devastating. Plus any blaster toting warriors allowed to get close means that many more shots at us. If anything, I'd just aim to stunlock the ravagers and pop the transports because walking warriors aren't near as scary as flying ones. Same thing for wyches. But that's just my two cents.

For DE, kill warrior and wych transports first. The poor save and low leadership translates to lots of dead models and failed pinning tests. Blasterborn are easily outranged by raiders and ravagers. Ravagers are going to hurt our vehicles, but will do minimal damage afterwards with only three shots a turn. And then assault anything that shoots still remaining, especially warriors and blasterborn.

see I would disagree there. DE main strength is their high number S8 Shots, which translates into the correct way to kill other DE. Take out their main AT (ravagers, Blasterborn) and the rest of the army has almost no way of hurting you one bit. Sure Incubi and wyches are scary, but not if we are in our nice paper airplanes and keep moving 12" every turn. Plus like a true DE, if any of your transports happen to blow up, well they didnt deserve to live anyway
