You know, Foot Slogging DE aren't great I know that, but let me ask you whats more resilient - 2 Venom's w/ FF's or 12 men with 3 Pain Tokens.......

Plus I haven't played with Talos in s00o long - time to bring them back me thinks! I'll blog games as they happen......

point is: a Venom delivers your portal 12"+2" + 3" (for the portal) the first turn and with the second turn, your units normally charge into combat the turn they arrive. Withou the Venoms, you need 2 turns of movement to get the same range - and your reserves are just able to get thru the WWP on turn 3...

With footsloggers you might be forced to deploy your reserves midfield - worst case: they have to walk the whole way because someone killed your whole lone Wrack-squad with a Leman Russ-template...

I applaud you trying out something new, however you really need a transport of some kind to deliver that WWP. Every turn its not on the board is a turn its being wasted.

I too commend you on trying a fresh approach. However, I would advise upping the number of Beast Packs to lock down enemy fire bases early.
