more stupidity

so I've been trying to think of the most resilient way to punish armies who bring overwhelming amounts of str 7 firepower instead of investing in melta/lascannons and the below came to mind.

Its similar to my Kharne Air list, but with no Kharne. Instead we have two supah beefy combat monster Daemon princes, 3 av 12 mech flyers and 2 land raiders with scoring fodder inside them.

cultists hide until its safe, vendetta does the same thing with plasma-vets once the drakes and princes clear the way.

Princes hide behind the Raiders turn 1, then either walk up behind them or swoop forward, depending on what the other army does. Turn 2 brings the pain. I'de like to find points to put in an aegis line and a coms relay, but i just can't find them.

I imagine it might be fairly frustrating to play against for some armies, others would chew it up, but i think i'de take my chances.

feels silly, I think you may get overwhelmed by any list with 50+ models.

On the other hand, you may dominate teh hell outa the skies.

hmm, not overly worried about horde armies, i figure those would be the easier enemies to tear down, flame flame flame + black mace stupidity.

More worried about armies that can reliably crack the raiders or bring down fliers

I think you'd still have troubles with my AV13 spam list.

Oooh, thems fightin words!

it does sound like a challenge. couple weeks maybe. i've got something different in mind for the may tourney.

I had a Daemon Prince more than make his points back today. They aren't a bad investment. (Especially when you boon them three times before sending them in :-P Hatred and FnP made him a shade more beastly)
