good idea or not?

[Deleted]

hi,

i came up with this weird as idea for my armoured company so can you please help me to decide if it is good or bad:

having 5 demolishers all in one big line up front and having 2 basilisk sitting in both the back corners

is this any good?

[Deleted]

well i'm new to this whole thing, but even i can see that a set up like that probably wouldnt be much fun to play against, or maybe to play either.

I didn't vote as there is no 'bad idea' option.

This sounds like it would be fun for the occasional friendly match, but if you use it too often, you'll quickly run out of people to play against

Try an Apoc game. 5 Demolishers and 2 basilisks would fit in nicely there.

*edit* It does sound like an ungodly amount of fun though. I say give it a try

[Count Elakor]

Great idea, for powergaming. its not the most funn thing to do, and its sertanly not oponent friendly, peopls gona get pissed if you use it to often

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

I would also suggest some Leman russ and varients, maybe a Vanquisher or two for the armoured cracking shells.

Lots of people don't like it when you use list that are only pseudo-legal to begin with, but playing them sheerly for winning is a definate no-no.

Make sure you play with a friend. It's good for a friendly game but it might upset some opponents. It also wouldn't be tremendously viable against a well balanced list especially under 5th ed rules. It'd be funny though. That's a lot of blast templates. ;D

[sammy1979]

balance smalanch! its a great idea!
maybe take the smug grin off all those smurfy scumbags with there awesome characters and new guns and nonsense sternguard etc.
"yeh great they got all that new stuff stats and power armour, but you got pie plates, and it don't matter how hard they are! when you drop them on there pedro cantar/stern guard/nerd guard, grenade launching, point cheap, tin plated newb loving smurfs" your going to have fun!

so in short do it, in fact we should all do it, more armoured compainies that will show them

[Rolling Thunder]

Awesome. 3-Demolisher armies are a truly spectacular exersise in murderous foul play- 5 demolishers will wee your opponent sobbing into his beverage as his troops are engulfed in a wave of godless tank fire.

Its a fairly good idea, but me being an AC player, I appreciate the range of the typical Battle cannon. Get at least 3 regular Leman Russes in the mix with that to offset your short range power. I even have 2 vanquishers (96") to reach out and touch someone

Trust me, range 72" gets addicting, so does 96... You'll love out gunning people with their firepower.

Good for destruction, not so good for objectives, also there are only 7 targets to go after, each loss will be devestating. I see this working the first time, but anyone that knows you will be running AC should be prepared. Fun to see the look on the opponents face, but only on a rare occation
