But good game nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>Replying to a few of your points:<BR/><BR/>I usually build army lists based on what models I like aesthetically. But I am putting some serious thought into what I need to field to deal with LRCs. I think I've only lost two battles in the past year (not that I play all that often) and they both involved a LRC!<BR/><BR/>Deffkoptas are pretty sweet. I might add some more to my army.<BR/><BR/>You totally ignored my tank! Half the reason I field that thing is to draw fire. But I think I could have been using it a lot more effectively, thus forcing you to deal with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105232498116579254.post-39480225932982589072009-03-04T13:01:00.000-05:002009-03-04T13:01:00.000-05:00The Crimson Fists won, but like I said, the game w...The Crimson Fists won, but like I said, the game was for fun, so I think we both won! He had only the nobz and gretchin as scoring units on two objectives by the start of turn 5 and I had seized two objectives and was on my way to killing the nobz with the LRC. So we agreed to stop playing in the interest of time. I credit the overpowered awesomeness that is the Land Raider Crusader for the victory. It really killed its weight in orks and controlled an entire flank by itself.<BR/><BR/>Next time I won't field one and see how the Fists do against the Green Skins without a LRC!<BR/><BR/>As for extra armour on dreads, I think you got it. My thought was maybe I could downgrade the hit and at least get away from the eventual charge. But all that happened was my Dreadnaughts blew up. I never even had the chance to downgrade!<BR/><BR/>Next time I think I'll try for Venerable instead. Better stat line and the ability to force a reroll seems more useful in the long run.Cawshis Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601093563919440680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105232498116579254.post-51391195561107131932009-03-04T12:20:00.000-05:002009-03-04T12:20:00.000-05:00I also am not so much a fan of Extra Armour on a D...I also am not so much a fan of Extra Armour on a Dreadnought. I've found that it's really only useful on Transports or other vehicles where it's more important to me that they can move than fire. With a Dread, it's just not worth the extra points to me; if it were a Rhino, it would mean something that it can continue moving its passengers.<BR/><BR/>Great run-down! One question, though: who won?MasterDarksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812633227566402070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105232498116579254.post-47497854490872105592009-03-04T12:14:00.000-05:002009-03-04T12:14:00.000-05:00Nice battle report!

While I don't mind playing AGAINST someone who has unpainted models, I get embarrassed fielding an unpainted force. But the new paint process is making things move a little faster.
