But to be honest I prefer ignores cover not to be as widespread as it already is. <br /><br />The Grotesquerie is a coven formation, yes. 2 units of Grotesques and a Haemonculus receive something akin Combat Drugs and a better power from pain table.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199583732490727488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-25336393810478469162016-11-04T16:23:05.561+00:002016-11-04T16:23:05.561+00:00I have beaten Tau with Bike armies before, it is c...I have beaten Tau with Bike armies before, it is certainly tough, but not impossible. <br /><br />Getting the squad to WS1 for the Black Knights to attack is great. Just remember that Concussive only applies to models wounded by the Mace, not units, so only really of use against multi-wound models.

I think my White Scars should take a well deserved break so I can get more of my armies on the table.

Tau is an unwinnable matchup for that reason. <br /><br />And yea always remember concussive and blind in that mace. The IC has high initiative so will strike first against most opponents, and thus hopefully reducing your opponent instantly to initiative step 1 and WS 1 allowing the black knights to wipe them out before they strike back. It's a key comboDarren Tse & Angie Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429831011697107249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-30092859810442916692016-11-04T08:59:22.492+00:002016-11-04T08:59:22.492+00:00Great Batrep!

I've only managed to win once against them with extreme MSU.<br /><br />The Dark Eldar list was OK, but hardly an equal to a Ravenwing Strike Force (making excuses for my Dark Eldar brother here I know). <br /><br />Not sure if your opponent will be reading this, but I'd be interested in the reason for taking dark lances on infantry instead of blasters, not taking a Grotesquerie instead of 2 single squads of Abominations and finally for splitting off his Succubus.
