ADL w/Comm Relay

[Deleted]

What do you guys think about the viability of an ADL w/Comm Relay? You could toss 3 HG in it for 4+ cover and rerolling reserves would be nice for any army with plenty of DS/Ymgarls to put the pressure on asap. 70 points is a good chunk but I was thinking that getting more units in on turn 2 could reduce casualties from all your bugs marching across the board enough to make it worth it.

Thoughts?

well...compared to what?

I think I'd prefer the quadro-autocannon (for nids)

For IG and SM definitely the Lascannon.

For Daemons - comms relay.

For everything - I haven't got a clue.

What is ADL? Alberto Del Rio? Not fimiliar with 6th yet or the new stuff so don't know what the short hand stuff is. Also can the Nids use this or is it Autofire?

Aegis Defence Line. Gives units a 4+cv (2+ with venom) and with a Comm Relay it gives reserve rerolls.

[WestRider]

How are you getting it to 2+ with a Venomthrope? Cover Saves don't stack.

Brainfat, thought venoms improved cover for a sec. Edited!

You could throw some gaunts behind it for a null-deploy style list, going to ground for a 2+ save would make them hard to wipe out. Turn 2 a good portion of your stuff would come in thanks to the rerolls. It would give you a 1/9 of failing each roll. You wouldn't even need to shell out for HC on a tyrant, or a swarmy. If your going for the alpha strike, I would think it would be 70 points well spent.

If you have HC, you have only a 1/36 chance to fail, so you could basically say everything is in T2.

Nids and a comm relay??? o.O

I can just imagine

Yes yes yes... its indeed Alberto Del Rio, very good thing to take if ya go to a turnament. I mean all your opponents will submit quite fast once he puts his arm lock on em.

LMAO!
Well, I would imagine that any self respecting Tyranid would model their own Comm Relay along with the ADL. Maybe a Pheromone Chimney for reserves to home in on

I dunno, ignoring how stupidly unplugged it is, and assuming it's rerolling reserve rolls and not reroll failed (I don't have my Rulebook to hand) you could use it with trygon holes and actually make them useable...

It is reserve rolls. So you can reroll passed ones if you wanted.

[coredump]

that actually makes it a bit more useful....

[infornography]

I would be tempted to take it if I didn't need my ONE AGL to have a quad cannon to stand a chance against most flyers.

If we get some more anti air options then I might run it with a comm relay, but for now, My cannonthrope will be on the table.
