Devilgaunts

[doberman]

I've just finished a game in which I was playing a game with two friends, is was Blood angels vs Nids and Space puppies. Good craic!

I had a unit of 24 Devilgaunts and a tyranid prime, it kicked arse! The prime took point and absorbed a better than average number of hits and survived with cunning use of Look Out Sir.

When those bad boys shoot at some thing the target knows about it. As for overwatch, lets just say "you don't want to be assaulting them."

Very impressed!

It's a hit and miss, at least for me. This was in 5th edition, but 25 DG, 75 shots, only 17 hit, then 8 wounded with 2 or 3 dead, but he had FNP so only one dead. Very unlucky roles for me. Seemed like you got lucky. I don't think anyone would assault them again.

Good that it worked for you, I swear I am going to put a few dice in the microwave and the rest of the dice, lined up to watch what happens to failure.

I will have to try what you did with a Prime for LOS! I never thought about using a Prime for that, so hopefully it will work better for me.

This is why I love units with more dice rolls rather than easier success requirements. The level of difference in results you can get always makes your opponent a little more afraid. Like with the Doom, it's a lot scarier when it's just as possible that the unit in question would nuke your army as would do nothing at all.

If a Hive Tyrant with old Adversary just happens to be in the neighbourhood it goes from hilarious to "OM*G what happened!"

I have a unit of 10 that routinely ruins somebody's day almost every game.... they are getting quite the reputation as those "f*ing little basterds"
