Time for shockcannons?

Pretty sure we would do well as white scars. Faction plays like nids except all the tools we need.

We're used to actually having to remember all the stratagems (least i am), doing sneaky combat tricks like using a bad profile then consolidating to tripoint preventing fall back, playing to objectives heavily etc.

I just dumped a bunch of money on gsc, cause i feel even with all the tools sm has, i should be able to pull 50% wins.

But im offloading my ork army, so im betting i could buy a decent white scar army with the money id get from my orks.

It depends on the terrain, they may be hiding in terrain that also blocks LOS.

If it pushes back your deepstrike another 9" I think that's 2cp well spent. Even if you were going to spend shoot twice anyway, you now have to burn a fair bit of shooting back into them instead of into something else, and that can cop a vp or 2. It's just something that can be done, they have the options. For eg last week vs Sallies if my opponent had Transhumaned the unit of scouts I was shooting, I wouldn't have been able to break past them with enough shots to take out the Selfless Sacrifice unit (the character, who was protected by the scouts, and is thankfully not valid anymore) and also hurt the Aggressors at the back - Aggressors that would easily screw me over.

Really curious what would happen if we all just hard swapped to marines. Bet we'd be top 10 players.

Having to play objectives, use los with big fat models, have very little tools and be melee experts to get every little bit out of our models would probably make us godly white scars players.

I owned marines for 8 days, built, painted and played a single tournament. Won a major with them, was bored to hell with how easy it was by the end of game one. Sold the army for profit within 2 days.
Now playing experimental GSC lists and having a blast.

IMHO all aura based shooting armies are boring as hell to play (because how auras restrict your movement). White scars on the other hand seems kind of fun to play.

Tbh, id only play white scars or BA. Some sort of punchy army. Im not a fan of aura stacking either, buy whitescars atleast has the tools to be a successful melee army, stop overwatch, advance and charge, scouts to keep your opponent bunched up in their side of the map.

I just bought your whole gsc list. So ~ we will see how it goes. From the 50 hours of gameplay ive seen it seems super fun and rewarding.

The hull gt one you posted here. I think its a good start. Most competitive lists have the same base, only exception is the jackal squad and I picked that up at a bit swap for $20 this weekend so no complaints there.
