      I’d argue it’s not the best played, he basically threw his bikes away turn one and lost a ton of his army, not to mention the ability to pressure the plagueburst crawlers early game. Also the misstep that led to one of his inceptor squads not being able to shoot was huge. It was definitely very entertaining to watch, and nobody is going to play a perfect game.

    • @ethanr9080
      @ethanr9080 3 роки тому

      Maybe target guidance strat? 2cp to add 1 to the ranged hits for a friendly dark angel unit if a landspeeder is within 18". Thing is I'm not sure if you need the landspeeder key word or it has to be specifically a land speeder i.e. does it work for talonmasters? Also maybe the talonmasters were gonna hang back. I assume landspeeder storms are the cheapest speeder and it was meant to buff the inceptors sice they loose the dark angel +1 to hit if they move.

    • @d.t.m8393
      @d.t.m8393 3 роки тому

      A single land speeder or land speeder storm can do things like Engage on All Fronts or provide a very mobile 9" bubble of "no deep striking here". You can also throw them forward onto a mid-board objective on turn 1 as disposable throw away units. Tldr: they aren't there to do any damage and there's no master plan with them. You just use them to play the mission.
