Yeah, be me running a KSons army and I see Ahriman across the table constantly leading a daemon soup or DP brigade or cultist swarm. 'Cos y'know, fuck flavor, people wanna win.

Also Tau do plenty in the 5th phase of the game. It's just that it happens to also be shooting.

Actually it was because i’d just confederated a ton of provinces and they seemed to love their captains.

I recall that Orks are able to be injected, but because their method of breeding is usually through spores (read; tiny ork molecules) the genestealery stuff can't actually get around.
So they just become a clan of super weird orks obsessed with the 'ideal' of a four armed gorkamorka.

Yeah. Plus my opponent made the classic Blunder. Well, both classic blunders really
1. Believing that tarpits would do anything at all against Boyz
2. Letting Orks get within 12 inches of something they intend to krump

Had someone run (index) genestealers against my (index) boyz back in the day. He threw out all of the spells and brought along the patriarch and magus and all of that goodness in order to have his squad of 20 stealers give out a whopping 90 attacks, and completely deleted one of my 30 man units of boyz.

At which point my second 30 man unit of boyz turned around, charged them, and with a Ghazkull buff got off 150.
Scary numbers of dice on that table.

Same values, both tables were 3v3 with 1500 per person.

Sounds like a blast. I just ran my 1k freebootaz list against Death guard with similar results.
He even ran a few Daemon Princes to cheese his way through, to no avail against my 2+ to hit flash gitz.

AP -2 runs them up against the invuln, and then 2D messes with their feel no pain save.
It’s the equivalent of running autocannons against RobbyG

My only complaint would be the comparatively lacklustre melee. They’ve got the attacks, but nothing which would charge them usually cares without some kind of AP or D.

Once again your painting skills astound me.

Meanwhile in my Wrath & Glory campaign, my squad of three savlar chem-dogs (one ganger class, one guardsman and one stormtrooper) and one junior commissar have successfully knocked out: Four glitchlings (nurgling+), four eyestinger swarms, four Nurgle grubs, four gellarpox cultists (poxwalker+) and two hullbreakers, and happily walked away without a single person put down- although the commissar has picked up a nasty Slaught addiction.

I’m beginning to realise they’re turning themselves into the kind of glass cannons only hunans can just pull off.

Step two: don’t be unattractive.

Tinder exists to show everyone how high our respective bars are.
