I'll be very interested to see how hte new DE perform versus SW & BA. IG is still strong but like Danny said people are finally learning how to counter IG. My jump BA do very well versus IG due to all the flying melta weapons. There is a good batrep by Ben Mohile over at Dakka from the ETC tourney featuring his SM versus IG. He had some solid tactics and a bit of luck when he needed it, plus the IG player from Finland got conservative after going ahead by 3 KP.Terminus Esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216648052452417162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971967977259463444.post-44644898366382550192010-08-20T23:04:54.764-04:002010-08-20T23:04:54.764-04:00Aggressive Space Marines have always been the bane...Aggressive Space Marines have always been the bane of the new IG book since it was released. Space Wolves and Blood Angels are more recent and people are finally learning how to build and run them. Aside from being the most points efficient codex in 40k, I think we're going to see SW dominate more and more precisely because they're such an excellent counter to mech IG.Danny Internetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542445877929479447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971967977259463444.post-63918474851524037062010-08-20T07:59:36.937-04:002010-08-20T07:59:36.937-04:00Phil can write some truly sick codices !!

The latest armies to come out have all had a very heavy assault vibe to it, and Guard definitely doesn't like assaulty codices...Dark Eldar will probably put a huge nail in the Guard coffin.Graneshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458068237948341144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971967977259463444.post-31345630280312885892010-08-19T18:15:13.481-04:002010-08-19T18:15:13.481-04:00I'm McLoving it bro.
