My New Tactic

Here's my new tactic and we'll see how it goes. What it relies on is absolute and speedy death. Here's how it works. You need guardian jet bikes and you'll need either shining spears or mounted farseers. The trick is to surround transport tanks up to and including land raiders (especially if you're using the farseers in this tactic).

The guardian bikes are really not there to fire. You don't need to upgrade them. If you do this right, they'll probably either be unable to shoot because of their movement or because they are locked in hand to hand.

Instead their goal...their ONLY goal is to surround the tank and block off all exits. As they can move 18" and then an additional 6" during the assault phase this should not be a problem. Surround the exits.

Now, this means that either the farseer, seer council, or shining spears need only score a penetrating hit on the tank. They don't have to destroy it. On a pen, everyone must evacuate and if the exits are closed off, they die automatically.

Hee hee hee!

The best version of this tactic involves a mass mob of jet bikes, shining spears, and farseer. That way, if they actually do get into trouble, the shining spears can hit and run and come back in with power weapons. Note also how durable this tactic is. On the round that the jetbikes haul ass, they will have a 3+ invulnerable save, and if they are followed by a farseer, they get to re-roll missed saves (fortune). This will lock up any enemy that attempts to hurt them for at least that round.
