I'm getting hung up on them because they are mondo expensive and don't bring much damage potential to the table outside of those pistols. <br /><br />That being said, I may end up with them anyways!

Swoop in and hit with two dual inferno pistols. Would remove the kill points the rhino puts up and would increase mobility. Then again, it might just be a poor choice:)Flekkzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508641232973488303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-30987285556817751682012-01-10T10:33:10.800-08:002012-01-10T10:33:10.800-08:00Dominions have scout, so they can scout move if I ...Dominions have scout, so they can scout move if I have turn 1 or outflank if I don't, which I probably won't because I'm thinking this army functions best going 2nd. Only reason I am considering the rhinos was to extend their range coming on the board to more effectively use their melta. Rhinos will most likely die right then and there.<br /><br />I'm still not sure on it myself because they give up kill points which I don't want to do with this list. Won't know till I play test a little.Neil Gilstraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650727851487045304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-73260818635403087402012-01-10T09:44:41.418-08:002012-01-10T09:44:41.418-08:00Curious about the two Rhinos.

Am I missing something?Flekkzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508641232973488303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-52240657076164998682012-01-10T08:47:23.323-08:002012-01-10T08:47:23.323-08:00So, purifier spam has a claim to be good against h...So, purifier spam has a claim to be good against horde lists because of cleansing flame. Against Sisters, this doesn't apply because of the 3+ save. <br /><br />That being said, a squad of Purifiers assaulting sisters will kill them anyways, just from sheer combat res and sweeping advance. This is why I think Kyrinov, although on paper the less superior choice to Jake, is going to be critical. It will be critical to be able to dictate when your squads break and when they don't.<br /><br />That also being said, would require the GK player to now switch up from his normal gig as a shooting list with Purifiers to now having to come assault me which is generally outside of the basic Purifier spam strategy, thus throwing him off his game which is the goal of the whole exercise. So, here's to crossing fingers and won't have a good answer on that one till I get to play test.<br /><br />Purifiers generally want to hang out at the 24 inch line and lay down Storm Bolter and Psycannon fire. The thing here is that I will gladly trade shooting blows with them at 24 inches as I can lose models at a 2:1 ratio with them and come out on top.<br /><br />Forcing him to come forward and assault with proper positioning will then introduce him to a whole new world of weakness that a GK player isn't used to which is the whole "I win combat but every time I do I now suffer a round of an entire army shooting at me with everything they have to whittle me down". <br /><br />Keeping this in mind that @ 2k, the spammiest Purifier list will have at most, 40 Purifiers. The only way he is chopping through 100+ Sisters is if I let him. <br /><br />I get more concerned in this scenario about working around objectives. Only way I will get an answer as to who is tougher is to try it out. <br /><br />I'll let you know how it goes.Neil Gilstraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650727851487045304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-79065686701300755652012-01-10T07:40:26.163-08:002012-01-10T07:40:26.163-08:00So what about the Purifier spam list that go kooko...So what about the Purifier spam list that go kookoo for hordes?
