Vet player here. Marines and gaurd for 14 years. Picked up rons for a new start. Boight the army box. 3 more boxes of immortals. Cata command barge. Suggestions on builds. Is worth using it as cata or annihalation barge? Built the doomsday arc. Any suggestions? On anything. Gauss vs tesla. Cata or anni. Lord suggestions. I play for fun. I have a guard army totally mounted on horses. They die. A lot. But people love playing against them. So fun builds. Not power builds.

Welcome to the Tomb World!!! I like your playstyle So: Doomsday: Good choice Annihilation Barge is more fun to play GAUSS, Tesla is cool but now useless Overlords, how I play them: I give them EVERYTHING (And Phaeron) and put them with a 20-strong Warrior Phalanx, HOW IT WORKS: Put him at the very front of the unit and march them from the middle of the table. The enemy WILL concentrate on them. If small arms fire shoots them, you make those saves 3-by-3 as the Overlord has 3W. With this tactic I have seen Suncannons, Prism Cannons, Devastator/Havoc weaponry and (woot) Baleflamers effecting my unit in the same way as a lasgun would (no offence intended!) Same tactic with Lords, but in units of 10 Immrtals! Crypteks: The two Absolute-Best points-effective combos in the game: 1) 2 Harbingers of the Storm (Take 2 Overlords) and 5 Warriors in a Night Scythe: Rapes and unfortunate vehicle to get within range. 2) 2 Harbingers of Despair with Veils of Darkness and Nightmare shrouds and 5 Deathmarks left to deep strike (NOT in the enemy turn trust me it's only 7 guys in there!) HOW IT WORKS: See that Wounds-on-2+ ability of the Deathmarks? Despairteks also get it for their Str8(Instant Death most of the time) AP1(No Armour saves) flamers(no Cover!!!) that normally wound against LD (But not with Marks! The Crypteks are NOT Independant characters, just characters, and just lika a SM/IG sergeant, any rules effecting the unit also effect him!! If Scatter distance takes you away from flamer range, use the Nightmare shroudS instead (They are NOT weapons, just restrict you from firing another weapon! So 2 DIFFERENT units OTHER than the one the Deathmarks shoot at, can be effected!!!). And yes, Cryptek CAN Deep Strike with the Deathmarks as long as you buy him a Veil Of Darkness! Remember that you mark units when Deploying the Deathmarks, so DONT DEPLOY FIRST, Deep strike them!An alternative is to use a Night Scythe for them! BUILDS: Wraiths and A-barges are VERY points-effective units! Lots of 'em! Or Lots of Spiders and Scarab Swarms! Or Massed Necron people with a couple Barges and fliers backed up by A LOT of Characters and 2 Full Phaerons (The way I play!)! Or 6 Night Scythes full of Warriors and 3 Doom Scythes (Will loose you a friend, or two, or three!!! Haven't tried it yet (and Will not!) OR: Use the Forge World Fortification and 2 Nightshroud Bombers! Party time!!
