DarkElf27 except when they are killed by power swords instantly. xd Bah they have three wounds and a 5+ invulnerable nobody is going to be geting through that in a single turn.

If I was facing a army big enough to field a Titan don't you think I would have a Titan of my own on hand?

I could have it as most of my army, it IS 12 inches tall. ^_^

Trust me hope gets you nothing against the Imperial Guard. I dont need luck. gimme a falcon, farseer, 20 guardians, 10 Striking scorps + Exarch, and a vyper squad and i could destroy 2000 points worth of Imp gaurds. Trust me, ive done it before. Twice. Against different people.

Twice. Against different people. And I've fought those types of armies before. My platoon rips the falcon a new one my chimeras with Multi laser and heavy bolters tear through any light armor. and then you have the basic troops and no troops can stand up against concentrated Imperial guard fire. So how did these guys allocate their points?

So how did these guys allocate their points? the falcon moves to faast to be hit anything but glancingly, the scorps would survive the fire with flying colors and rip into your infantry in an assault, the falcon would destroy any heavy armor you had, the farseer would take out your leaders with Mind War, the vypers would eliminate any other troops you had, and the guardians would mop up the leftovers. as to the enemy army, they had a platoon of soldiers, compete with commissar, 2 leman russ's, a sentinal squad, a basilisk, and 3 chimeras. oh and a storm trooper squad.

DarkElf27 rolleyes the falcon moves to faast to be hit anything but glancingly, the scorps would survive the fire with flying colors and rip into your infantry in an assault, the falcon would destroy any heavy armor you had, Rarely put too many points into heavy armor and if you are going to move fast enough to only be hit by glancing then they aren't going to be able to "rip" through anything the farseer would take out your leaders with Mind War, I've seen Ogryns beat Mind war rather handidly so I doubt that the farseer will beat my 9 leadership the vypers would eliminate any other troops you had, I can take hits to my army just fine. But your Vipers won't be able to shake off a rocket hit. and the guardians would mop up the leftovers. as to the enemy army, they had a platoon of soldiers, compete with commissar, 2 leman russ's, a sentinal squad, a basilisk, and 3 chimeras. oh and a storm trooper squad. Wow your friends army sucks pretty bad. No offense but that is far far to many tanks for an army and Stormtroopers are only remarkable if you are going to fight orks.

Shurikin cannons would just eat them up. and as to the falcon, it can fire one weapon after moving twelve inches, namely the pulsar (counts as twinlinked lascannon.) Note the scorps would still eat you alive.

DarkElf27 how do you take hits just fine? your basic soldier has toughness 3, and an armor save of 5+. I have enough guys that no matter what I will still have plenty of guys around when your shooting in through Shurikin cannons would just eat them up. and as to the falcon, it can fire one weapon after moving twelve inches, namely the pulsar (counts as twinlinked lascannon.) So a single lascannon shot a turn? Not exactly the most fearsome amount of fire I've come up against. Note the scorps would still eat you alive. 10 guys with 3+ armor? shaking in my boots. They will either be in the Falcon when it get shot down and take large casualties or they will need to march through a hellstorm of fire from my guys.

Guardsmen? HAH!
You haven't met Veteran Sergeant BOB!
When he enters the frey, all hope is lost.
((Yes, at one point, in my store, there was a time before I quit that BOB struck fear into the heart of many))
