Dark Saim Hann 2.9

5 Wins, 1 Tie, 0 Losses

This is the latest update of my Dark Saim Hann style raider army and it's doing fairly well. Squeezing Vect into the list with a Ravager made a huge difference and I hope to take this to next months local tournament (if I can finish a few more models instead of supplementing Eldar stuff).

The game I play is reserve/hide the raiders at all costs.
Cover saves and pop shots with Dark Lances while the bikes wreak havoc across the battle field. Vect and the Ravager dominate Terminators, MEQ, small vehicles and demand to be dealt with. I try to screen with Vect and use him to protect/tie up whatever he can. I will send him with raiders to take objectives.

The smallest council I send after vehicles while the larger two protect each other as they go for the glory. One will turbo boost to protect the other while it fires that turn and of course I hide in assault as much as possible.

I often pop the Haemonculi's off as independent characters to skilled rider through terrain to contest objectives late in the game or just to give another unit more beef in an assault that turn. They are also useful to pull troops off an objective or out of cover as everyone crowds around to beat him down, just make sure the other bikes can get in the way of the d6 consolidation move!
