take from that what you will but i thought you 2 would be intrigued by how they were doing tourney wise.

Alot of the web is answering the "but why take anything not scoring??? ever???" with "F*%*&*&£ing BANNERS for the winnzors" and have been doing for the last month.

BOLS quoting frontline gamers
event overall winner was Alan Bajramovic with his Nids. Alan also won the ETC singles and WargamesCon last year, so he’s been on a hot streak! His Nids were really aggressive, with 2 Flyrants, the Doom and a unit of Zoeys in sPods, Ymgarls, 2 Tervies and a host of Gargoyles. His army relied on reserves, overwhelming amounts of high threat targets and speed

It's odd to hear the Nids doing so well. I've always found that they are better on paper than in practice!

When they say overall they take into account 2 other factors over just tourney results:
battle/tourney (upto 100)
Paint points (upto 50)
Sportsmanship points (upto 50)

it also had a weird number of throwaway points for TOs desired scewed meta e.g. anti min max rule if you kill off a whole section of FOC (e.g. 3 lone MM attack bikes) you get a battle point on top of any others due for doing such. If you heavy units made it into their deployment zone 1 more than usually given (handy for nids). No mysterious objectives so flyers are that much safer.
Apparently it was only a 70 people tourney.

As I say not that much to read into it really, just a first possible indicator for those who look for such.

There is a large element of that list in mine. Hq choices and wargear are the same.

Looking at banners recently, liking the auto pass hit and run me ATM.

Surprised to see he beat the two helldrake list. Sis two ate my entire army the other night. I had two dev squads with sky fire Mls. And a fighter. And he still ate all the bikes and the troops and devs.

I'm writing a strongly worded letter to jervis this week about them. :(

Lol play more bizzatch, being scared of flyers is soooo summer 2012 :lol:
Ways he could have beat them,
p122 "If one player concedes the battle, or his entire army is wiped out, the game ends and acrushing victory goes to his opponent.
Likewise, if at the end of any game turn, one player has no models on the battlefield, his opponent automatically wins."

his 4 shot bikes move up and kill the demonettes, the fortification doesn't count as his (I believe) maybe bikes in reserve for counter.. he could have tabled him before they got to come on.
Other way stay the fudge away from them, turning circles if they're all over the place is tricky..
3rd way.. be in combat by the time they turn up
4th way un/lucky rolls.(inc FNP)
5th way greater skillz

Ways you could beat them
Allys.. get something better than those godawful str7 40point per model missile launchers (1 example twinlinked rifleman as a heavy slot in case he can score/ autocannons autocannons..e.g. grey knights inquisitor 5 scoring termies and a psyfleman) or just cheese it and take your own flyerwing(although of course it comes in to its own beating up flyers..it are starscream)

Play mysterious objectives.. they are there to balance out the game.. oh crap I'll head to the command tower that lets my heavy squads have skyfire.
Fortifications- look at those lists everybody and their momma took fortifications. Aegis with quad is cool shooting them as they fly on is kick ass.
Play reserve shenanigans, either through traits or through CSS ally to messes with allys.. so that they turn up late and can be picked off one by one.

It will not die? kill it in one turn.

To be fair the DA codex is lacking AntiAir in my view. I dont see how any list with one flyer didnt beat the list above in at least a game(comp aside) that said OBJ games can be won even by a defeted army, if you hold OBJs with 1 scoring model on each and enemy has whole army left you still win, would need a full battle report for each game really. But what i see in that list it should have major problems at most tournies most of the time.

one flyer, vastly easier
rear armour 10, 8 twinlinked plasma shots and 50 billions bolter shots from something without movement restrictions.. glance down real swift.
Admittidely if it didn't go down thats a lot of the army getting a flamer of death to the face..but my experiences with flyers from guard chaos orks and smurfs are V different to yours.. Only crons give me grief and thats partially because one of the players insisted that they were AV13.

Did you guys play the forgeworld game/ or the pirate GW game with momentum, where you had to take turning circles and timing into effect to lay traps for firing solutions?

But they don't regenerate,ignore minor penetrations,they only threaten troops with an asscan and a missile. Cost more.
Yes stormravens immunity to instant melting to melta and lack of cheap rear armour makes it slightly more resilient to his army .. but its not hurting his army any more.The baleflamer cannon can kill a bike squad a turn if lined up right, its like the flamer landraider.. its only true role is to kill ridiculously expensive meq save models., missile asscan and HB isn't going to kill off an always in cover bike squad a turn.how many failed saves.. anyone do it off the top of their head??I'll think about it whilst I go undercoat some models.

The baleflamer is million times better (or there abouts) at killing infantry.

360 degree arc, torrent, S6, AP3. Raven has to hit, then get through armour and can only fire in front with most guns. Erm ya, I'll take the dragon...

My point isnt which is better between the dragon or stormraven, its that i cant see how this list would take a SR down.

Doesn't need to...as in its really really low target priority to take out one of those things if your one of these lists.

S7 and don't forget, vector strike (again S7 AP3 close combat), regen HPs, Daemon 5+ inv save (who needs jink), reroll misses once per game, and shoot backwards at all those guys trying to shoot me up the arse lol

MLs are good, I stand Azrael with them for a 4+ Inv. On a test roll it took 4 MLs 10 turns to do 10 HPs at AV12. I work on 5 HPs for them coz of the regen. So 2 dev squads should take them down in half that time; 5 turns say... they come on turn 2 or 3 mainly so thats 1 dead by end of game...

I will do as Toby recommended next time... I don't like snap firing at them, but thats what needs to happen. Everything needs to kill it asap.

As for allies, I don't like that part of 6th and won't be mixing codexes. :(
