Before we begin we’d like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a review copy of the Index for review purposes. I will probably go with two 4 melee Bullgryn squads with 2 of each shield type and put them in the valkyries.

Many are even large enough to fire their weapons on the move, acting like a sort of mobile fire support platform for their fellow soldiers while eagerly charging into the fray. Chucat: Critical Hit and Hidden Hunter are basically in a cage match for the best tactic in Kill Team. You want to kill things, Critical Hit is always going to help with that. The tact It’s very easy to detail a bad target. But if you want to avoid hitting big things and things with one wound. What’s the middle ground? SRM co-Editorializing a bit here: Anything that encourages static play ain’t great. I get the desire to have your dudes bravely holding the line (they are the Imperial Guard after all) but 40k’s a much more interesting game when units are encouraged to move around. Enhancements An Ogryn's speech patterns in Low Gothic have been noted to be much the same as those observed in Orks.Treads grind through the mud as the Hammer of the Emperor goes to war. There are a million Space Marines in the galaxy, stretched thin across a million worlds; they form the Emperor’s elite*, but they cannot be everywhere at once. Instead that burden is shouldered by the Astra Militarum, formerly the Imperial Guard, whose fighting forces number in the billions and pervade every corner of the Imperium. Ordinary people with tanks and guns, facing off against a universe of horrors they barely understand – that’s life in the service of the Emperor. For me, the Bullgryns are excellent at melee and if you want a melee unit in your Astra Militarum force then the Bullgryns is an auto-include.

Tonight I made good progress towards finishing the modeling for my Bullgryns. The Sergeant is looking pretty complete and I might be ready to prime shortly. The process to create him was very spontaneous and I think I shall have to put together some good fluff for him. Dreadnought power arm and a ripper gun makes for a beastly combo. He also has an old curved sword from the fantasy Ogre kit. I had to remove the hand that was holding the sword, but that worked out nicely.Guardsman Leisse explaining the poor state of an Ogryn Specialist's firearm to the Regimental Quartermaster Here is a shot of all the slabshield boys with their Inquisition tattoos visible. All Bullgryns except Sgt Jones wears an Inquisitorial mark. In combat, the procedures enacted upon a Bone'ead's brain are put to the ultimate test as they confront numerous decisions and obstacles of command head on. However, their determination and inhuman stubbornness often see them through such situations, while their unique physiology more than compensates for any lapses in discretion or judgement. As a result, an experienced Bone'ead is often capable of leading his fellow Abhumans more or less where he is told with a little practice.

Such Ogryns usually are truly colossal creatures, whose bulging muscles and gigantic stature allow them to manipulate their oversized weapons as effortlessly as a normal man might wield a Lasgun while relying on their immense bulk to compensate for any recoil. Both units are geared towards two different aspects of Warhammer 40K. One is melee and one is shooting. With simple equipment options of either a maul or gauntlet in one hand and a slab shield or brute shield in the other.This game is heavily reliant on how you use your troops, more than the economy part. Not that having a strong economy is not important, it is just that at higher difficulties the AI gets strong economy bonuses (and experience levels for their units) so no matter how good you are at maximizing your economy, it is how you do battle that is going to win you those games. Because that is where the weak part of the AI is, they just don't optimize battles properly, or unit compositions, relatively to a human player.
