TOTAL [1998]

With some experience with games against tau (WonDen and Dajnard, mostly), I have a conclusion that 4 FMC have a better chance to deal with that army, then 2 FMC and the Fiend-Boing. And that is the reason of the absence of the Fiends and Slaaneshi Heralds in me single roster :'(

Keeper of Secrets functions like a Portalglyph Courier. He can Deep Strike if the opponent is a complete defender (simply not to allow to break the Portal on the first turns. By the time he arrive on the table, it will be great time to score and the enemy should be already busy by the Monsters and Drones.

There are two more variants for that roster. Both will remove the Plague Drones.

1) Allied Imperial Guard and 2 Vendetta Gunships. This variant has a strong anti-air force. BUT. Not so long ago, Yawgmoth said to me that the top armies will be Tau Empire, Eldar and Necrons. And they are not the armies that are needed AA-units to fight against. Yes, Necrons have the rosters with about 7 Scythes... But playing with Cron-air, it's difficult to wipe-out the enemy. Also, it has problems with tau. That means, the only chance to meet Cron-air on Opened Russian Championship is to meet them in the 1st round or ... To lose a lot :) But, if I've already a loser, what's the difference, who is my new opponent?)))

Also, the IG variant makes the Keeper lose his Exalted Reward, and the LoCh now will have an Exalted Reward and a Greater one, losing much. Oh, and the Keeper becomes an useless piece of shit!

2) 20 Flesh Hounds. They looks a little more impressive, then the Drones, cause of their number. But it is a tasty stuff of a Poison (3+) and 3 wounds with a t5 and Shrouded (+ap2 with a Champ). Also, it is more tasty, if DP will cast Endurance on them. But 20 Hounds simply could do more (?). Everything I can do now - is just tests...
