He used DAVUs and Falcons in the heavy. <br /><br />For NoVA format, this was allowing him to hide behind terrain most of the game and then use the Falcons (being nigh invulnerable and all with Fortune) to move out to contest/grab objectives or quarters.<br /><br />Of course, the indestructible wall of Wraithguard + Eldrad would sit back with Harlies usually in a corner, near an objective, and of course also thusly dumping like 800+ points into a quarter which helps for NoVA events.<br /><br />Falcons were all pimped out to prevent them from dying.<br /><br />It was very effective of course in the hands of a good player. He was finally taken down by another good player with a highly optimized Mech Guard list at our top table.Neil Gilstraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650727851487045304noreply@blogger.com
