RolandTHTG Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The Chapter tactics encourages imitating Mongol encirclement and feigned retreat tactics? Yessss. For the Kahn! Filius, Ashur, Othniel's Blade and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Very cool as well. Doesn't seem as strong as the RG one, but only because Bikes can't jump over other units to fully utilize the ability to charge after falling back. ^^ Ashur 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellex_The_Thanatar Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 That will make them blindingly fast. Dark and at levels. Which is kinda where my issue lies in this trait. You just have marines that feel like tankier dark and at now. Deffrekka 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarius Cawl Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 They have a nice banner too. https://17890-presscdn-0-51-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/WSChapterFocusBanner.jpg Winds Of Fury and Panzer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Imeran Byon Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Shouldn't it be "...can move an additional 2" in addition..."? RAW this would always move you a minimum of 2" when advancing, no? I'm pretty sure they'll clear this up as intended... but on the other hand it would be quite funny to have the Scars always tumble forward a set distance minimum because they're so eager to get into combat :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I love how disgustingly clean that banner is. It reminds me of some of the concept art Ralph McQuarrie did for Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrexPushups Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Very cool as well. Doesn't seem as strong as the RG one, but only because Bikes can't jump over other units to fully utilize the ability to charge after falling back. ^^ Nothing stopping whitescars players from using assault marines, vanguard veterans etc. They will be amazing at hopping over screens. They can shoot & charge too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Looks incredible at a glance, but Hit&Run is not the powerhouse it once was, why? Voluntary Falling Back is now a thing. WS tactics still require them to get into combat (not too hard with the speed) BUT more importantly, for the opponent not to just fall back from them - so it's actually a bit niche in that regard. It can however let you play he bait game VERY well as you can advance, take a charge and then fall back to your pals and go all in. Scout bikes would be nice for this.

Indefragable Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Wow. I have a Scarblade from 7th I was considering selling. It is almost entirely bikes and loaded with Stormseers. #mannafromheaven #playinglotterytoday Edited July 18, 2017 by Indefragable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x19 Parabellum Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sorry White Scars, I love your chapter tactic, theme and fluff, but you guys just look way too Flash-Gordon-playing-football-in-Ming's-palace for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout bikes would be nice for this. yeah it isn't all that niche... every time you get charged, fall back at the start of your turn (in many cases, marines dont get wiped out in CC except against CC monster units), light up enemy units with your armies ranged attacks to flavour and then charge back in if desired to finish things off (or engage a different unit entirely!)
