GlitzFan Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 It would be nice to see how many drops each army usually has with common army builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Parker Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 It seems to break into 3 main bands I find. 1-2 drop for armies with viable super battalions although it feels like GW are trying to take this out of the game. 6-8 drops for armies with a battalion and extra support heroes / units 10+ drops for any others. So if you can get around a 4 drop that still has a lot of value as you will decide round 1 in all but super battalion matchups. Also if your playing a high drop army you need to have a build that can both survive alpha strikes and also take objectives from hordes who sit on them top of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecktron Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 When playing Kharadron Overlords I aim for2-3 drops when playing 1000-1500 point games. As said before, GW is slowly phasing out big battalions. So its isn't that necessary to get down to one drop anymore. Anything below 5 will almost guarantee being able to chose who goes first.

HAHA. But it was cool when I realized it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampHeart Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 When I play BoC usually 1 or 2 drops, when I play HoS usually 4-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We usually play 1,5K so that really helped me out ) shalaxi, daemon prince, sorcerer lord, 2x30 daemonettes & 3 fiends boom! 1470 pts. 6 drops, 66 models and I just need to paint shalaxi to get there! EDIT: oh I like this challenge with my mortal lists it’s a bit more tricky but still doable. I have a 4 hour flight coming up, but I think I know what I’ll be doing 🙈 Edited July 1, 2019 by Kramer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayple Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) As many as I can feasibly get without compromising the strength of the army. I always prefer to outdeploy rather than fish for first turns (Gloomspite/Skaven) Edited July 4, 2019 by Mayple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
