Unfortunately, I was unable to get in a game with my "No Survivors" list.  It was decided that due to our numbers, we'd play a doubles game instead.

All was not lost, however.  I did glean a couple of things from the game.  One of the units that I took was a Beast Master Pack.  Originally, I thought I was perfectly safe with all of the types of models in the squad, making it durable.  However, I did find a weakness to it.  It can be pinned and tank shocked.  That is a problem.  In the future, I will have to ensure it is much closer to the action and use them aggressively, or they will find themselves neutralized.  After all, the Dark Eldar are about bashing/blasting the crap out of your opponent, not hiding.  They are a very large unit, model wise, so the chances of getting hit by blast weapons is high.  Cover will be essential.

In addition, yet another game proved that Wracks are hard as heck to remove from cover (which is hopefully near an objective).  I don't think it is appropriate to take more than 4 such units, because they lack long range firepower.  However, a couple of them acting as objective holders will be hard for enemies to deal with on a consistent basis.

I just realised your website included a blog... and it looks like you have been using it for awhile lolz. But I'm glad I've discovered it.

On a completely different note. Was it me that exposed you to Sandwyrm's Four Things Every Army Needs?

The mental exercise behind the first BT list was a great read. If you haven't already, then you should get it added to the BnC.

Nah, I had been following Sandwyrm prior to that post. There are quite a few authors that do an excellent job at explaining the needs of 5th Edition, but Sandwyrm's article was the easiest to convey in a list building article of my own. :)

As for adding the BT 101 guide to B&C, I did get the website as a whole introduced to the Resource page, but...I have a feeling that most of the BT community believe me to be a pompous and arrogant WAAC player. It seems they avoid commenting on anything I have to say (whether or not its my topic) like the Plague. Which is sad.

While I have helped a great many start or get back into the Black Templars, a large number of the community seems to dislike me for it. :(

I honestly haven't noticed any ill-will towards you in discussions. Although my forum time is limited to the BnC... specifically the BT sub-forum and the PCA.

I've learnt to just ignore the stupidz people... as much as possible.

The problem is, there rarely IS any discussions where I'm involved. Whenever I inject my opinion, the topic seems to die. Not sure if this is because my logic overwhelms them and essentially ends the discussion, or if it is like... "Wow. That guy again."

But I'm not perfect, while I know my BT, I don't know every single tiny nuance in their gameplay. I can only continue plugging away and hope that I continue helping others out. :)

By the way, do you have any topics that you'd like seen addressed here? I'm running out of things to say on the BT and outside opinions are always good to have. :D
