Sheesh. Necrons seem kinda BS to me actually. The Immortals tended to be my unit of choice since they seemed to move faster than the Warriors (more of a damage soak). Eventually I'd send the Monolith to destroy a base or at least cutoff enemies while another swarm of Necrons searched out other places.However I had fun with the Tau, namely 2 full squads of Fire Warriors with a few Stealth teams to just pick 'em off. I'd also send in 3 Kroot Warriors with the Shapers, occasionally with Kroot Hounds to overwhelm and occasionally as bait into the Fire Warrior teams (went with the Kauyon Command upgrade). Heck, I was messing around with 4 Stealth teams (probably more) that pretty much killed everything since they couldn't be seen. I'd often have at least 3 - 4 fire teams travelling as a pack and concentrated fire tho I also had a full complement of Drone squads (all 20 of vehicle requisition) doing most of the damage.The Space Marines were always fun with Heavy Bolters as my fave weapon - stand ground at a chokepoint with at least 1 Scout team helping out but especially bad with 2 decked out heavy bolter squads. I'd often send the Grey Knights led by the Librarian with the Chaplain to bait the enemy into bolter fire or just have a few Dreadnaughts to just kill everything with a Scout team to capture points. Chaos Marines weren't quite the same tho I'd still have a swarm of Marines (3 - 4 squads) plowing into a group, usually with a Cultist squad capturing the points, and at least 1 Berserker squad (usually 2) to tie up units while the marines shot into them. I still don't like the Chaos Dreadnaughts.Haven't tried the Eldar, IG or Orks yet. I'm not looking forward to the greenskins with that freakin' Waaaugh! resource.Overall I use the Honor Guard to defend the base from initial rushes and occasionally use them for my grunt rush.Now about Winter Assault, I liked the lower costs of Terminator and Obliterator squads for obvious reasons. Then again, they'd make it too easy. As for the switching of sides on that certain map, I'd focus on only one side each time tho I'd always crank out as many tanks as possible to eliminate the Land Raider ASAP. I hated the IG half of that mission but kept at least 1 builder with it to continually repair it.</blockquote>
