Tactics: Formation


It's all how you have your unit formation, especially with the wound allocation rule.

Because of this, you must position your army just right. Here's a couple formation and their tips:

  • Straight Line Form: this is when you want to form the army in a way to use cover or avoid template and blast markers. Example: a squad of Tactical Space Marines is behind a brick wall in this form. a squad of cultist comes up with a flamer and tries to kill them with fire. As the weapon ignores cover it's hard to hit all of them making it virtually useless.
  • Greek Phalanx Form: Despite the name, one of my opponents uses this form a lot. but it is effective for assault and inclosing around units to tear them apart, one last thing that this is good for is protecting something vital on your side, such as a squad with heavy weapons. Note: you're weak to blast and template weapons. The form looks like this:
 


Hope these help out in future battles!
