Biel Tan is probably one of the easiest armies to build. The only downside to them is they they cost a ton of points each. However you still gfet bang for your buck, it's just expensive, and often slow. Most things only get that 6 inch move. With the average aspect warrior costing 16 points a piece you will find it extremely difficult to pull up a safe meat shield you wont regret losing.
Dire avengers are the cheapest and might be the best meat shield of the aspect warriors, save for the 12 points problem. Most aspect warriors max out at 10 each so, there really isn't much help from that area either.
Playing them is rather difficult because each warrior only has one specific role to fill, does okay at anything else in that area, such as assault. Other than that, save for Swooping Hawks which do okay at everything, they will fail.
The easiest way to counter this play-style is to keep the warriors form doing their specific roles.
Keep out of LoS of Dark Reapers, assault, cover etc.
Put a ton of low saves against banshees.
High save, i.e. Terminators, against Scorpions.
Assasult whats supposed to shoot.
Shooting Whats supposed to assault.
Likewise, force your opponents reactions to sneak in your own problem makers, such as infiltrating your scorpions and abusing the threat bubble against his las-cannons. Keep him cooped up with Dark Reapers, and run your Howling Banshees in tanks, since you get to move 21 inches minumum to lock them into assault.
Eventually, when I get the hang of this army, I'll throw in extra tips and tricks.
Til' then, comments are awesome!!
