Rangers, The distraction you never had.

I love my rangers. I never back down on that. I just built a list that rangers have a hilariously funny role in.

My friend tells me I can reach any objective before anybody else I play against. He IS right.

I have 2 teams of rangers. 2 five man squads of pathfinders.

I Infiltrate them in to cover, where they take a shooting position for specific targets. Its a pretty normal role for rangers.

What if I play where its a desert or there is no cover?

Distractions.

Wait, what?

This is a really simple, but hilariously entertaining concept.

We always remove what is the biggest availaable priority. For me, its devastators, then terminators. For my enemies it will be my rangers. My rangers are a very big threat considering 1 squad dropped a devastator squad.

So what are we going to do? Shoot them down!! Bwahahaaa!!! Heres the sneaky part. The rangers go to ground. and looky there A. 4+ save! Some people have a hard time dying. Rangers included. They are going to waster their time taking them down while the rest of the board goes to crap.

But what about the terminators? The terminators are bound to deepstrike after me. That fine and dandy, and moreover the POINT. Everybody else can hop around and away from the terminators. Its a sad unfluffy win, but the moral here is that if you cant destroy it, you just ignore it or avoid it. Terminators aren't a threat if they cant do their job.

Just so this is public. terminators are a ELITE choice, not troop

Got a objective to hold? Nightpinner stall and drop the rangers on it.

Any other fun on rangers? Leave me a post if you actually read this
