First time posting.
I have recently stated playing Daemonhunters and have been really enjoying them. However i am soon to be facing a real problem, one of my friends have suddenly gone tank crazy and for an army with little to no long range weaponary i have a feeling i am about to suffer an utter defeat (another friend recently took him on a week ago and he's still picking up pieces of his mutliated men).
To give you a small taster of my pain. In a 1500 point army (he plays IG) he has 2 leman Russ's, a Baslisk, 3 sentinals, 2 customised light tanks, the list goes on. At 72" i am in range of 2 battle cannons and a earthsaker, at 48" some 20 lascannons. :O
I would like to use my GK but I fear that they wont make it within 24" of his line before being blown away and i have my doubts concerning deepstriking, i have had very mixed results in the past.
Melta weaponary would help but that requires me to close him down which seems questionable. The only option i can think of is either dropping my grey kinghts altogether to bring in some space marine armour and devestator squads or meeting him at his own game and piling my troops into landraiders and taking a few dreads. I am also thinking of employing a callidus assassin to infiltrate his heavy weapon teams and an orbital strike on any entrenchments.
However i still feel i am hiding to nothing from the vast amount of insta-kill high strength weapons he has to play with, so any advise on this issue would really be appreciated
