Well, I'm running an all-infiltrating devastator army.

TRAITS
See but not be seen, honour your wargear
We stand alone, flesh over steel

HQ
Commander, combi-plasma, infiltrate, 83 pts
Command squad x6, 2x plasma guns, infiltrate, 128 pts

ELITES
Devastator squad x8, 4x missile launchers, infiltrate, tank hunters, 248 pts
Devastator squad x8, 4x missile launchers, infiltrate, tank hunters, 248 pts
Devastator squad x8, 4x missile launchers, infiltrate, tank hunters, 248 pts

TROOPS
Tactical squad x5, plasma cannon, infiltrate, 110 pts
Tactical squad x5, plasma cannon, infiltrate, 110 pts

HEAVY SUPPORT
Devastator squad x8, 4x missile launchers, infiltrate, 224 pts
Devastator squad x8, 4x missile launchers, infiltrate, 224 pts
Devastator squad x8, 4x missile launchers, infiltrate, 224 pts

TOTAL: 1847 pts

IF devastators can have infiltrate, then they will maximize their effectiveness by not having to worry about LOS or target priority.

No, any troop may only take 1 veteran skill.

Also, I can be good, or bad. If you win the roll to infiltrate first, then your army is good, if you loose your army will suck. Also, if you loose and your opponet knows what he is doing, he can set his men up so you can't deploy outside of 12/18 inches, and you will have to come in as reserves. Also, only certain senarios allow inflitrate, so your army may not always be able to use it's special skill.

Where in any piece of GW literature does it say this?

Ok I have no idea what your talking about.

Also, if you loose and your opponet knows what he is doing, he can set his men up so you can't deploy outside of 12/18 inches, and you will have to come in as reserves.

What are you talking about?

Well, I'd have to say that about 99% of tournaments include infiltrating, so the advantages far outweigh the odds.

No such rule.

Erm, you roll for deploying first, but infiltrators are deployed last anyway. So basically if your saying what I think your trying to say, it's really not going to make that much of a difference.

On a standard side board.... impossible. Even if you couldn't find the space to infiltrate, you'd just have to set up normally anyway, they wouldn't be reserves.

In a tournament (where it's important) you generally will be able to infiltrate.
