My main opponents are SM and BT. (Tau soon to come along). But the SM/BT players want heaps of terrain on the table because they are scared of all my guns.
It's got to the point where they almost give up just because I am maximising my shooting and target priority etc getting the best kill results out of my weapons (thanks to helpful advice I've read on these forums). Basically is this par for the 40k course that SM players (or maybe IG opponents) want terrain but the IG don't really care about it as much?
I suspect that it may just be that their armies are not balanced and too much reliance is given to that one devastator squad etc that gets blown to smitherines by turn 2. My IG-logic tells me that if you have more units then at least some of them will be left alive. But for SM it is harder to field more squad units because he wants to field the 'cool stuff'.
Is my SM opponent just blaming terrain for a poor army? or is this a valid reason to gripe for most IG vs SM battles?
