Ok, so usually I shy away from the Incubi because they are slow and expensive. And their raider can be shot down and then they have to walk. Anyway. My views have changed, and I will tell you why. In the metagame at the moment (at least around these parts, there is a prevalence of "bluff" units. Thunderwolves, Assault Terminators, Seer Councils, Nob Bikers... you name it. So as I was thinking about it, I decided to try out a dracon+7 Incubi, 2 warriors with Splinter cannon in a raider.
And it was wonderful, by carefully screening the raider with my other raiders I mitigated the shooting against them. The games was against space wolves, so their first trial was against the thunderwolves. And They prevailed, together with the help of a wych squad to tie up the lord specifically. Then they proceeded to take out another grey hunter squad, and soak up an entire army worth of shooting before going down, the dracon then went off to single out anothe 10 greyhunters all by himself. He survived the whole battle
. This allowed the rest of my units to get into position unscathed, and by turn 7 there were no spacewolves left on the table.
So, Incubi. How do you use them? Do you love or hate them? Do you have any good ideas when fielding them?
