Excel Against: Horde Armies
As
a mid-level shooty unit, it pays to keep the boys in blue at
medium range until the last moment. This feat is easy enough,
as Dire Avengers can move and fire with
their 18"-range Avenger Shuriken Catapults. You should "court" the
enemy if you can — by this, I mean move forward on the 1st turn so
you are in range. When the enemy squad(s) come toward you, consistently
move backward while maintaining the volley during each Shooting Phase. Then, when they
are right on top of you or you run out of table to manoeuvre, unleash a Bladestorm and
charge an Eldar unit (even the Dire Avengers could be sufficient) into combat
with the tattered survivors. This tactic can take down even the largest Ork
mob, but it is not a wise tactic to employ against anything that can move faster
than 6" a turn.
