40k Deep Thought: Killing VS Surviving?
So I’ve been having a lot of discussions about what is the single key element that a unit can have in 5th edition. Without boring you with the myriad details, the lines have been drawn in the sand between two main camps who both think they have 5th edition all figured out:
The Butchers
“It doesn’t matter what the other guy does. A 4×6 board is actually pretty small, and in 5-7 turns my super lethal models will find and clear you off of the little parts of it that matter… Lethality wins!”
The Survivors
“5-7 turns isn’t enough time to deal with a large bunch of models trying to minimize thier losses. Cover is everywhere. I have enough super tough units spread around, that I can batten down the hatches, run down the clock, and contest my way to victory. Survivability is king!”
~What do you think is the superior approach, and where do you fall on the Butcher vs Survivor spectrum. If you have specific armies, lists, or units you feel are great examples of either type throw them up into the comments. The floor is your’s generals.
