Why is it that my PCB suck so much? They have awsome stats and all those abilities, but whenever i do into battle i usually loose on average 3 PCB's to the other guys 1 model. Is there anything I cam do to even the odds or am i just screwed?

how many do you have in a unit? I field 6 so statisically, I should lose 1 in the first gas attack, but then I'll only have 5 and have a better chance of surviving with all of them.

that is TERRIBLE odds, considering the average enemy will have a 2/3 or a 1/2 chance of dying while you have a 1/6. They always work for me.

Well, if for some reason you can only kill one enemy model...

CHARGE THE ENEMY'S GENERAL!!! Especially if it's Archaon.

This way, the dice (tricky fiends that they are) will be confused. They always make sure you only kill one model, so they will have to roll nicely to enable you to kill one model. Archaon.

NOTE: This might actually work if dice could think in that manner, but they don't. So buy new dice, treat them nice, and they should help you kill more... (something that rhymes with dice).

NOTE 2: There was no point in me writing this, I'm just bored...

Punish one of your dice as an example to the other.

Put the example in the freazer for a few hours. Then get all you dice so they can watch the "exicution". Get the frozen die, and smash it with a hammer so all your dice can see.
Your dice will now roll better so they don't get the same fate. If it dosn't work, Repeat. if you continue to have problems, get new dice.

Ive acctualy seen this work, so try it.

This thread is begging for a purging... don't tempt me.

Try to keep it to the topic of why PCBs suck so much ;)

I don't know why yours are doing so badly. PCBs are a favorite of mine when I run Pestilens units.

I usually take out 1 or 2 due to the poison smoke, and then a bunch more with the censors and hatred.

I usually run them in packs of 6 as well.

If you are charging cav in the flanks, then, on average, you will only be hitting 1 or 2 models, while all of yours are testing. Those odds are not really in your favor. But whomping on them with S5 afterwards is always a good thing.

But sometimes you just have back luck, and in time the odds will even out. Just keep plugging away with them, and all will be good!

But... too... hard... can't... stay... on... topic...
Besides I don't really think they suck that much and momma always told me that it was bad to lie so I can't really say why they suck so much and... I'll shut up now.

Try sticking a Plague Priest with a censer in the unit. My Censers always seem to get shot up nowadays (can't imgine why...), but having a psychotic T5 evil smelling nasty with them might just tip the balance.

I normally take 7 plus the prest - normally one or two of them survive to get into combat then, and quite honestly, that's still gonna make a pretty big dent in anything. Keep using them - when they do work, they're one of the hardest hitting units in the game (Chaos knights? Hah! I laugh in their faces!)

Plague Priest in with Censer Bearers, can't say I've ever thought of that (I always assumed there was something against it). Sounds like quite a good idea, but I'm stilll keeping mine in with the Monks to give them a bit of punch.

Back when I was a pestelins freeeeaaaaak, I had 3 plauge priests, 1 per PM unit, and Salazar Censer, the master of the plauge censer. This strat actually works.

Did you know that Archaon has the same immunity to Plague Censers as the Monks themselve? ;)
