So how do you actually win with SSH?
OK, I love my Dinos with Lazerguns. But, against any kind of serious player, they just don't... perform?
They seem to be heavily penalized by the utility tax (have you seen the excellent melee profile on their only decent artillery piece? Just, why?), and have upgrade options that don't make sense (for example, protection feat being an either/or with phase backpack, which means attaching a champion to a Gecko cohort means they have to lose either protection or teleport). Also, there is very little decent shooting over 12" or access to AP4.
Like I said, socially or narratively, they can hold their own. But at the club I'm at, we've started playing a bit more seriously. I have decent win rates with other army (around 50% on HDF), but I'm 0 for 12 with my SSH, and I rarely make it past round 3. Got absolutely rinsed against rats this weekend, conceding the game before the end of round 1. (OK, that is against an excellent player, but still)
Any videos or articles that anyone can suggest?
