If there is one thing that I hate its bloodletters. No I am not calling cheese, but want to know how people deal with them in general. I know there are certain units that can do it, but if you don't have those units on the board you are screwed.
Discuss... I really would like some good tactics. especially against Tommy's 2 bloodletter units.
My experiecen has been this. They pop out, wreck what ever they are next and then plow through everything else.

I don't know much about Bloodletters in particular having only faced them once a few years back. But, I do know that against an assault army, I try not to clump too much so that they can't just hop from unit to unit. This way, while they might chew through one unit, I should still get some chance to shoot or charge them after. This is probably rather obvious though. Doubt it will help you much.

You're just jealous that this is the one unit that eats your death company.
Play Tau. Blodletters are nothing special then.
Plus you get experience in avoiding and minimising the effects of h2h.
You know they're coming. You know where they're going to come out from. Aside from hoping for a happy scatter try to draw them out by sacrificing a unit in h2h to them, make sure that they can't bounce into something else. Then on your turn shoot the ever loving piss out of them.

exactly.... I learned this the hard way with
stinkin' DE wyches...
Once that unit of bloodletters gets in h-2-h w/
one of your units, SCATTER!
Move your units away from that combat, hope the bloodletters don't get a huge massacre move,
and then shoot the sh** out of "em!!!!

Dreadnoughts is the answer to bloodletters. He may not kill them all but they are stuck there the rest of the game.

Bloodletters should be more points and 0-1 to undivided!

Brian, The words that come out of your mouth should be 0-1!!
Pretty much Ben and Aufar more manly than me said how to kill them. As with any rough HTH combat unit you shoot them dead. Keep in mind where his Icons are (and remember the Bloodthirster is an Icon too).

Prevent defense....Kill the closest icons to control where the demons can come out.
