Editing Tarpit

In 40K terminology, a [[Tarpit]] is a big blob of expendable infantry intended to be a giant pain in the ass and functionally a living wall designed to slow enemies down and keep foes tied up. Ideally capable of being placed in cover, almost every faction in the [[Warhammer 40,000|the 41st Millenium]] is capable of fielding some unit or another that serves this purpose. Some are especially good at it, whilst others are simply mediocre at it.

==Tarpit Units By Army==
Below is a brief list of some classic Tarpit units favored by various factions in the 40K universe.


'''Imperial Guard:'''

*Conscript Platoon - 20+ Models for dirt cheap. Do the math.



'''Chaos Daemons:'''

*Nurglings - Gets into close-combat and keeps enemies tied up for half a game or longer.



'''Inquisition:'''

*Inducted Guardsman Squad - still not expensive.


'''Tau:'''

*Kroot Carnivores - Inexpensive infiltrating models at 7 points each. Hell of an area denial unit.

*Gue'vesa Auxillaries - Even less expensive and can't infiltrate but shooty and with decent wargear options.



'''Tyranids:'''

*Ripper Swarm - vulnerable to Instant Death and blast templates, but will tie foes up for round after round if they get close.

*Gaunts - Cheap and effective mass unit.


''Orks''

* Damn near any troops choice if fielded in sufficient numbers.
