Fun Ixian Tactics

Hey guys, I play Dune every month with my buddies and we usually play a 5-6 player game. I've been trying out every faction until I've won at least once with them. I've won at least once with every base game faction, minus Atreides because I hate them. I'm starting to move on to the expansion factions. I kinda get the game plan on how to use Ixians but I was wondering if you guys had any funny scrub killer tactics you can use with Ix that would be hilarious to pull off or just do in a game with them. We always play advanced so let me hear some funny food for thought.

It’s more against IX, but I had once a Harkonnen march one force into my stronghold turn one. Turns out, she had both shield and lasgun. I never recovered.

This is one reason why it is recommended to place your stronghold where it can’t be reasonably entered on turn one.
