I’m convinced you have no idea what your talking about an just look up tournament data spew nonsense to casual players …. Clearly you have not felt death company 😂
One adition for the Sydonian Dragoon. He gets Advance and Charge as part of his ability. he also rerolls desperate escape attempts and can fall back and charge.
sydonian dragoons nativly have advance and charge
As a necron player, it's really sad that I knew the answer before even clicking the video. Suffering from success:(
Adrax with assault intercessors is a fun combo. It is deceptively powerful. Taking a hammer on the sarge helps take done big threats along with the grenades start while the rest of the unit blend lighter troops and do reasonable on heavier entities by virtue of the number of attacks.
5 Legios+MoE+Dark Apostle hit harder then Chosen+CL. And only cost 20pts more. Change my mind, plx 🙂
Space wolves codex 2028~
Thank you for compiling all this information and presenting it to us. 😊
Aberrants are crazy expensive
The best marine melee unit is something you ally in from custodes or knights har har har
It's depressing from a game and lore standpoint that the Lion, the ultimate duelist, can't Even take top spot in his own chapter with the current codex.
Honourable mention for the Death Company Dreadnought, the only unit I am aware of that can daisy chain himself through multiple fights in one fight phase through his special rule and consolidation (and Blood Angels SoS can pay a CP to consolidate up to 6" instead of 3"). On the charge he is (with the Furioso fists), 6A, S14, Ap3, 3 damage, he also gets +2 to his charge rolls charging monsters or vehicles (7" charges out of strategic reserves), and natively re-rolls all hits AND all wounds. He also, every time he gets attacked, he gets to fight back, so if you don't kill him and he is able to keep consolidating into new units, thus triggering more fights, thus triggering his ability to fight back.
As or the Astra Militarium tank commander with sword… I get the meme but I just have to know something. What are his melee stats with his sword, if there even is a stat.
I feel torn about highlighting Deathleaper as the best melee-Nid; point for point, undeniably the best value, but it still feels wrong… What did they do to our poor murder-machines?!
GW, "oh all weapons can be shot by a vehicle!" What about melee? Nah vehicles can only attacker with one melee weapon!? Wtf!!!
Ive always wanted Aggressors, just reading the Marneus Calgar, Biologis, 6x Aggressor combo makes me so excited to want to try.
I always want to try creating a Deathwatch Army, im not sure what it is, but they just seem like a fun army to throw out.
Let's pour one out for the Tau Onager Gauntlet+Thermo Neutronic Coldstar Commander in 9th edition. Boy howdy did he do the work so often and be a nasty sting in the tail.
As much as mozrog is an absolute beast he is very situational. I'd put in his place a squad of 6 mega nobs with twin killsaws. Especially if they are with ghaz as they are plus one to hit and wound. Prettyuch gunu be 2's and 2's on everything. Much more versatile
Can't you just put the 4+ shield on one of them then 4 wound shield on the rest?
People who clicked to laugh at tau
Great vid. For my Tyranids, I like your choices, but there are a few i WANT to be good, so badly. I have always had a soft spot for genestealers, but they are just missing… something. Also, I think the Toxicrene could be amazing, but there is ALWAYS something holding this poor guy back, like the model itself, in this edition. Oh, well. Here's hoping he'll be good one day!
Flaggelants are really, really good and most non-Sororitas players dont expect them to lol
Dreadknights are alot better now that we are back to ws 2+ but at the end of the day the sheer number of attacks from the terms plus draigo's titansword just chunk everything. I'm still sad we can't run daemonhammers
Mozrog and Beastboss on Squig dumped THIRTY MORTAL WOUNDS into a Tantalus today. Yup, that actually happened 🎉
Looks like everyone kept their damage 2 sweep attack except the lion.
Why guard over blade champ?
Wraith + Technomancer are sooo hard to move. Last Tournament i faced a Grey Knights Player and he made the 9" Charge into my Nightbringer.
He charged with 5 Terminator + Grandmaster. So Lethal Hits on Charge and no 1/2 Dmg for me and Nightbringer was a goner.
But i sent 6Wraith with Technomancer in and at the End of the game his Squad was deleted and the Wraith still stood there, all 6 of them.
