CORRECTIONS:
– Wisdom of the Ancients from the dreadnought is only infantry in an aura. Still pretty great though given scar hellblasters and desolation marines.
Huh time to sort out what is what between my VanVets and Assualt Squad jumpers.
Scout bikes are broken. 150pts for 6 grenade launcher shots and 12 str 4 shotgun shots. 18 wounds at T5. 9inch scout move and 12 inch regular move for an average first turn charge threat range of 28 inches to get 15 str 4 attacks in melee and a special weapon on the sergeant on top of all of it.
i love how 10 storm guardians cost more than 5 heavy intercessors LUL and rangers can be shot at any distance while scouts cant..
Why are ELDAR the least sneaky snipers? wtf
Man I'm still so salty that Shrike can't lead anything Primaris. Was thinking about having him lead something like reivers. Deep strike and some extra bodies to soak up damage if need be.
I think my previous comment vanished but Blood Angel's are really good for van vets of both variety. Can get 50 lethal hit attacks at S7 -2ap damage 1. A free strat use for the one that gives you lance and thats wounding gravis and termis on 2s
Important notice about Inceptors is that they are now base Dam2. Supercharged it is Dam3.
I hate how boring the dreadnought list looks without a proper Relic Contemptor or Leviathan -.-
Did you forget about the Reivers' wargear giving them deep strike and ignoring vertical terrain when moving? That's quite a bit of utility
Honestly the ironclad dreadnought goes kinda hard at those points… So much firepower
I dont care how well the desolation squad performs for the points cost, I'm NOT touching those uggo models
6 Bladeguard vets with attached captain and lieutenant (and maybe even a bladeguard ancient) will make a MEATY melee unit especially with captains having finest hour and lieutenants having lethal hits and fall back w/ shoot+charge
I'm confused so can you still take invader atv's without having outriders?
YYEEESSSS!!!!! I CAN FINALLY JUSTIFY A WHIRLWIND¡!!!¡!¡!!!!!!!¡!¡!
I'm a lil hurt about the 205 on the warbucket but, I am very happy about impulsors, repulsors, and finally the blessed whirlwinds.
That's meth'd up.
Glad you can leave it all behind, hope you're victims can as well…
Thanks, great summary. And nice to see many of the units I was thinking about for my new Raven Guard army really stack up well! It'll be pricy, but I want to play around with 2 five man Infiltrator Squads with Phobos Librarians to prevent them being shot outside 12".
With squad caps, is it that you take 5 or 10? Or can take in between, 7 intercessors for example?
Just played a game against my wife's Orks yesterday. I absolutely can confirm that Assault Squads with Jump Packs are totally worth the points, especially when accompanied by a Captain with Jump Pack.
Space Marines scored well….certainly better than CSM which are overcosted for what they do compared to SM battleline units. Even tacticals get the ability that chosen get LMFAO. Heavy Intercessors are 2pts more than a CSM but getter +1T, better armour and better gun. Please dont tell me a mark, risking D3 mortals each attack and a heavy weapon balance that out.
5 Assault Terminators with Hammers and Shields, a Terminator Captain for Charge Reroll and an Ancient in Terminator Armour all together in a Land Raider Crusader. That's good stuff!
The terminator assault squad looks a lot worse than the normal one imo, hitting on 4s isnt worth devastating wounds
Where have Venerable Dreadnoughts gone??
Let's gooo!!
I just wish the Desolation Squads didn't look like such doodoo… I'm gonna have to look for some conversions.
I find that Predators to be dirt cheap Anti tank.
3 Prediators Anhilators each got 2x Lascannons 1x Twinlinked lascannon (with higher str) 1 HK missile and a stormbolter,
3 Prediator Destructors Predator Autocannon, 2 Lascannons or 2Heavybolter (role depending) and a HK missile and a stormbolter.
The 6 tanks above cost 795pts and should be able to dominate the AntiArmor on field. even killing elite expensive units. thats assuming you fit them all with Lascannons.
3 twinlinked predator lascannon shots, 12 lascannon shots, 12 predator autocannon shots, 6 HK missiles, and 12 stormbolter shots ….. thats alot of DAKKA from an orc perspective. The best part is its spread out over 6 baskets so its harder to kill off….
I hate it how the primaris champion gets adv/charge, heroic int 0CP but the master of executions can go kick rocks
Was hoping a Chaplain was going to be able to attach to a unit that has a captian but alas, my bladeguard vets will either have a captian or a chaplain when i field them. Or shoving him in a impulsor with 5 assault Intercessors for a mid field melee dump.
I've seen Astraeus tank in one of the recent 10th edition batrep but it seems that rules for it are nowhere to be found. Am I missing something?
People keep complaining that no points for upgrades is silly buts thats how most armies worked at the end of ninth and no one was complaining
