I think this is why guard is most often seen as non competitive, the best way to play the guard is usually to go all out on the russes and heavy vechicles However the loyal and humble guardsmen captured the heart of all guard players

@@arbiters487 I just let out one tear for the 240 conscripts, 3 manticore list

@@anonymousguy720 240 conscripts, all painted bright piss yellow, no movement trays. Now that's The War Hamming Experience as God and James Workshop intended.

I'd love to see an ultra-elite Militarum list.

@@jossypoo okay now I really want Ogryns/Bullgryns to be good enough that they're worth spamming.

In all fairness nids are a very diverse army

@@shadybr1t177 that's true, they're my primary army, but it's underlined at the same place in a bunch of the sections

Tyranids are good at everything bugs of all trades

holy shit it's john tyranid

The point of Nids is they can adapt to anything.

To some extent, Death Guard would probably fall under any time the video mentions Chaos Space Marines. While they don't have all the tricks CSM has, they cover much of the same ground.

Or as my most memorable game against Eldar Soup went: this point is mine, you can't take it *sets up lawn chair and umbrella and plops onto the objective, shrugging off Shurikens*

@@Bluecho4Narr Death Guard (and Nurgle in general) are the own army archetype. That of the slow moving tank army. There extreme toughness make’s dealing difficult but this comes at the cost to speed which is extremely easy to play around though

I’m worried that Death Guard are slowly slipping down the scale, more and more obscure and weaker…sigh

@@kevinolexa8828 possibly. I expect in 10th that we will see a unified Nurgle army list like we have AoS

We need Codex: Inquisition in 10th

Sometimes I miss the old blast rules

Yeah but I love blast against otherwise insanely resilient Necron hordes

@Carlo Lanasa things with blast already have volume of fire. Guaranteed max shots at 11+ is cancer and pigeonholes, the meta into durability stacking. When it's partnered with the way leadership is done. Other than 20 model necron warrior units. I haven't faced an enemy unit of more than ten since the 7th edition. Facing orks or nids doesn't feel like it once did. You're facing big bugs or clanky vehicles. With some elite mobs or minimum size chaff to hold an objective. Every army plays essentially the same strategy in the 9th edition, at their core. Take your most durable points efficient models. Take characters that can buff them or go solo. And fill your points with chaff objective control to hold a point or two. That's effectively what most armies that win build out. Each faction just does it a little differently, is all. It has gotten boring as a result. I want to play a tournament where I might face a space marine army of terminators and primaris with a couple dreads. Then the next match face an ork waaagh of over 100 infantry surging across the board in a tide. And then have towering Knights threatening me the next match. I want to be challenged in army compositions, as well as player skill and faction strength. Right now, I can safely bring high yield low volume firepower or melee and confidently win. Knowing that anything 1 wound is going to be in such small units. That my elite and vehicle killing weapon load outs will still do the job just fine.

... Man, Luigi is so screwed when that trailer drops...

@@mistformsquirrel nah Luigi will easily defeat hil by simply doing nothing at all

My assumption is it's a powerful central focus point that if it's sniped early you are dead in the water

And it was glorious to see... Even more when said Land Raiders took themselves out of the equation via deep striking right into a difficult/dangerous terrain XD

@@Fayheurblode I meaaaaan, the bigger the amount of points that fall victim to the capriciousness of the dice gods the better!

@@MrBadmonkeycw indeed it was nice to me this day during fifth… I did though fall to a fate even worse during one game in eighth where one of my land raiders exploded and brought down most of my heavy hitters : - a Centurion squad that was inside to get faster in range - an apothecary - a Librarian in terminator armor - a Vanguard Veterans squad that all happened to be just in the vicinity

I bet. Only one heavy weapon type per squad? Motherfuckers

I carry those larger fragile models with foam. The base fitting snug inside the foam with a few inches surrounding the base. You can get a taller case designed for the foam you buy so the foam itself fits snug. If that all makes sense.

Another easy-ish way is to magnetize their bases and add sheet magnets to the bottom of a simple case. It's pretty cost-efficient and not hard at all.

You could also magnetize parts of the model to allow the model to disassemble into individual parts for safer storage.

As a battlefoam patron I use one of 2 methods, depending on how many centerpieces I have. If it's just one piece, I take my hobby knife and cut a hole in the floor of the next tray to create the space I need. I measure how mucb vertical space is required and use the rest of the pluck foam tray for anything in my army that could fit there. Alternatively, if I have several similar pieces that all require the extra space, I just flip the other tray over and have it mirror the one below it. With this method you can safely create up to 7" of vertical space for any miniatures without having to take a knife to your precious foam trays.

rip AT

@@hahaureadmyname I am only a part-time grammar/spelling nazi, but this was such an egregious crime that I just couldn't let it pass...

Do they have enough damage output? They move slow and throw a bunch of damage 2 attacks - the easiest attack to neuter with lots of -1 damage around.

@@mortenbrandtjensen6470 doctrine + salamander specifically flamer stratagem. Apothecary beings back or heals wounds they take. They look out sir for him. Gain shrug in his pressence

GK is primarily an elite psychic army - very few models on the table and everyone is a psyker. They lean towards melee, and while their shooting isn't bad it is closer range (

Where did he use it in the vid? I missed it if it was in there. At a guess, a slang term for something that allows a save against mortal wounds like the Death Skull Ork clan has, kind of like a wound shrug/+++ save (which are also slang) but only applying to mortals, not any wound. Unlike Age of Sigmar I don't think it's actually a term in-game.

Melee mixture more towards elites.

@@LeftClick a 10 man Terminator squad should do the work?

@@jaczeta8900 Sword Brethren Terminators were a classic in 4th Edition, good times.

Its just that skitarii are different from general mechanicum force, in books skitarii depicted as huge hordes that swarm everything. So they act like couple heavy hitters (not 2k scale, talking about titans) and swarms of skitarii beneath them.
