I was originally actually going to do this with Hunter Clade but changed at the last second!

@@GlassHalfDead As a secret Clade fanbot, I'm looking forward to it.

I think it's a design decision as TSons/Warp coven have a similar lack of grenades. Which is a great idea, swap grenades for psychic, makes sense, but the problem is that I think Grenades have turned out to be more influential in a game than the designer's expected.

The next time I go for a trip I'll be sure to bring my mics, yeah. Mistake!

I'm losing hope we'll ever get one! It's taking a long ol time, that's for sure. I've been thinking of ways to get GK into a proper team that I can actually play, and so I've gone on this long arc. So the models are teeny tiny so they should be converted. Can do primaris assault intercessors, but I'm a G, so I'd do Custodes kitbashed with GK terminators. Make them the heft they should be! Then take those converted models and play them with Warpcoven rules, because that's really the only psychic specialist team. But that's a conversion and a proxy, going to be a bit tough to convince people to play that :P (although, can't lie, I just bought a bunch of blood angels death company to proxy as Void Dancers, so clearly I don't care TOO much)

Thanks! I realise that this year my quality has been very up and down. I just had this TV against a cool wall while I was away so banged this out for fun :)

That's a fair point! I think this is a video in itself. You're right that after X hits, the remaining hits don't matter, so we shouldn't focus on getting 5 hits because you're never going to use 5 hits. The reason falchions are useful is the consistency. It's not so much that they're ensuring 5 hits, it's that they're ensuring you don't spike the other way and only get 1 hit. They let you do what you expect them to do without worrying about dice. I'd have to go look at where things lie in a statistically average way to see the opponents that falchions are TECHNICALLY worse against.

I think that GK are a solid starter faction, right up there with marines. They won't take you uo top tables against skilled opponents, but they'll take you far and teach you the game! Also a great faction to have lying around to give to a friend who is new to the game and wants a learner game.

Thanks John! I think that there is room for faction focii aimed at all diffferent levels. I know exactly what you mean with the real life examples. I've considered doing a few videos like that, essentially a chess puzzle of what's the best move. I could do those and easily make it a series. I think that they wouldn't have any REAL value, but they might have a perceived value and be fun, so when I'm back home I will most likely play around with presenting a video like that :)

@@GlassHalfDead whilst I enjoy the others like Beeranid and co I just feel that it's 2 people or a group just essentially going " so you play Harlequins and they have all these movement shenanigans that can get you across the board and into the opposite drop zone in turn one don't they" then everyone laughs and go ohhhh yeh they do. Then don't actually tell you how to do it. There's probably a ton of stuff that casual players like me miss with regards to chaining strats and stuff.

@@johnmilik9909 Makes sense, sure. I think that's part of the format. He wants to keep things super concise and 11 minutes max, which means you have to gloss over the basics. I intend to do more of these faction focuses once I'm back home and can replace the TV with a greenscreen so it's much more readable and I'll have my mic back for good audio.

@@GlassHalfDead good stuff. Btw have you seen the new strategic advantage vid on how to not get shot? I liked it but was thinking at the time that stuff like this is why more casual players don't transition to comp play.

@@johnmilik9909 I've got it on the list to watch as soon as I'm back home! Why is what they say a turn off for comp play? Feels like too much just to play a game, would be my guess?

They're a great conversion project :)

Great choice! I've done off colour BT for 40k because I just love the chained weapons look :P

You know, I haven't looked at Etsy for truescale GK yet... that may well be better than converting my own which I really don't feel like doing right now... Good shout!

Thats exactly what I'm doing minus the Crowe part! I have a ton of unique helmets from the Venerable Dreadnought kit that I'm going to use to make them stand out as an elite purifier/kill team squad

I'm on your side there, I do like the models, I just love the primaris scale!

Thanks!

Not possible at the moment, but yes normally in this situation I would be using my wireless mic. don't have it with me. Just you wait for my "rivenstone interview" video. Atrocious audio! But it's all I can do for now.

@@GlassHalfDead eh fair. No digital way to kill the echo?

@@GundamReviver I'm sure there is but not really. I find that if I edit my background sound enough to the point of it making the audio quality better then it clips the end off all of my words which is infinitely more distracting 🤷‍♂️

If the split of players vs hobbyists is the same as 40k then I'm still one of the most active players in the world 😅(which is a damning statement)

Not a bad shout, can't argue with that. The Relentless is wasted on a 2+ to hit.

Thanks for the watch! Hopefully the presentation outweighed the audio issues!

Well, if you want to take your GK over to AOS then you can say they get a Ward Save there?

Except it isn’t as good as a storm bolted

Heavy :( Storm bolter will do more damage over the course of a game with its rerolls probably, too.

I'm happy that you're here fighting the good fight for the heavy gunner!

@@Remixersoloman why do 3dmg to enemy CSM each time for total 12dmg over 4 APL, when can blast him for total 8dmg+ in 1 APL? Assuming he perfect guards every time. He fails to get 3 saves? BOOM dead CSM in 1 APL. Mathhammer aside, it is also about Action Economy. That, plus Dash > Astral Aim > Fire. Cant do this with stormbolter and expect to down a CSM in 1 activation.

Hi bud. I can't do that for you but you can check out a site could wahapedia or an app called battlescribe. Good luck!

Anything is possible and frankly I'd love it! But there haven't been any leaks of either of those getting new kits... But I legit have no idea what this Friday will be for any of the games!

Thanks!

No. None at all. But in my next video in going to give them a narrative section at the end because you're right, some people really want that, good shout!

Yup! I go to Gdansk every now and again!

Yup, Compendium hasn't changed since this.

It's just in with all the other FAQ's. I think you asked and had this answered in the discord as well though, but if that was someone else, let me know and I'll track it down.

@@GlassHalfDead GHD discord to the rescue again. Cheers

Which means I can do this again but for the real team :D

The best kind of boost!

I was on holiday!

You mean like I'm someone who's making videos for fun?
