I fell in love with the sisters a long time ago after getting the deamonifuge from a library book sale but my real love became the sons of Curze when I discovered them, I don't care if their rules are trashcan, as soon as I saw the glorious raptors/warp talons in midnight clad crackling with lightning and those skull helms with the ornate batwings I knew I had found my guys, the fluff just cemented my love!

One tip I can give - find someone good in 3d printing and order in bulk sets of torso and legs. With that bits alone, you can easly double ( in case of some sets even triple ) amount of guardsmen you can assemble from each box.
@Bluecho4
@Bluecho4 2 жыл бұрын
Another way is to buy from Wargames Atlantic. Depending on the box set, if you buy the same box in bulk for the big discount, you can get 200-300 models for $265. 400 models, if you buy the Afghan Warriors box. (Granted, you'd need a lot of supplementary weapon parts if you want anything besides "lasguns", and even infantry heavy lists don't need more than ~300 guardsmen; you could probably get away with the 5 box deal for 200 models and supplement with other units...or the upcoming Afghan Cavalry, if you want some Rough Riders).

I'm a big fan of the Vostroyan relic "the armor of graf toshenko!" It makes your company commander have a 2+ save and go to T:4. It's come in handy against snipers and melee threats. Also funny if he gets caught on his own and my opponent shoots a bunch of boltguns into him only for him to save all of them.

My two hot tips: 1. You can include a chimera for every infantry choice in your army and support characters like pyskers have the keyword. Therefore dump them in your tank detachment so you can take double flamer chimeras with gunnery experts while your troops have wilderness survivors and disciplined shooters. 2. A master of ordenance gives a 6" re roll 1s to manticores if they shoot over 36". Park them at the back of the board and gamble the 35 points on getting first turn to drop 16% more pain on your enemy from two tanks. Combined with gunnery experts and tank ace it's an alpha strike that could level an opponent's heavy hitters before they can load on command phase buffs in their turn. And a bonus tip for point 1, if you're taking a small scion force for deep strike you should put them in your tank detachment and the commander with your troops. They don't get doctrines anyway so they can unlock more chimeras, while the tempestor in the other detachment doesn't use a command slot you're saving for a tank commander

I don't play Guard, but I hope GW gives a buff to Grenade Launchers, Flamers, and Wyrdvanes. GL's and Flamers should be more common then Plasmas likewise, and I think the Grenade Launchers is an iconic guard weapon.

Was kind of hoping to heat about some of the other incidentals: Enginseers, Fleet Officer, Ordnance, and Comumissar, but I'm guessing it's just that they are weak enough, these days, as to be just niche, or just no. Also, while I still think that the IG is my favorite army, and if I was going to invest in one, it would either be them or Adepta Soroitas, I do wish they compared similarly to others, who can still be mortal forms, but ride bikes, use jump packs, and the like. It's sometimes weird how they seem to just be shooting troops, barring Catachan melee, and tank spam, where so many other armies do have some fast air, fast wheels, and punchy stuff. I know they have Bullgryns, and they could just borrow some Astartes for what I feel they are missing, but I still wish they had some mobile heavy weapons, like Attack Bikes, which even Orks manage, jet/jump packs (again Orks), or I'm unsure what else. Still, a good army, with some great options, even if I whine. Grab an Inquisitor, an Assassin, or some FA Space Marines, and great.

Straken +1 attack aura works only in fight phase, not shooting as priest one does. In Russia we are used wyrdwanes widely. Combo with primaris makes buffs magic more reliable, and still option to throw two smites, from wyrds on 2+ and from primaris on 3+ where 9+ is d6 smite. Also 3 squad men is good for actions, you can do them even if boosting primaris. They are fragile, but hide em in ruins. Also guard suffer from Assasinate secondary mission, as wants lots of characters, combo primaris + wyrds costs one character less. And i love combo with engeneers and implacable detention warlord trait. Give em auto 6 advance and order shoot after running. From chimers they have treat range of 3+6+6+6=21. Especially good this trait on death rider commander.

tbh, my army is mostly Leman Russ' due to money, i can't afford the sheer amount of infantry needed to be effective, so the loss of the Vigilus stuff was a hard hit to my army, which centres around a Spearhead detachment, with a supporting patrol of infantry. Full payload basilisk with aerial spotters and gunnery experts is hilarious though. potentially 6 shots rerolling failed hits with flat 3 damage is great, especially against armys with feel no pains.

Got the strongest allies with scions on average I'm kicking out six to eight mortal wounds against custodies with one squad of 10 then with weird vein psychos and psychos you can use the stratagem to get plus to cost and really lay on the hut with mortal wounds. Usually this is just enough to test or anything over the course of the game using one's called per 10 for the stratagem and keeping the other two hidden so three turns of just destroying anything

Great video as always! Could you (or someone else in the comments) elaborate on the rules interaction between Creed and Tank Aces. On page 140 in the codex it says "If a named character with the specific regiment keyword is your Warlord, they must be given the associated Warlord Traits." I read this as barring us from exchanging Creed's Warlord Trait for a Tank Ace. Furthermore, the Tank Ace ability says "If an ASTRA MILITARUM CHARACTER is your Warlord, rather than determining a Warlord Trait for that model, you can instead select one Tank Ace ability for an ASTRA MILITARUM VEHICLE model from your army." Since Creed's Warlord Trait is predetermined, I don't think we are allowed to forego it for a Tank Ace. I really hope that I am wrong, as a Cadian player, I think it would be great to get two free CPs and a decent order unit with no drawback.

@@caseco4979 No, Straken (or Creed for that matter) does not have to be your Warlord. It is only if you do make a named character your Warlord that you cannot exchange their Warlord Trait for a Tank Ace. However, I would advise against making a Tank Commander your Warlord since they do not have the character protection (Look out sir). Even if your Warlord is not your Tank Commander, you can still exchange their Warlord Trait for a Tank Ace that you can give to your Tank Commander. For example, it is better to make a Company Commander your Warlord, give them a Relic and forego the Warlord Trait for a Tank Ace. This way your relic bearer will be much more safe.

So just create an invincible deathstar of Conscripts by -combining 2 or 3, 30 man Conscripts squads -give them a 5++, then you can use psychic barrier for +1 save, then you can use take cover for another +1 save to have 60 wounds with a 3+ invuln -any time spent trying to shift that is just wasted shots, so let them perpetually sit on 1 or 2 midfield objectives

You cant combine conscript squads. Its only infantry squads that are viable. Also. take cover was FAQ'ed to not work on invuln saves like... 2 years ago.

I actually enjoy wyrdvane psykers a lot combined with a primaris Psyker and the 1CP stratagem psykic conclave. They all get cast and deny +1 and add 2 to All their rolls. If you protect them Well you get four pretty strong casts out of this. Had them behind a baneblade once and after nightshroud and psykic Barrier I got and excellent and Hard to deny maelstrom and smite out of it. Baneblade Was Hard to Touch after that and a lot of psykic punishment in Addition. Was a lot of fun to play

Wyrdvane pyskers do not get a cast per model, they get one per unit. As the squad of three is a single unit, that means one cast.

Currently debating running a mixed unit of Custodians and Guard. Terminators for fun Deepstrike capabilities, Guard and Sagittarum for decent shooting/melee punch, a Telemon with a fist and Cannon for versatility, with a Tank Commander, some Infantry Squads for backline obsec, and maybe some Sentinels for some more pressure. I have about half of that currently, got to get some more squads, a few Sentinels, and some Wardens (I use Warden bodies for Sagittarum with AoS Crossbows, saves money). Does anyone have any neat alternatives for Sentinels?

Gotta say that I find the Eradicator nova cannon quite solid, but I do more casual than competitive play. Despite this I find I get more bang for my buck from nova cannons than I do from the gatling cannon. But that may just be my luck with dice. I also find hvy weapon squads with mortars to be quite solid too, though I find the other choices to he disappointing

Sororitas dumpster marines as a whole, including GK and TS which they pretty much hard counter.

@@loltwest9423 Why wouldn't you run tons of special and heavy weapons? Sisters get them cheaply across all their squads. Argent Shroud 4xSB Dominions and 4xMM Rets hiding in a Rhino will reach into marines' deployment zone and badtouch anything you want to kill without them able to respond. MM Rets are still cheaper than Eradicators, pump out more shots, and have miracle dice support. Ebon Chalice 4xHF Seraphim can dish out mortals at will on an 85pt, 12" fly unit. BR Repentia, Sacresancts, Zephyrim are all incredibly cheap and can be thrown away, or be thrown into things and expected to massacre whatever they go into. Imagine - 10x LC/SS Vanvets are *more* expensive than 20 Repentia. Marines need Rites of War to contest points with obsec efficiently with their power units - we get it on a 65 pt character who also functions as our Chaplain. The only thing that is somewhat bad in the codex are the vehicles, but the Castigator and the Exorcist are still better options than the Gladiator and Predator. What even in Codex: Space Mehrines is giving you trouble? If you're going into GK and TS you just take the 5+ deny sacred rite, and spam the use of Suffer Not the Witch and Purity of Faith. Laugh as you negate the reason why they play the faction, then snipe Magnus with your massed MM Retributors.

I think you are correct since it states on page 140 in the codex that "If a named character with the specific regiment keyword is your Warlord, they must be given the associated Warlord Traits." I don't think there are any FAQs on this matter. If there were, they would probably be removing this rules interaction rather than cementing it. I would nevertheless love for it to be legal. It would almost be an auto-include in any Cadian list.

Completely agree with the heavy weapons squads, they need to be moved to troops and get a + sv or t from the weapons shields to justify them, which is a shame as for me this is a defining part of the fortification nature of the guard

I like my heavy weapons especially the mortars, under cover, out of sight, and dropping destruction from the sky, as to the others try to position them where they don't have to move, most have about 48 inch range which can dominate a fare bit of the board, I like my sentinels as well, aside from being great models they are relitivly cheap firepower, what more could you want.

I'm not saying he's wrong about Wyrdvane Psykers, but Psychic Conclave for 1 cp is a game changer. Being able to cast two powers with them and the Primasis as well as +2 to their result? That isn't bad. Not saying it's so good it is a must include, but it if you have an Astropath too you could potentially have 5 powers (or more) going off. Assuming of course the dice aren't being fickle or your opponents haven't thought of this and just blasted the Wyrdvane Psykers off the table right away to cut the head off this snake.... on second thought no. Their still a waste of points.
