Oh Noes! Phobos units do no damage! Enter: Hounds of Morkai. Ask the Norn Emissary they met last tournament...

Real question: Are phobos ugly and stupid? Yeah. There, nobody should use them ever

Great video guys, hope the tournament went well. I've got one this weekend. But I'm going to have to change my list 😢 I didn't realize suppressor squads were so hard to find. I was looking around different LGS in Kansas City. Ans couldn't find any suppressors. So I traded them for scouts and took the 20 points on the chin I guess.

The big problem for me with Incursors is that they dont have infiltrate it would make them so much better

I played a lot of Phobos at the start of 10th Ed, and bouncing two Invictor Warsuits around with Guerilla Tactics was a lot of fun. Especially after Tank Shocking something to death with S14 melee profile. I love the Tank Shock change to Toughness but for a while the Warsuit Tank Shock was SCARY!

This is the best channel of late. Every topic is interesting and gets me thinking a lot. How did the tourney go? We finally painting our IF army because of your inspiration.

In my casual games, people always expect me to remind them of reactive moves and will then measure to ensure they don’t trigger it. Is that something I should allow?

I thought this was serious lol

Vanguard Spearhead enjoyers. Nobody needs to talk about Infiltrators and Scouts; Everyone uses these guys, they're baller. The Lieutenant with Combi Weapon (Lone Op) is getting some attention too, with the lone op buffs and especially in Vanguard with the +30 points vect upgrade. Thomas Byrd, renowned Ultramarine fan, really likes Incursors in transports. Give the transport scout to move up and then disembark and throw the 2D3 mortal wound grenade at a tank.

I'm calling it now. You will see allied Spectrus Killteams everywhere after the Imperial Agents codex drops if they keep their current rules! Omni scrambles, infiltrate, scout 6", pick up off board.

omni scramblers are wicked, the 12" is actually radial.. making it a complete 24" bubble. because its 12" from the models.. so its 12" in all directions.. Thats awesome!!!

Great video! Would love to see Steve talk about how his Anvil did in Tacoma! I love the fists! Rooting for you all the way!

Eliminators are fantastic! I take 3x3 of them. And i play blood angels Taking out heros is great

I love the Invictor Tactical Warsuit I think it's a great model, but if it was 115pts I would bring it

Keep in mind, for infiltrators, you can only gain 1 CP per turn. This includes discarding secondaries too.

I’m very excited to do some degenerate Phobos-style stuff with the new agents codex. Be prepared for rogue trader led breachers to put you in inquisition jail immediately

Infiltrators are really good, but honestly, most of my other Phobos stuff has remained on the shelf this edition. I had a couple of warsuits in my dread iron storm until the iron storm nerf and the nerf to tank shock killed that for me. I also used eliminators in early tenth, but the (unjust) 10 point price increase and scouts being so cheap has made them a lot less interesting.

The charge shenanigan is great. If they only charge 1 you can make it so they can't with the inter-mingle move you stated here. If they charge both, move 1 to block them from basing the second and they can't complete the charge even though you may be close now. It's truly disgusting.

Me, A Raven Guard player: "All of my marines are phobos"

I have just enough points! Great analysis, guys. Thanks for upload.

Eliminator snipers have heavy for ASF lovers.stay still and you’re +1 to hit +1 to wound and dev wounds. Against most characters you hit on 2s and wound on 2s.

5 Infiltrators with a phobos Librarian is a huge piece of safe screening. I use it whenever I'm running Raptors.

I'm certain I'm not the first to think of it, but I've been theory crafting with the vanguard detachment recently. Running a full squad of Centurion Devastators with Grav Cannons, giving them deepstrike with Uriel Ventris, giving them the option for Upie Downies, combined with Strike From the Shadows they can one shot any knight or landraider on average, and even a very decent shot of one shooting a Stompa. It's jank, but jank is fun!

Nice video. Bikes should have Haywire mines

You guys are keeping me in the fight right now. The Soldiers love you both!

I hadn't thought about the charge strat like that. I am definitely going to keep that in mind moving forward, because that is NASTY!

As a Raven Guard player, this video makes me smile :)

Gladius TF: LR Crusader, Tor Garadon, Biologis with Fire Discipline, 6 Aggressors 😜

If i ever pick up space marines i would play mainly phobos. I'm sure it wouldnt really function, but they're the coolest looking marines imo.

love the vid guys thanks! I played the vanguard recently and realised that the calculated feint thing is so OP. however on the recharge, they never have to roll the boxcars, cause the 11 would be able to get them in no? a 12 means they'd be outside of 12 to be within the inch engagement?

I’ve been back and forth with having an eliminator squad and 2 war suits in my anvil force. Scout the suits up to the eliminators and just park em. Get that Phobos wizard with the eliminators and dare your opponent to come and get some.

Hey Guys! I love using a unit of incursors for the +1 to hit "mini oath." I usually run a stormspeeder thunderstrike as well, so i hit one monster or vehicle for the +1 to hit and +1 to wound in the shooting phase, and then typically oath a target I plan to hit hard in the fight phase.

What do we think to the 1st company task force with the new captain ability? You can make one seriously tanky assault terminator squad that procs battleshock to just remove a model with the enhancement. It just sounds funny

🔥🎸🔥

16:05 this also works with Gladius squad tactics strat!!

Another great video!

What's your opinion on the Raven Guard chapter master shrike? He can basically turn jump intercessors into phobos since he has the keyword.

Loving the little dives into the under represented unit types. Steve I’m wondering if you’ve tried the eliminator spam in Anvil Siege Force? When my local group first saw the codex we were all talking about different combinations like the eliminator spam in Anvil. The las fusils all have heavy already, giving the carbine to the sgt means they can fire and fade to position them after moving up the board. If they’re stationary they get dev wounds on their d6 dmg las fusils with +1 to wound. Also for all those SW players out there who have a grudge against Magnus, send some Hounds of Morkai if you haven’t already done so. As for normal uses for Phobos, at least one unit of infiltrators are a near auto include in my SM lists for enormous screening potential against armies like GK, Chaos Demons, etc. I might have to give incursors a revisit though.

I like the phobos lieutenant for scout moving transports forward.

Lieutenant in Phobos armor is great with incursors. I think this interaction may have been missed? So he has the lethals aura but also can let a unit d6 extra move after shooting. Great for huge threat ranges and tying up a unit or two etc. he still scout moves, so he can still work with the squad for stuff.

Stop giving away all my Top Secret Tech! lol, Where/When do we get the Tacoma rundown and how Steve made out? I'd love to hear a tournament breakdown about your experience!

My first two purchases were the Phobos kill team and Vanguard task force boxes. I love the look of them, it's just a coincidence they happen to be useful 😂

I love the Vanguard detachment. Was such a good fit for my Alpha Legion. Phobos are a lot of fun for constantly making your opponent have to guess at what you had up your sleeve.

Unit Highlights Lets GOOOOO

12:52 Oh shit they changed it to infantry units and not phobos... another nerf 😭

As an owner of an all Phobos army, this is awesome!

Good content recently, fellas

yeah it would be great if gw showed more love for phobos aka Raven guard units nice video 👍

Thanks for this video. I have a lot of Phobos units sitting on the shelf that I was scared to use. They appear to be very weak. But now I'm going to give them a try. They should be a lot of fun to play.

I have some definite blind spots when it comes to theorycrafting and list building, and Phobos is one of them. I sometimes consider Infiltrators.. but otherwise my eyes glaze over at their anemic combat power.. I am probably gravely mistaken!
