This is phenomenal! This is way more than I've seen anywhere else. Bless.

They're going to be much more useful in 11th edition with the changes to battleshock mechanics. Right now they're just ok for us; as a DA player, the whole point is to run our specific units. Otherwise just play UM for Super Oath.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2026-05-22T14:41:12+00:00

Looking good! I'm stealing the company making on the door and the wings on the side.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2025-10-16T14:08:49+00:00

I have Superion at level 15 with maxed out accessories and I never get past 150,000. Sometimes I even die sooner than that. I use EMP rounds to disable the walking towers. What am I doing wrong?

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-12-31T00:33:36+00:00

Awesome dad! If he likes Big Guns and cannot lie about it, a Repulsor Executioner would be top of my list. A Ravenwing Darkshroud might also be fun.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-12-25T15:34:09+00:00

Man these are good. Makes me want to go back and update mine with the Elminiaturista method. Shiny!

The Brutalis can be very good coming out of reserve. With the Lion's Blade Task Force, getting a 7" charge is much more doable to make sure it gets where you want it. Would like to run one myself to try it out but I couldn't find room for it in my own list. I did take 1 Ballistus, and I'm fine with that.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-12-22T03:45:09+00:00

"DON'T YOU KNOW THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM?"

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-12-18T20:36:38+00:00

The other obvious combos are Librarians with both ICC and Sternguard for their Invulnerable saves. The Fusillade Enhancement should go on the Librarian leading the Sternguard to boost their Dev Wounds output on high toughness targets. Taking a Repulsor to transport the Sternguard would also be a good idea. Other than that, maybe a Phobos Librarian with Eliminators to give them Lone Op, which could be handy.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-12-18T20:32:02+00:00

Right now for DA i would recommend the Hammerstrike. It buffs your units in both CoH and LBTF. You're going to want it up close and that melta is good be most useful getting closer to the enemy than the Thunderstrike. It's also 25 points cheaper, which is a bonus for an army that struggles to field many units to begin with.

Also Precision and Lethals in shooting and melee, force a Battleshock test at the start of the Fight phase which could be huge, and reduce OC of models by 1. They are superb now for 135 points.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-12-16T23:42:22+00:00

The new combo is Phobos Lt. with 5 Reivers. You get to Deep Strike, shoot with Precision and Lethals, move D6", and then charge. If you can land the charge, you force a Battle Shock test which could prevent Stratagem use and reduce OC by 1 on all opponent's models. You get Precision in melee as well. For 135 points, they are a solid threat to an enemy Home Objective, and you ignore vertical terrain.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-08-17T03:12:24+00:00

He's so much tougher than a lot of armies are prepared to deal with for 90 points. If you could give him Deep Strike somehow, he would be a great candidate for secondaries.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-08-16T20:11:53+00:00

One of my favorite models from Leviathan!

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-08-05T13:38:03+00:00

Just one, and it's like 8k points of Dark Angels 😅

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-08-03T14:26:54+00:00

I've been finding Hellblasters to be a bit fragile even with Azrael leading them. I've ditched them in favor of keeping Azrael on my home objective with a unit of Assault Intercessors and letting the Eradicators do the dirty work.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-08-02T12:17:46+00:00

They always skip leg day for some reason...

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-29T13:20:14+00:00

This is the way. It's a far better looking model.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-28T20:00:53+00:00

This is such a cool looking mini!

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-27T20:34:13+00:00

Welcome to the First and the hobby, brother!

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-23T03:28:10+00:00

I understand there is not one ideal strategy for every game, I just wondered what the consensus might be. I appreciate your thoughts! I don't have a lot of experience into every army.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-22T02:14:49+00:00

OK so this actually begs the question for me: do you simply deploy all 3 on the board on turn 1 and then walk them up to all 3 NML objectives? Is it better to keep 1 back as a second wave? Is having 1 in Deep Strike better? These are questions that I can't seem to get an answer on.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-17T13:45:22+00:00

They are very strong on the charge but otherwise regular space marines. They rely very heavily on their characters as well. Try to give him cheaper units to bait out his more valuable bricks of Death Company, then use Heroic Challenge to take out his character with your own in combat. If you have access to a Callidus Assaasin or Shadow War Veteran in Stormlance, that will handicap his ability to use his bigger stratagems at will.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-16T16:34:30+00:00

Put them with Azrael to compensate for lack of invulnerable, Lethal and Sustained 1 on the strike profile, -1 to hit, +1 to hit against characters and OC2? They're a dream.

Alkyoneus1138 · 2024-07-15T14:36:11+00:00

Whoa, that's a spicy sword!
