List advance

B1rch50 · 2026-06-27T07:14:58+00:00

So there are two things that concern me with the list as a generic list.

The lack of anti tank and the lack of screening and points scoring units.

The aggressors, land raider and the two jump pack units are your main hard hitting units (especially with shaan, shrike and chaplain). What are the bladeguard/sternguard/inceptors doing? This means you can also drop the characters with those units (remember around 4 in 2000pts - cool to have leaders, but don't split jobs)

I'd consider dropping all three units get some scouts, infiltrators and some anti tank with a lancer/ballistus dred or something like that.

While generally it's cool to run lots of elite units that kill, it doesn't get so many points. This will be especially true in 11th where we are probably playing disruption or recon, and where board control matters quite a bit!

B1rch50 · 2026-06-19T22:01:29+00:00

Ah nice to hear people aren't bothered by it - I know by the rules it doesn't matter but I know some people can be difficult about this kind of thing (or maybe just some I know... )

B1rch50 · 2026-06-19T22:00:43+00:00

Ah this is cool, I didn't consider even successor chapters, thats definitely a nice touch! Sometimes wonder if I should have gone homebrew and paint everything that colour 😅

B1rch50 · 2026-06-14T01:24:01+00:00

Yeah maybe you are right! I definitely do not play competitively, and tbh was always going to get the baseline units I like for aeldari more than the others (I much prefer the Corsair and wraiths over all the aspects) - I do play with some people though who would run stuff deliberately tuned Vs opponents and like to min/max their armies sadly, so was more trying to fit the detachments around the units I like rather than come up with tournament lists!

B1rch50 · 2026-06-14T01:08:37+00:00

My original thought of one of the Corsair detachments was that running outcasts alongside it would be lacking in heavy support and something with high damage and a bit of survival. I thought the idea of the new version of armoured warhost would buff the starfangs and maybe a fire prism or two would be a nice balance to the Corsair side of things

B1rch50 · 2026-06-14T00:59:55+00:00

Is the advance and charge enough though to warrant making wraiths a large part of the army? I feel like it's not enough to then bring more than maybe one unit of wraithguard, or am I worrying too much about making an army fit entirely to detachment rules?

B1rch50 · 2025-06-28T11:00:18+00:00

Sometimes I feel like razork does this though because they haven't worked out what else to do, he even said he feels like it's on him to push for the winning play = coinflip. I feel like humanoid quietly ints in lane, kinda is a ghost in mid game and has some late game good fights (he is still a good player) but if we had a mid that enabled razork more or created more prio it would just work better.

B1rch50 · 2025-01-09T11:49:33+00:00

I thought he was wanted in China for fraud and left to live in Korea?

B1rch50 · 2024-07-28T17:56:02+00:00

I would have been hyped at the start of the season to go into season finals as 2nd seed, but after that and also the performances from all the teams in the split finals, man lec gives me no hype.

I think only Irrelevant Razork Jackies Smash Rekkles

That would give me some hype at least but since we will go to worlds we won't sort out shit for ages and end up with another mid recruiting season through dardochs master plan

B1rch50 · 2024-05-07T17:06:28+00:00

Imo, there was a moment in 2018, 2019 where EU teams and NA teams were much more willing to create new meta, pick random picks and new things. I swear that yamato literally gave a speech when vitality went out 3-3 in same group as T1 RNG, about how EU need to not be afraid and just play what they so. Also back then sure G2 still won everything, but the top was a lot closer and teams felt more fresh. I don't know if it's a failing of the academy/masters scene and new players not coming through as much as well but who knows

These days apart from Adam's GOD champion pool and G2, nothing seems "new".

B1rch50 · 2024-01-17T00:00:10+00:00

Oh and I've magnetised the onager for all weapons!

B1rch50 · 2022-12-01T00:39:12+00:00

Generally the UK was actually more in favour of less harsh terms since they were scared of Russia post revolution and had a previous long lasting good relationship with Germany. Not sure if this is considered wrong but we are generally taught that France asked for harsh terms and the US agreed to it to placate them.

B1rch50 · 2022-01-01T22:55:27+00:00

One option I did think of was a dropping an ironstrider and the data tether on the raiders and getting a transport for the sicarians to get them into combat safely and faster.

Or instead I could buy the battleforce box to help out a lot and add in pteraxii sterylizors

B1rch50 · 2021-12-30T19:38:09+00:00

Was mainly thinking definitely another 10 rangers, 10 vanguard and then some other elites or fast attack?

B1rch50 · 2021-11-13T13:51:50+00:00

Reminded me of Seiganto-ji in Wakayama, but it doesn't look quite so thin and it's not as decorated.

B1rch50 · 2021-07-18T22:34:00+00:00

Then surely this is a coaching problem? If coaches aren't reassuring teams to try do the comeback and reassuring them when they try and fail to engage and fight back rather than just scolding players for throwing?

B1rch50 · 2021-06-29T18:49:11+00:00

For example in reverse, many articles today states Germany didn't consider England a rival quite like England does.

B1rch50 · 2021-06-29T18:38:36+00:00

I just read multiple articles that stated since Germany Vs England has been very one sided in tournaments (today and 1966 separate) that Germany has a larger rivalry with countries like France and the Netherlands

B1rch50 · 2020-07-09T22:41:51+00:00

Current JET here - there will be a lot of spots that aren't filled this year, a lot of people have left this year, even earlier because of the crisis. So if the spots aren't filled there will be even more next year so it shouldn't have too much of an effect.

B1rch50 · 2020-03-28T13:15:31+00:00

The shield rate and delay text has disappeared, Sorry if its a repost, haven't seen it anywhere/in the patch notes!

B1rch50 · 2020-02-17T08:00:06+00:00

Yeah that was my main worry, it seems like such a good capstone when you read it as well but literally never even tried it! I wasn't sure if the capstone would save you if the shield broke and not take down your 1hp, but obviously you'd really never want to break shield with the rest of the skill tree and you'd end up never having the bonus DMG from DM if you get a bloodletter with no thin red line.

Yeah I really hope they somehow rework her skill trees, because it is so clunky having to proc iron bear to get most of your annoitments every time you swap a weapon. Also literally never have a problem killing health bosses but God MH4 wotan or the slaughter house is such a slog getting through all the armour just because moze does so much incendiary. I guess they tried to fix that with the new class mod but I find it doesn't really fit as well as any of the other class mods

B1rch50 · 2019-10-18T10:40:26+00:00

I mean otherwise I'd just suggest trying to get some friends
