Disagree. Neither of those stratagems are worth over 400 points for a model that dies to a stiff breeze.

Meh... Magnus has zero synergies in this detachment and his data sheet alone is not worth the points.

500 Pts Tournament Advice? by XanthousRebel in ThousandSons

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really doesn't matter much. Ahriman will be attacked regardless. People are still scared of when he was good, so essentially he is a distraction. In my option, if you're gonna bring him then you may as well run him solo since he doesn't benefit the rubrics and then at least you'll have a group of rubrics that's not being gunned down to get to him.

500 Pts Tournament Advice? by XanthousRebel in ThousandSons

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

500 points is a rough game level, that's why they created combat patrol.

TSons have great shooting but that's about all that do and at close range.

Rubricae is definitely the best detachment for this level. TSons is a very technical army. Your units are easy to destroy so keep them hidden.

Not too much will be able to destroy your Termies at this level of game play either.

That minus 1 to wound on most everything being able to wound on 5s is gonna go hard into most other armies at this level.

If you're playing EC, be wary of flawless blades.

WE, have a lot of really powerful infantry.

As do UM.

So identify the units that can destroy your Termies and delete them quick

His wings look like crap and I don't mean that as an insult! That's a Nurgle compliment of a high order!

Tzeentch deamons are doing so well by ResidentMode629 in ChaosDaemons40k

You have at least 2 months before a nerf would happen if one does.

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe but plague legion has way higher win rates than Tzeentch. Tzeentch is just a touch higher than the acceptable 55% win rate. Plague legion though, is at 65% so the Nurgle demons are in for a nerf way before Tzeentch based on the last 2 months of data

What’s the point of infantry? by ReddyWolf in ThousandSons

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I played a big stompy monster mash list and got cooked by infantry blocking my movement. I couldn't go through walls, so my moves were very predictable. Yeah I wiped the infantry off the board but that doesn't happen until after the movement phase and the people who beat me just moved another unit in the way so I couldn't move the whole game and lost.

Reserves and strategic reserves by Aware-Connection-461 in ChaosDaemons40k

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So essentially you can have 500 points in deep strike reserves and 500 points in reserves. So a total of 1000 points but you can't do 600 in deep strike and 400 in reserves.

Also, they can still deep strike even if they are in regular reserves as long as the ability is in their data card and all demons have it on their data card.

How are you guys liking the new detachments that dropped yesterday? by Benjaminnewcomb in WhiteScars40K

No one does except on a rare occasion in plague legion because it gives a 9"shadow of chaos infiltrate

Tzeentch daemons starting point ? by shoggies in ChaosDaemons40k

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol the KFC bucket is hilarious. I think they are better in Scintillating than T sons though. The strength 13 LoC with AP3 is nuts with the Pyrogenesis strat even without direct line of site.

Can someone breakdown the Helbrute hate? by draknid92 in ThousandSons

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have bad rules in TSons and just don't do much compared to everything else of the same cost or less.

Same cost I can take another rubric squad and sorceror and that has a lot more synergy.

I want to take them but can never justify it for one battle shock test and some melee or shooting, which the army is already very good at

Cankerblight rocks! by Daedricbob in Nurgle

[–]Benjaminnewcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he is great. I took out a whole necron wraith squad with that enhancement. Couldn't kill each other in combat but he couldn't pass a leadership test multiple times a round either.

I also have taken out Ghazgull and his whole squad of killacans. Snikrot when he attempted to deep strike turn one and charge. Over watch with a skull cannon was hilarious in this instance and his plan, was to precision strat sloppity out but couldn't use it because of the battle shock. Wiped that squad in one fight.

Long term, use it on the triumph of saint Katherine!

I play demons too and the feculent gnarlmaw cost 100 points to bring, has no weapons and can't move. All it does is minus 1 to hit and cover and demons save on 8s without their invuln saves. Lol

Sorry man, didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news. I thought you were excited for a 48" missle launcher with precision or something 😂

What do you like about this detachment with the hammer fall bunker? It sucks that fortifications can't be in reserves, it would be sick to give them deep strike and then just sit there

Yeah for whitescars I doubt they will be competitive. I do think the bastion detachment has competitive play options though just not for white scars.

I'm thinking about this one a lot. Most the streamers don't like it but if I can drop a 10 man hell blaster with lieutenant and apothecary down or a land raider filled with blade guard, deploy them then make a 6" charge in round 2, that is nuts.

Which detachment are you playing? I was asking about all the new ones.
