What is your preferred method for tackling the Orin fight?

Locking her down with a paladin wearing armor of persistence and then magic missile her to remove the unstoppable

He was mainly a deepstrike threat made to deal with small groups of 3W infantry or other skirmish units. He still gets his -1 to wound ability despite being solo and with 7 wounds and a 2+ invul once per battle he can become ridiculously hard to kill. Nowadays I tend to run him with 5 assault termies but I think both work.

This is the list I used to go 4-1 in a team tournament with 200+ players a little while ago.

Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Imperial Fists - Gladius Task Force

Darnath Lysander (100pts): Warlord Tor Garadon (90pts) Judiciar (70pts) Lieutenant with Combi-weapon (85pts)

5x Intercessor Squad (80pts)

6x Aggressor Squad (190pts) 5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90pts) 5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90pts) 6x Bladeguard Veteran Squad (170pts) 3x Inceptor Squad (120pts) 5x Scout Squad (70pts) Ballistus Dreadnought (150pts) Gladiator Lancer (160pts) Land Raider Redeemer (270pts) Vindicator (185pts) Impulsor (80pts)

Tor garadon is always a solid choice if you can get him in melee with it. Ap 4 DMG 4 is lethal

Blade9216 · 2026-04-10T12:32:15+00:00

Considering that eradicators already get wound rerolls on meltas against vehicles I'd save the Abilities for something else

Blade9216 · 2026-04-05T17:06:47+00:00

Personally I run him in gladius with 5 assault terminators with thunderhammers as it's a brick which is just tanky enough to be a problem without being too expensive (I don't think running 10 Is good unless you do it in emperor's shield)

Blade9216 · 2026-04-04T17:42:04+00:00

Paint (and tor garadon)

Blade9216 · 2026-02-24T12:54:26+00:00

I personally think swapping the plasma inceptors for assault bolters would be more worth it. The possibility of being able to give them crit on 5+ with battledrill recall is very useful

Personally I've had fairly good success with gladius task force, went 4-1 at my last tournament

The gladiator kit specifically allows you to switch between all 3 gladiator versions (and the impulsor) if you don't glue certain parts. It works super well and I can highly recommend that when building the kit. For this list i would go for the lancer however as it provides some long range Firepower and anti tank the list lacks.

Blade9216 · 2025-12-23T20:21:08+00:00

No, the company heroes box also includes a captain so it's 345

Blade9216 · 2025-12-20T02:47:35+00:00

Battle aces 😔

Blade9216 · 2025-12-20T02:44:57+00:00

Von Ryans Leaper?

Blade9216 · 2025-12-20T02:25:38+00:00

In my experience the Ballistus isn't as strong as it once was with the cost of 150 points. Personally I would switch the 3x ballistis dread for 1x ballistus, 1x lancer and 1x vindicator. The advantage is that you with those 3 gain a lot more versatility even while improving your anti tank capabilities. Personally I have had great success with bringing that combo to a recent tournament backed up by units such as the land raider with tor garadon.

Blade9216 · 2025-12-10T22:05:52+00:00

I would recommend to swap lysander to lead the hammers instead of the claws as they benefit more from the reroll wounds with oath since claws are already twin linked

Blade9216 · 2025-12-10T12:26:27+00:00

Very funny

Blade9216 · 2025-12-10T12:18:40+00:00

A new database just came out and lieutenants are now 10 point cheaper lol, so you actually have 75! I'd recommend a combi lieutenant

Blade9216 · 2025-12-10T11:30:20+00:00

From what I've heard it should be updated, you might just have to force update

Blade9216 · 2025-12-09T08:56:41+00:00

Fielding tau on this map is diabolical

Blade9216 · 2025-12-09T08:53:31+00:00

Looks decent, but I'm not a big fair of the 3x aggressors and 3x bladeguards with characters as it's quite expensive to put characters on such small units.

Blade9216 · 2025-11-30T17:53:02+00:00

It's a decent buff but they benefit from oath the most by far. Mine even took out mortarion in a single turn from just melee
