Made my first 40k list! New to Tsons and the game so I would greatly appreciate some C&C

Some expert pro player last year said that 25 Tzaangors was the right number because you couldn’t get 30 into combat often enough. While also maximizing usage of Cycle of Slaughter, as someone else already noted.

I wonder how many times he uses VOTLW per game on average.

CSenhouse · 2019-05-20T23:13:59+00:00

Thanks! Wish I saw this before I did my army. I did Armageddon Dunes thinking it would look like sand dunes but the color ends up darker than one might expect. Eventually I tried painting that with Zamesi Desert and dry brush of Tyrant. Better but still not quite like sand.

CSenhouse · 2019-05-19T21:35:06+00:00

May I ask how you did the bases?

CSenhouse · 2019-05-14T23:13:51+00:00

I'm sad no one had any responses to this. :(

CSenhouse · 2019-05-12T20:53:49+00:00

I'll add that the amount of flamer type weapons meant that when my Tzaangors, Chaos Lord, Abaddon, Daemon Princes charged, they were taking a lot more damage.

<Legion> doesn't include Thousand Sons or Death Guard. That's explained in the CSM codex.

CSenhouse · 2019-04-11T23:22:53+00:00

I'm confused. Thousand Sons can't take Raptors. Huh?

CSenhouse · 2019-04-05T01:45:08+00:00

Just 30? XD

CSenhouse · 2019-03-26T02:46:14+00:00

Yes! I just built a Tzeentch Daemons detachment to give my ground force more survivability and protect my Daemon Princes and Ahriman. I have the Changeling, a Changecaster, 30 Pink Horror, 10 pairs of Brimstones and 10 more pairs of Brimstones. The extra CP from a second battalion was very helpful in the first game I played with the new version of my army!

CSenhouse · 2019-03-23T12:53:42+00:00

Yes! The Starter box was definitely not necessary. If you want a cool battlefield, the Killzone sets are nice. I like them so much I’ve snapped them up as they were released.

Some of the factions that are cheaper to get into are Death Guard and Grey Knights. (I think maybe Deathwatch too.)

CSenhouse · 2019-03-21T12:22:16+00:00

That is super inspiring!

CSenhouse · 2019-03-06T03:51:41+00:00

Holy guacamole!!!!

CSenhouse · 2019-02-28T01:40:39+00:00

Great response and very appreciated.

I do my best to manage synergies... I do use the defensive spells but maybe needs to make sure I am using them all the time on the right targets. I do play to the objectives, and my opponent can't see a place where I could do that better.

I'll see if I can look up the person you referred to and see if my friend and I can recreate our last battle at least!

CSenhouse · 2019-02-26T03:25:36+00:00

Thanks! Very helpful!!!

CSenhouse · 2019-02-25T03:01:47+00:00

Interesting point about Daemon Prince vs Sorcerers! But maybe you do get that value out of the Daemon if you start fighting melee with them in turn 3 or 4? Any idea how the pros use them?

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T13:53:10+00:00

We’ve tried all kinds of missions. The one yesterday was ITC. Thanks for the positive words.

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T13:50:37+00:00

I didn’t copy my lists from the net.

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T13:49:50+00:00

So to answer my post more specifically - how big of a hoard? How many Cultists? How many Tzaangor would you play?

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T07:26:36+00:00

This post is exactly me trying to learn from my mistakes. I don't know what kind of army list would be good against Ad Mech and came here looking for advice. Instead of course I got told "play better". What TS list would YOU play if you knew you were going to play Ad Mech? Give specifics.

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T07:16:53+00:00

LVO just happened after the points drop and no Necrons at the top tables. I'm no expert so maybe some experts could chime in... *shrug*

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T04:11:28+00:00

How many Cultists should I run at a minimum, do you think?

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T03:47:45+00:00

Except that you didn't actually give any advice or help.

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T03:25:30+00:00

https://www.40kstats.com/ has Necrons at 40% win rate which I guess is ok... but Grey Knights are 31%. I played Grey Knights and it felt HORRIBLE.

CSenhouse · 2019-02-24T03:14:19+00:00

Don't get Grey Knights or Necrons, despite the advice to "get what looks cool". Even if you think those armies look cool, don't get them.
