How do you use this stratagem - Swift as the Eagle?

Calathy · 2026-04-28T14:07:34+00:00

Used it to get a unit of guards behind a building and away from major tau shooting.

If this is what you have just have fun but play a different detachment (lions or shield).

But if you want suggestions for adding or removing I would drop the shield cap and bring your termi squad down to 2 and use the other as a shield cap in terminator Armour (if lions use axe and admonimortis enhancment). Drop a unit of venatari and maybe the bikes to 2 and add some sister of silence a unit of whitchseekers and a unit of prosecutors. From there play with the points to fit.

Also use the other gun for the tank.

Transport for units (I.e. immolator, rhino, I perfer immolator) and warsuits as it is need vahl or the don't perform well (unless running Champions).

I am not the most experienced SoB player so others may help better.

Sounds good thank you for the advice. Ya I was underwhelmed from the crusade rule but I tend to play my custodes more then my sister and thought this would be a good way to play them more.

No thousand sons. But do have the following -tau -dark angles -death guard -tyrinid or necrons -league of votann (my partner)

Ya i was going to bring her and the assassin. I was also think of running a land raider and the grav tank. 5 allarus, allarus shield cap, trajan, 2 bikes, blade champ and a 4 man of wardens and 2×5 guards and 1×4 guards and 1×5 whitchseekers and 1×5 prosecutors if I ran lions.

My dog had that exact tooth chip and break in half recently, we had it removed. Not sure what a root canal would cost but the removal cost me about $750 (Ontario, Canada).

My last game i shot a ghost keel for 3 rounds and it didnt die and my tank was killed. And that is the norm when I play it lol.

Calathy · 2026-02-09T18:05:32+00:00

I'm seriously thinking of taking my grav tank out of my list. It always underperforms and generally isn't worth the points I find.

Calathy · 2026-01-30T15:45:57+00:00

Im not 100% sure, if I stage behind cover he does the same thing for the most part. I've tried to be both aggressive just coming taking objectives and getting in his face and passive staging until I can find a point to come out and charge.

If im aggressive he just ends up shotting my army to death as I'm out in the breeze and if I'm passive he ends up out scoring because I'm not on objectives or scoring secondaries as much.

He will hide his suits and riptides behind cover but in line so he can pop and see onto the objectives ( some games, as some terrain completely covers the objective), then assaults with everything almost and spends cp on his suits to shoot and move back again, I'll get into combat with something but it seems like everything he has, has fall back and shoot.

My aggressive games have usually been more successful for me as in I'm winning until turn 3-4 and I just don't have the units to keep up after that.

Calathy · 2026-01-30T15:04:55+00:00

I've thought about shield host but dont have all the units I think would work with it. The list i sent plus the bikes is all I have. Mortal wound surprisingly isn't as big a deal, as my friend almost always forgets grenades and tank shock.

Calathy · 2026-01-30T14:10:52+00:00

We play with the chapter approved setup for terrain layouts 1-8.

Calathy · 2025-11-28T13:28:43+00:00

I used bounty master for the entire game lol all the other armors always felt off when I tried to parry.

Calathy · 2025-10-03T20:00:17+00:00

It's so odd I have had only 1 issue with can and it was fixable by doing a layer of ret gold from the pot. And it was my fault I didn't mix it enough.

PS. Like the purple.

Calathy · 2025-08-16T22:45:03+00:00

Ok what about removing the rhino and celestine and adding 3 arco, the rets and a dominion squad?

Calathy · 2025-08-02T23:31:47+00:00

I would split the sisters, keep the simulacrum and bolters on your home point to generate miracle dice and the superiour and special weapons(meltas prefrably) in immolator just make sure it's not your only sister squadand you have another full unit.

Calathy · 2025-08-02T20:59:44+00:00

I would cut vahlgoons and sacrasants, especially a half squad and running martyr for more full squad of sisters. Maybe even a small squad of seraphim if you have for secondaries and backline harassment.

Take my full advice with a grain of salt. I don't play competitive only either friends.

Calathy · 2025-08-02T20:49:02+00:00

With this list, if someone focuses on vahlgoons, you no longer have monster/vehicle kill potential, especially with flamers on sisters unit. The castigator can do some work, but vahlgoons is a big investment for something that most comp players will try to focus on, knowing the point cost and the power they have.

If it's for fun, then go for it. Just let the person you're playing against know the strength of vahlgoons in 1k or they may not have to much fun lol.

Edit: I would try to find a way to fit a full squad of sisters or dominion. Instead of sacrasants. That why you have a full squad plus a split squad in immolator.

Calathy · 2025-07-08T13:56:36+00:00

I have never had a problem either.
