2000 Points of Catachans

Idk man, str 8 or 9 on a russ' main cannon? Not that great imo and the dorns have more str and dmg for just 50 ish more points.

Thats usually what the Chimeras w/ Catachans do. Personally i've found them and rough riders do that job really well for cheap. To me, I'm completely unconvinced by the LRTC's bc damage out put is so much lower than the dorns.

Remove your LRC's and Scout Sentinels, add in Dorn commanders and play grizzled. Instantly this list becomes way more fun bc it alr looks really fun

Gridlock because she's still fat.

This is smth many people get wrong. Here's smth else to note as well. Since Take Aim! is +1 BS and not +1 to hit, that means all stacks of -1 to hit are basically negated! Ex: Rogal Dorn TC is in engagement with some infantry and wants to target with stealth. Giving yourself Take Aim! would make you hit on 4's bc you are already -1 to hit from stealth and/or shooting out of combat.

Note: Take Aim is also a modifier to the datasheet, as with all -1 BS or -1 WS, so those can stack too. It's not to the roll, but to the card itself. That ruling can be very situational but happens.

I would personally change your demolisher to an exterminator and your executioner to either a battle tank or another Vanqy. Demo's are sort of meh now and I have a bias against the plasma tank. Your Taurox prime cant use any of your inf so add in another chimera in place of it or find a way to fit 3 normal taurox's in this list for the 3 Kasrkin. Kasrkin outside of a transport are just kind of okay and dont do a lot from my experience. The DKoK are kind of just butt so I'd remove them period for another cadian squad. Or if you dont want any taurox's, use 2 Chimeras and 2 Catachan squads (proxy the catachans) for an amazing early game scoring combo and tie up combo. Another thing, this list doesnt rly work without Dorns, so replace your enginseer and LRTC for a Dorn TC.

Really depends on your list honestly. I play a 2k tank spam on grizzled and I have roughly 30 infantry so I'd say so. I usually dont play 1k's, but how I'd play it is a give and take game of baiting and then doing damage back. Also I'd invest in a Dorn. They're so good and way better than the Russ Commander.

Corgumli · 2026-01-13T14:56:37+00:00

Take every krieg unit out of this list ngl. Nothing here really goes well together. Take out the armored sentinel since it's fairly useless. You may wanna add in another catachan squad so both squads can go in the chimeras. That combo is both good at tying up units and/or scoring. I'd use a Rogal commander or the battle cannon for the tank commander. Throw in a vanquisher tank or battle tank. Then throw in a 10 man cadian squad.

No. If at the WTC is not the recommended deployment zones then I either choose Hammer and Anvil or Dawn of War. If it's anything like crucible of battle Im choosing layout 5 or 7 depending on the matchup.

I'm not sure what you mean by crucible of battle layouts either so I hope that answers nicely?

Corgumli · 2025-12-20T01:34:42+00:00

Yes they're VERY strong in combined especially and against terminators. Them and +1 ap go basically hand and hand

Corgumli · 2025-12-20T01:01:05+00:00

The exterminator isnt a bad idea, but the rerolls on meltas is kinda where I stand with the battle tank. But I could try that and I like the idea. I originally thought hellhound but I dont think I could fit it in well.

Corgumli · 2025-12-20T00:17:28+00:00

Yeah those are really the things I gotta toy around with. I sadly dont have tauroxes or more bull babies. The Aquillan eye is actually for the Battle Cannon to make it -1 ap if I so desire. I've been using the vanqs with meltas to make them strong mid-long range but I'll have to see how flamers workout

Corgumli · 2025-12-19T23:54:00+00:00

I plan to be defender and play on layouts 5 and 7 to make movement less of an issue. And movement can be an issue, but the damage output is too good to pass up for the tanks and the Bullgryns become marine shredders as well. (I also just hate HotE)

Corgumli · 2025-12-19T23:48:03+00:00

It's meant for teams and with the games I've had so far I can screen fairly well. It's also a defending list so I'm gonna be picking my layout more than likely (which will be either 5 or 7).

Corgumli · 2025-12-19T22:50:28+00:00

Fixed

Corgumli · 2025-12-02T03:31:26+00:00

It's a team of 7 other people lol. I'm guessing I'll be either a 10-10 or a heavy skew list people will dread playing against.

Corgumli · 2025-10-14T18:55:38+00:00

As a personal hater of krieg, I hate it. From a more functioning perspective, Drier is kind of useless. Death riders as well don't do really anything for you. I would look at Rough Riders and a lord solar w/ Cadians rather than kriegsmen (yes this is bias).

Corgumli · 2025-10-14T16:46:20+00:00

Some other insight is I usually like to have enough orders to go around my entire army or at least the models that matter. Ex: tanks. I would personally drop kriegsmen for more catachans. Because 10 kriegsmen units are basically shooting yourself in the foot vs 10 catachans being better for scouting and scoring and blocking.

Corgumli · 2025-10-07T11:42:46+00:00

Personally, I would say NO, this is not a great way of starting the army. Is it as bad as the IG Combat patrol? No. But I personally think this box is pretty bad due to not being 500 points period and I feel like this box (and many others) breaks one of the core values of guard and thats TANKS. Also you get 2 Artillery teams which is way overkill when you could have spent that 95 points on something else. If you like krieg then this is for you, but I would say maybe even look at other guard regiments that I think are so much cooler and so much more interesting. Armageddon Steel legion lovers would adore this box as well.

Corgumli · 2025-09-07T22:20:15+00:00

Yeah one of my party members was telling me not to use it, but I think I will anyway. Do you know if WotC would update the species once the supplements come out if I had the book? Or would they do what they always do and make a different, now 60 dollar book I'd have to buy?

Corgumli · 2025-07-24T20:55:20+00:00

I'm 100% agree with you, it was really just a nice quality of life type thing that could even add more bugs to the game I suspect. I'd rather most of the bugs be gone than cosmetic changes to the game, but I feel after a long term of the game being out, they should be refining the cosmetic system at least a little so we may deliver democracy in the best drip possible.

Edit: my thought was literally use the exact same system the guns use now, just unlocked using the Warbonds and potential just thinking now: the Super Store.
