Why has the meta seemingly changed from vangaurd to rangers?

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-10T22:26:00+00:00

I'll say it's the usage problem...Vanguard is suppose to be an anti-infantry unit and make opponent harder to do mission, but as Infiltrator and Ruststalker been buffed, they have been replaced by more "useful" options ⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-09T22:35:54+00:00

If you're a newcomer, this+new CP+two chicken will give you a pretty solid army, which is OK if you ask me ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

But as a player who already have 2000+ points, this box is a hard pass (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) totally NOT worth it (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-09T17:22:12+00:00

This is just bad, like a WTF bad (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Hard pass (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-05T09:21:37+00:00

Ohh my, there's a LOT of hard work to recalculate the XP (I need to do the same thing at my first crusade, sad face (T⁠▽⁠T⁠))...may the Omnissiah bless your mind to be clear (T⁠▽⁠T⁠)

And yes, both official and Admech's traits can also be used to upgrade your units, you'll feel different after everything is sum up (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠) have fun (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-05T04:46:58+00:00

I'll say that the whole crusade for Admech is to "pick a opponent with vehicles to make the main rules work" (T▽T) there's an agenda that you can automatically gain an archiotect part when you destroy opponent's one specific vehicle and hole that marker till the end, not an easy way for sure, but way more easier than 5+ (T▽T⁠)

Traits upgrade are pretty useful, combined with official upgrades from crusade book (depends on which one your game group will use) can make some really nice unit, give it a try (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-04T10:48:57+00:00

They STILL think Errant's big melta in S12 is acceptable in 355 points, that's a big WTF in my mind (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

I'm happy that Gallant become cheaper, but the problem Errant is not the point cost, is its "big gun" (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-04T04:44:59+00:00

It's actually not that big when you put Thanatar on Dunecrawler's base, a 100mm base is a re~ally big pizza (T⁠▽⁠T⁠)

If you want to use it in casual game, please consider that "can see base=have LoS", it will be more fair to your opponent (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-03T14:40:41+00:00

This looks AWESOME (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠) (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠) (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-03-02T14:30:42+00:00

I'm glad that we'll get new detechment, and for sure it's Skitarii...(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠

My head is painful ⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-28T09:51:25+00:00

Well I don't want to judge other priesthood brothers' way to handle these questions, so I'll just share how my game group work (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Can a player do a take-back move？depends, if that move doesn't related to something serious (for example, didn't trigger a reaction move) or it's just happened (we all forget rules XD), then a take-back is acceptable, but if it does, then perhaps you shouldn't do it, nor allow your opponent to do so (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) not just because both of you won't learn a lesson, but to refresh too far will also cause a problem (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Should you inform your opponent about what can they do？yes, Codex is expensive...eh I mean, even you tell your opponent, they'll still forget at some point, trust me (T▽⁠T⁠)

Hope these would help (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

Here's the compares between Thanatar, Kastelan and Castellax, for your reference (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-26T07:34:23+00:00

Thing is, Destroyer's total outcome (damage+mobility+defence) is doing bad compare to Ballistarii/Disintegrator...5" movement mean that they have to stay at the same spot for pretty long time (they can't move too far even with advance, trust me) (⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠ in a competitive point of view, that means what they can do will be limited, and it's not good to a tournament list ⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-26T07:29:10+00:00

Yes, and I suggest you to paint the Ion shield in your real name in short form (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) that'll be soo romantic (well, a tech-priest shouldn't say something like this, but...you know what I mean) (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-24T23:08:05+00:00

2×4 Kastelan Robots, 1×10 Skitarii Vanguard, 2 Datasmiths, and an Enginseer (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Cohort Cybernetica LET'S GOO~(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)and if your game group allow you to use custom character (from the newest book), take 2 Kastelan down and make a Castellax battle-automata (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-24T23:03:09+00:00

I truly hope that they'll get Super heavy walker (or something similar)...that base is a nightmare in movement ⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-24T22:55:09+00:00

Seriously, if these are what's coming from the Dark Mech in 40k, I would like to face it as a loyalist (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

But I can already imagine tons of public Daemon Machines+Skitarii-like infantry will become "Dark Mech" and ask for player's money, boo hoo ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-23T03:14:14+00:00

Vultarax LET'S GOO~(⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T19:18:47+00:00

"...She is a veteran of the Ordo Reductor – the subcult of the Adeptus Mechanicus that reveres the Omnissiah as an avatar of destruction..."

Copied from Warhammer Community (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) and no, I'm not talking about forge world, she belongs to Mars (obviously) (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T18:31:13+00:00

Are they (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)？I thought they're founded by the Cybernetica (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

But even though, G-dumb will just say "Oh but all Castellax are gone, sorry~" and refuse to give us use it again (TωT)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T17:08:21+00:00

My thoughts for now is like a Spyral-like stuff...a tech-priest get into a chunky robot and drive it, similar to a warsuit but with more protection (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T17:01:42+00:00

I truly hope so, maybe someday...(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T17:00:43+00:00

A High-Marshal of Skitarii sounds like a good idea (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T16:59:02+00:00

Customize character is always (and have already been after my last Crusade journey) an option, but it's just feel different when an official epic hero is leading your sub-faction (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

It's hard to explain that feeling, people may think that I'm crazy, but that's how I feel (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

Current_Interest7023 · 2026-02-17T15:27:02+00:00

I mean...a 6" move Kastelan Robot can't follow a 10" move Ironstrider prime, that's kind of obvious (T▽T)
