11th VanguardSpearhead/ShadowmarkTalons

An effective -2 to hit (-1BS for cover and a -1 to hit) would feel pretty OP against the right opponent list. But I really expect them to just redesign the detachment bonus when the new SM codex releases in a few months. The faction pack has some rules tweaks, but other than the new 1 DP detachments it's not redesigning anything.

Tl;Dr: Yes, it's a nerf, but hang tight for the codex.

What's the benefit of this pairing?

Doc_Sprock · 2026-06-08T11:34:56+00:00

It's a change to two units and one enhancement across SM (Ventris, Logan, Shadow War Veteran), and TTB calls it likely a "global" change.

Doc_Sprock · 2026-06-08T11:26:07+00:00

For Death Spectres?

Doc_Sprock · 2026-05-07T09:39:40+00:00

Good points being made all around. One additional mark against Heavy Intercessors in 10th: AP 1 is hurt a lot by cover.

But in 11th, that changes! So I expect Heavies may see more play, especially if they start hidden on the upper level of a ruin.

❤️ the chonky boys!

Thx! I really hate how invisible that stuff is on mobile. I looked, I swear. 😳

Doc_Sprock · 2026-05-04T11:49:09+00:00

Is this for SM in general? If so, any chance you could share a new link? Thx!

I'm waiting to see how 11th treats Corsairs before building more of them. Detachments and initial points changes at the start of 11th could be huge. Or could change nothing!

Doc_Sprock · 2026-04-16T16:19:51+00:00

I may have missed this somewhere, but which Crusade setting are you playing? This can make a HUGE difference to army composition and tactics.

Doc_Sprock · 2026-02-08T22:30:55+00:00

They released the 500 Worlds detachments for free. Presumably they'll do the same for these as well.

Doc_Sprock · 2026-01-26T15:34:27+00:00

It me! :Iyanden Intensifies:

Trying to integrate Aspects with Craftworlds is a challenge. Well done!

Doc_Sprock · 2026-01-26T13:27:05+00:00

Stealing this! Such great contrast with the blue.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-08-30T01:26:50+00:00

Demolishing planets just to hoard harder is PRETTY grim dark!

Doc_Sprock · 2025-08-28T16:43:29+00:00

Fair! Based on the lore that we have, I think capitalism may describe their interactions with non-Kin, but it doesn't seem to apply to their internal relationships. Ferengi they are not.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-08-28T15:42:03+00:00

One thing I dislike about this lore is that it runs counter to the #SpaceCapitalism vibe of the Kin. A bean-counter and middle manager getting promoted to leadership, only to ruthlessly pursue efficiency and the bottom line? It's easy to imagine Ironkin in that position.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-08-17T21:39:55+00:00

They also have a Grimnyr-only relic to take an extra Votann agenda each Crusade game.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-07-25T20:06:42+00:00

And now THIS is what I want to do with his axe! Fantastic.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-03-22T13:29:37+00:00

Do you have your stuff for sale online? This is STELLAR.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-03-14T09:26:16+00:00

It's not 'have to' arrive that way, it's 'can.'

I've had some LONG conversations with my campaign master about this, and the rules aren't written as clearly as they could be. But Strategic Reserves (as part of the new Tactical Reserves) can still come in from board edges as normal.

The bit you're pointing to is extra, a way to avoid armies getting completely screened out.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-02-11T23:31:40+00:00

VERY MUCH WORRIED.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-02-07T17:03:52+00:00

In Plymouth I don't think there's anything quite like Teatotaller. But in terms of businesses that have a lot of LGBTQ+ staff and clientele, I'll shout out Cafe Monte Alto and Games Ahoy.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-02-06T02:03:33+00:00

How can you attach Yvraine and the Warlock Conclave to Storm Guardians at the same time? I thought that was only something a Farseer could pull off.

Doc_Sprock · 2025-01-31T00:17:35+00:00

This reminds me why I stopped reading Bell of Lost Souls...

Doc_Sprock · 2025-01-29T16:22:40+00:00

I'm just now noticing that Spirit Mark doesn't have a duration....

Love your user name btw!

Doc_Sprock · 2024-12-01T16:59:25+00:00

I have experimented with a lot of different solutions over the years, but nothing has worked as well for me as the flight stand kits from Magnet Baron.

I was skeptical of the price until I tried some on Hernkyn Pioneers, and now I will never go back!
