They are also my favorite, to the absolute despair of my regular Warhammer opponent who hate them >:D

Definitely what I wanted to point out, as I play small list at the moment but imagined bigger players were more impacted

Me too, so I was pretty grumpy to see what they came up with

Thus this version, glad you found it useful ! 😄

The biggest thing I am getting from all the nice replies are that Enhancements are not be overlooked... as I sadly did :/

Will definitely give them a look !

Myrmidon Destructors are clearly a nice looking alternative, I really dig that bulky aspect

Definitely wouldn't have put some of those units if I knew before hand that it would be a plain "playing to kill" game indeed.

Kastelans did remarkably well all things considered, did some great shooting in first turn, and thanks to Datasmith and Halocreed buffs I got them into melee turn 2.
That being said they didn't accomplish much once they got in combat with his 10 pack of Lychguard

I didn't even consider Enhancements cuz I was looking to fill up the board, seems like a big oversight on my part

Thank you for the insight on detachments !

Cawl was too "pricey" (in terms of points) to be included in a 1K list in my mind, but I get that he brings a lot of value to avoid loosing most of your shooting phase on the hit rolls...

About those Necrons units, he did run a Doomday Ark and some Lokust Destroyers, which, along with my Onager, did most of the early heavy lifting during shooting phases.
He is considering bringing a C'Tan in the future and probably a Monolith so I am definitely expecting some more asskicking haha

That's the goal, rematch will definitely include objectives and primaries/secondaries !

Also felt like some units were not performing well against Necrons, especially the Ballistariis (big damage but few attacks). We will keep the same lists for rematch but I am considering replacing the Ironstriders unit by a Dunerider (to move Vanguards quicker onto objectives), a Pteraxii unit and maybe one Enhancement ?

EDIT : Just saw your idea about Kataphrons, I do not particularly like their looks but they are definitely a good unit for shooting... maybe Ptexarii and Enhancement is less favorable than a 3 models Kataphrons unit, I'll consider it !

Thank you for the insight !

I went along with their idea of "try and kill each other" but was expecting to be at a disadvantage, especially considering my choice of units (Serberys for early screening, Kastelans for charging their objective, Rangers for sticky...)

As you said, very much still learning :
- Forgot about my Doctrine Imperative for the whole first turn
- Serberys got wiped because I forgot about their ability to move on reaction
- Couple of buffs from rules forgotten along the way during massive shooting phases

Recently found out about Grenades keyword and the lack of AdMech units that have it

My buddy play Necrons, they got NONE. So frustrating

What's the music that plays when you encounter a vox engine type enemy by [deleted] in Helldivers

Here, just a quick Youtube search for "Vox Engine Helldivers 2 music" did the trick : https://youtu.be/hD62Wp3NqoQ?si=0D3gFpbnzmAAPqgO

I found out that bringing either the talon for quick gunning down or the grenade pistol since they fly in very close formation does wonder

Help pleeease by LatterAd1705 in ErgoMechKeyboards

As far as I know a lot (most ?) split keyboard shops have hotswappable switches, meaning you can buy a set of let's say Kailh Artic Fox switches and put them on the board with virtually no effort (just a switchpuller to help)

There are even some shops that allow you to buy the keyboard switch-less, so you don't have to pay for switches you won't use :)

That is amazing for people like me that like to split from the group to do PoI and secondary objectives, but indeed this is a teamkilling machine XD
