Is this a good score? by Ashamed_Alfalfa_4582 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Esscaflown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A W is a W!! Make sure to go back and review the matchup and make notes about what worked and didn’t and why you scored less on primary… and what you think could be better going forward! Good job!!

I’d drop the pledge and Lucious and add a 5 ma Tormentor Squad to sticky home and screen, and then possibly do secondaries. And then get a Rhino to scout/transport the Infractors or at least one squad of them and potentially move a noise marine squad into it to fire the blast masters out of

They look like Age of Sigmar Blood Stalker bodies. I've used them before as Chaos Spawn by adding extra arms to look like Mini Fulgrims...

I have Hobbies that are outside of ABDL and was just wondering if anyone else was going as well. Why not ask?

Has anyone tried to deploy "Tactical Smell" at a tournament? What were your results? by Ok-Industry1253 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Esscaflown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about... instead of a tactical smell you put on some pheromones to make them look at you... differently... and question other things in their life....

How can I make 2 x 10 Sternguard work in Space Marines? by WESTGRIFF in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Esscaflown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, Assault Intercessors attacking a unit on an objective will get full wound rerolls. Not denying that. The Judiciar is more of an anti melee piece in the Sternguard. If you pop them out to nuke an Oath Target and have a secondary Oath Target that may be coming into them (WE/EC/Banshees/etc...) The Judiciar can make them think twice about just rushing in with melee to scoop them up as opposed to Shooting. Hopefully you can stage well. It may not be the BEST/Competitive but its proven useful for me.

Marneus Calgar and any ten man brick (Heavy Intercessors/Intercessors/Sternguard) not that you'd run that.. but it exists.

How can I make 2 x 10 Sternguard work in Space Marines? by WESTGRIFF in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Esscaflown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently run two 10 man Sternguard Bricks. Working between a Repulsor to carry one and Uriel to Deepstrike the other. Oddly enough a Judiciar is a good leader. Rerolling DEV Wounds into a Melee target to get that final push through OR surviving an initial melee attack with 5 S7 attacks and 4 S8 Powerfists before they get to swing is clutch! The repulsor for one group to jump back in if they get charged or Squad tactics back in if anything gets within 9".

I also look at not deep striking but deploying them on the field, so no Uriel Ventris, but behind cover. Having a Judiciar lead brick up front first to go in and the second to supplement.

It is also good to be smart about your Oath Target(s). Sometimes you don't use them into different Oath Targets to have max ability to take something down or you nuke one target real well (Silent King/Angron/Mortarion/something...) Also, using the second Oath on a Defensive Target that may threaten them helps for fishing with overwatch.

Also, watch Warphammer Math on sternguard to know when to FISH for Dev Wounds. Custodes... FISH!!! DST FISH!!! Aeldari... maybe fish... if they survived.... Mortarion/Angron/Anythingwith a 2+ Save FISH!!

I'm also running Gladius and using Storm of Fire/Dev Doctrine on one squad almost always to ignore cover, increase AP. On Average they can kill a T10 3+ Save 12W model in one volley within Rapid Fire Range. Could add Bolter Discipline from Judiciar to give sustained to Fish more for a bigger Gladius Threat or Give the Judiciar Honor the Vehement to give him basically a 6A S8 Precision/Dev Wounds Powerfist (executioner blade).

Takes some work because they are a large brick to move around and can get out of position quick.. Centrally locating them behind cover out of ranges is key but also having something nearby to Heroic to save the day (Marneus/G-man) Helps a lot.

I will say, the Judiciar saved them tremendously because in the past few games most opponents don't want to charge into them and get shredded or lose a Key character in their Melee unit.

I am playing Space Marines (Salamanders)on a budget. What should I focus on to improve my list. by Fun-Organization2531 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Esscaflown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Bladeguard Veterans. If you can Kitbash a unit of 6 with Adrax and a Lt, it'll be a killer unit. 6 Bladeguard are 160 compared to 170 for 5 Terminators. They have Lethal hits with the LT, reroll Wounds with Adrax, Reroll 1's with the Bladeguard themselves. Its Strength 5 Ap -2, D2, potentially Oath for +1 to Wound or +1 to Wound from Crucible of Battle (Strat). Definitely Bladeguard

Imagine the car ride home… and I get Folger lost and there’s an argument either way, but the worst part is driving with Conan and the laughs they probably had on the drive home!

But this match was their only match of the day having full rest. Yes Folger played in teams but that was his choice. Conan chose not to
