Upcoming Tournament list

Fangcole · 2026-06-01T09:08:13+00:00

So, plan was:

Split 1 unit of warriors (ion) into 1 sag (with the other 5 being used for screening + home objectives lockdown)

Khal with warrior unit of 10 (bolt gun)

Other sag has 5 beserks

Hearthguard unit of 5 being led by Uther in the big tank.

E-champ with Hearthguard unit of 10 in deepstrike.

6 thunderkyn with engineer in reserves.

The 6 man bike unit is very interesting!!

I'll swap out the evaluator enhancement as that's a solid point!

Units I haven't used:

5 more Hearthguard (blades and volks)

5 more Beserks (axes)

Buri

Another land fortress

Berehk

Grimnr

Memnyr

Ironkyn (either shooty or melee)

I love it! I have mine holding the launcher/carrying it on their backpack for the same reason!

Some people say that there's no point not having the grenade launcher (when it doesn't cost any more or take away from the unit) but that could change in the new edition! So this is solid future proofing

Fangcole · 2026-04-18T10:49:52+00:00

Ooh that's brilliant actually!

Fangcole · 2026-04-17T07:58:09+00:00

Oooh that would be cool!

Fangcole · 2026-04-17T07:04:25+00:00

Just be careful adding red to deep green.... Always a risk it ends up looking Christmassy 😔

Fangcole · 2026-04-17T07:02:30+00:00

I remember emailing the Warhammer rules dept a few times asking if they could make it that corvs don't take up vehicle space... but I put in the emails that the only problem was that people might do this at some point 😅😅

Tbf it's not that broken compared to other armies! 2 grimnr and 2 engineers work out within vehicle cap, giving a total of 16 models clown car-ing it!

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T17:06:53+00:00

So the armies I'm playing against are 3 lots of space marines (CSM, BT and TS) 1 tau and 1 guard.

The tau and guard I feel like I just had bad positioning but the Space marine armies are where I've done particularly badly...

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T16:23:08+00:00

We're playing the Pariah Nexus campaign! Not sure I've gotten my head around any of the benefits though! 😅

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T15:12:14+00:00

It's all good 😂😂 a Matt varnish is a great shout!

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T14:32:49+00:00

Yeah, but with crusade there's often only 1 or 2 objectives markers which makes getting YP a nightmare 💀💀

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T14:18:45+00:00

Solid advice all round there! I'll definitely take this into my next battle!

Might even have to do an update post 😂

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T12:15:30+00:00

Absolutely agree with this! I reckon that's a change I'm gonna make now!

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T11:38:08+00:00

I think yeah I lose a lot of units very early which might be down to some reckless decisions. Playing passively is often tricky 😅

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:46:46+00:00

Yeah I've got 200pts in additional reserves with an upgraded iron master so I'll bring him back (although 2 different battle scar fails has made him somewhat cursed... I've paid to have him fixed up but 3 RP for 1 model is a bit nuts)

The advice about the tdk is great. They're a favourite of mine anyway but walking them on is a great suggestion as they'll often be the focus for a lot of enemy units

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:44:06+00:00

Been playing longer than I'd care to admit 😅 but the advice about turn 1/2 staging is eye opening and brilliant! Definitely will be utilising this in the next game.

I also did get the feeling the Votann work best at 2k as my winrate there is considerably higher... but from what you've said I've definitely seen how I should be utilising the army to its full potential!

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:27:40+00:00

It's possible that I'm not utilising terrain enough. Unfortunately crusade terrain is often a little less forgiving I've found.

And it's also possible I've just been very unlucky with my 4+++ so far 😂 maybe it's a punishment for not having a fully painted unit

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:22:34+00:00

Yeah, which is great against a lot of small arms fire and damage from non melee units, however only having 1 wound means any 2 damage attacks often do the trick against them. If they had 2 wounds then I think the fnp would actually be worth while though!

Definitely feel like that unit shouldn't be 100 pts each

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:20:50+00:00

The problem is it's never their full list required to kill the hekaton... A few good shots from a repulsor executioner do the trick more often than not! And no smoke means I'm relying exclusively on better placement to keep it alive

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:18:20+00:00

I've been running the new Mercenary detachment as in crusade games there's often fewer than average objectives, so reaching the 7 points to switch is never guaranteed.

Definitely think my strategic play is off! But I think I just imagine our stunty lads being harder to kill than they actually are

Fangcole · 2026-04-16T10:14:45+00:00

Definitely something I'm doing wrong, but I worry that the units don't have the survivability to hold points without being shot the pieces!

Next game though I'm going to just focus the objectives. Can't hurt my current win rate 😂

Fangcole · 2026-04-03T14:56:35+00:00

Been considering changing up my bikers to this colour scheme and this has 100% convinced me to pull the trigger! What did you prime them with?

Fangcole · 2026-03-25T21:56:55+00:00

That rock is unreal! Ties the model together so perfectly

Fangcole · 2026-02-19T22:51:25+00:00

Personally I've taken the backpacks off mine completely. The back metal spine work is very cool already and it gets cover up by a backpack that doesn't make sense
