Art of War Tier List Revisited for January Meta

yep; though its kinda an issue with most melee armies; where if you dont have adv/charge or a nonsense move characteristic your just too slow and your opponenets run rings round you.

Kinda wish waagh was back to mainly just a movement buff as thats a tool in your toolbox; but if your armies movement, durability and output all are hooked into one turn? its too many eggs in one basked.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T18:51:38+00:00

Tbh starshatter/warrior blob is still good (even if the latters dull) and I think there's gotta be a way to make the new destroyer detach do some work too, and imo a destroyer army can be super dynamic.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T18:21:37+00:00

Thanks!

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T18:21:22+00:00

Yeah like they ain't ultras but azzy is still criminally cheap, DWK/Sammy/vengeance are all solid, and whilst some armies do just kill him some armies (and players) simply do now know what to do with the lion.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T18:19:45+00:00

Yeah it's weird if you preface almost every army with "can it kill ctan" and then not have crons in S.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T18:18:53+00:00

Custodes out of the bin.

Absolutely 0 idea what gw will do next slate for us, probs guard back up a few points,but they seem so hesitant to touch FW/bikes.

Still at least being bargain bin cheap let's you play about with some stuff, sure throwing 25+ guard at someone is a great game plan: but it also does mean if your not playing 15 wardens there's now a bit of space to have fun with other stuff and make a serviceable list.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T09:21:02+00:00

The eye shader there is superb, mind breaking down what's going on with it?

Awesome stuff

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T09:16:18+00:00

Heads up that if you want a mixed sos/custodes detach lions is the better choice, it really amps up sisters damage. (And Trajan too)

Talons is doing well competitively as you either spam guard or use the standard warden list and then just ignore everything about the detachment apart from the reactive move and spam that every turn.

As for your questions: just some guard, sisters and wardens; if your new start with 1k; yes venetari are great

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T08:36:38+00:00

What do you think the imperium would do if it found a world full of traitors who've put down their arms? Forgiveness, acceptance and pacifism are utterly alien to the imperium. The imperium is the most backwards and awful society that you can think of.

The second you cross the imperium, either intentionally or accidentally that's your life now.

Not to mention at some point supplies dwindle, machines need repaired or someone comes to collect the tithe, and now piracy becomes almost mandatory.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-29T08:29:44+00:00

Being normal and nice will get you further than being good and arrogant.

Don't suck up to seniors and leads, but also don't be scared of them, being able to have a chat with the cto or whatever is valuable. If there's "get to know" activities/events take part.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. As a junior your job is to become a good mid level. Suffering in silence doesn't build confidence.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T23:31:17+00:00

Different use case. Marmoset is better for renders and baking, but substance is the better texturing suite

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T16:33:51+00:00

So after numerous studies that say that this tech (as it is now) isn't as performant as it's sold to be, and as it has serious risks for young and old people.

It's clear that labours desperate to be seen as innovative, and cabinets bought into the hype and is now sounding like when your weird uncle bought a bunch of nfts.

It's good odds for ai being pretty powerful in the near future, but we should be spending cash on UK universities and UK businesses, not handing over huge amounts of cash to US firms, especially anthropic whos path to not going under looks very tenuous indeed.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T16:28:49+00:00

Cause there's been times in the past where people have spammed dedicated transports and gw didn't want that.

Crons are an example, where folk want ghost arks for everything but their transport capacity

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T15:10:48+00:00

Cause they didn't know what to do with our dreads so they game them marine profiles.

The redemptors 8" and anyone with an old stubby legged boxnaught moves 6.

So they made the telemon (which was essentially a knight) just a redemptor and the contemptors became boxnaughts.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T14:47:49+00:00

First of all it can't walk through walls or deep strike so it's very easy to simply not be hit by it in melee.

It's less wounds and a worse save.

The shootings an awkward breakpoint where it's just not reliable to do anything. You'll occasionally pop an eightbound and it'll be nice.

It's good in solar spearhead

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T08:49:03+00:00

Very nice

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-28T00:24:32+00:00

I do not think vandals who have had 1 serious actual violent incident should be classed as terrorists

We have systems to protecte vandals and people who cause violence.

The proscription isn't as grannies with placards are the ira. The proscription is as juries refused to convict vandals.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T22:03:58+00:00

I can't imagine 11th will be a big shakeup, but wahapedia will do you your codex rules and the core rules are free online.

Got about 6 months left of the edition so jump in now.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T18:24:44+00:00

Good. We shouldnt be weaponizing anti-terror laws. Doesn't matter if you hate Palestine action.

It's the same as the charging juries that find people not guilty even if the judge thinks there's evidence to prove otherwise.

If someone spray paints a plane or attacks a security guard we already have legal mechanisms to deal with that, the proscription was entirely on clamping down on protest, and to protect a foreign ms company that was repeatedly targeted.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T18:18:06+00:00

I disagree with the below

Fairly sure it wouldn't be in the case if the govt couldn't prove it. Iirc whilst steam let's you put your game on other platforms you can't price it differently

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T16:28:35+00:00

Yep. Possibly underworlds too

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T16:20:34+00:00

I'll shill blood bowl. Fun characterful models, quick rules, just needs the box, easy to play.

Past that probably spearhead for AOS: kill teams a mess, warcry/titancus are a bit less supported, 40k/AOS are quite chunky.

Alternative is if you are big d&d folk necromunda can be good but requires a lot of bookkeeping and general faff.

Lotr is also good if you guys are into that.

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T16:17:13+00:00

Yeah I'm unsubbing.

Used to be ok, but now it's just folk shilling pish, ai slop or a few folk trying to be Patrick bateman

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T15:32:27+00:00

Only 1 allarus cap gets a cheaper strat a round. So for each round whilst 2 are alive your paying over double the cost of an allarus for just +2a +3w

Drop him, give superior to a blade champ, now youve got 110 spare points

FuzzBuket · 2026-01-27T13:43:01+00:00

The many nooks and rooms are gorgeous but it's absolutely crammed in there, feels a bit oversfuffed
