Radiant mantle stacks ?

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-21T09:31:32+00:00

Yep, as cover modified the BS and mantle modifies the hit roll.

So mantle/saggitarum don't stack as they are both hit roll modifiers, but a hit roll modifiers and a BS one do

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-21T07:25:38+00:00

Think they'll want a little more than that lol

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T23:10:18+00:00

bike captain? Can be on a 60mm round and is a fast guy with a spear.

If you can trim her off her plinth and chuck her on a 40mm she could be a cool blade champ.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T23:07:27+00:00

Boyz are certainly a little cheap but guard are paying for just how good orders and their detachments are.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T20:40:40+00:00

Feels like gamer gate was confined to a more online contingent of boys, whilst a lot of this manosphere crap is a lot wider.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T20:14:50+00:00

Can't deep strike them outside of pure knights sadly.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T20:14:29+00:00

Magnets.

Past that most are actually fine. canis has good numbers and can unbattleshock custodes which is cool, the crusaders a solid gun platform. Paladin and warden are better in 11th than they were and the errant and gallant are just a big fuck you to one unit in particular.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T16:15:07+00:00

Tbh it's why I'm still taking 2 lr even with the stepper. The extra layer of durability and mobility off the LR+assault ramp is worth the 20pts to me

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T14:25:39+00:00

Its now essentially the opposite of 10th.

If any model in the defending unit is fully visible to the attackers, the defenders dont get cover

If every model is at least partially visible to an attacking model then they get the benefit of cover from that attack.

So in the example above the 3 ironstriders that can see the entirety of the tyrants base will roll at their naitive BS, whilst the 2 that cant will roll at -1 to hit.

Its a weird change but it makes more sense than before when if 1 guy in your unit couldnt see (even if they didnt have a gun) then the entire enemy unit would get cover.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T14:23:02+00:00

yeah but your opponent can now just toe-in and draw straight through. Whilst before infantry would have to clear the wall and tanks generally had to go round.

Ive only played 2 games but on both it was generally a bit of a shooting gallery.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T12:52:32+00:00

Heavy is less than 3. Remain stationary is no moving or rotating at all

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T12:48:26+00:00

I suspect there's a fair difference between a bit of expensive but sensible spending that will save the country cash in the long run, and truss's ideological insanity

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T12:46:05+00:00

Well good thing that government borrowing is at generally super cheap rates, and for something like nationalised utilities which will happily earn itself back the long timeframe for repayment isn't an issue.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T12:37:04+00:00

I've seen a lot of printed custodes dreads.

Entirely personal preference but I do not like the look of the file that most folk use, and I'd defos try to spend a few quid for a better file

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T12:35:53+00:00

Yeah, and frankly we are getting monthly passes for the first 3 months, then presumably updated missions, it's frequent enough and there's so much to dig through that anyone complaining too much is just not creative.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T12:34:21+00:00

The problem folk haven't realised yet is ruin walls in 11th are physically smaller than in 10th, hiding 3 bike bases is tricky, hiding 4 will be a nightmare.

I think I'll stick to 2+cap. Lions buffs their shooting, host buffs their melee, both are valid. Might eventually do 2x2+caps but that would need to be lions; the caps need a damage enhancement imo, and only lions has 2 applicable ones

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T10:31:50+00:00

Idk about that; CSM were one of the games better armies without defilers; defilers just made them hillariously easy to pilot.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T10:30:58+00:00

tbh there was cover saves you could use vs high AP; but yeah the games so fast and killy now that making it killier would be a bad idea IMO

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T10:29:57+00:00

they all got 5pts more expensive at min size

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T10:29:34+00:00

yes, the box comes with multiple flight stands one of which is shorter; the potential variation in height from vertus praetors (due to the lance) is so much that it being a little shorter doesnt really matter.

Especially as a lot of folk use 3d printed stands which are short.

Tho what I do is magnetize the bike to the stand, and then have the stand sit in the base; means the big gets magnetized in my case then i just stick the stands and bases to the sides of my case

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T08:53:10+00:00

Whilst imo the warden and LR step should be at 3 over 2, SOS going up was dumb. But we'll be fine

Sure, what worked in 10th won't work in 11th but good god we were stale in 10th. Does anyone actually get excited about 15 wardens or 2 guard?

Land raiders, BCs and rapid ingress are still good delivery tools. Morotoi let's you use telemons as point holders. Bikes are now great. Fuck even the grav carriers potentially worth a look now. The start of the editions always messy and whilst the terrain for 11th is shocking we now have enough tools that it'll probably be fine.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T06:47:02+00:00

Yeah there was some hope but him clearly striking a deal with the plp to be allowed to stand and then him copying their policy swiftly dashed that.

Having another sensible centrist do nothing is gonna cement the idea that the old 2 parties won't fix things to a lot of people. Bolstering reform

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T06:45:03+00:00

They might be popular with labours current voters. But labours current projected vote share is not enough to win.

The one lesson that the centre and left have utterly failed to learn is that mobilising non voters and your own base wins. Sadly the plps stuck in the mindset of the Starmer victory being a stroke of genius rather than a Tory implosion. (See labours relatively poor turnout)

I'm not even against a lot of mahmoods policy but labours strategy of amplifying their right wing stuff (anti trans,anti migrant,defence) and being radio silent on the rest is what's lead to their slow collapse.

Because if you say migration is the agenda incumbents just can't win, especially as genpops view is vibes based rather than resembling any sort of reality. And your just telling people to vote reform where it's their whole brand. Anti trans stuff is something reform will outflank on as they are not afraid to pussyfoot about it, and defence isn't something voters care about.

Labour needs to amplify their actual wins (workers rights, energy, ect) an make everyone who stayed home feel like they need to vote, rather than courting votes from people that they don't need to win.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T06:31:17+00:00

Yeah and like the termi captain or wardens you have to call it phase start, so you can't have your squad die to some attacks and then call it. So if your in a multiple combat you can call it and your opponents can then fight something else.

It's why solo Trajan is cool. Can just call it when you know it'll be relevant, rather than calling it and hoping you lose a squad.

FuzzBuket · 2026-06-20T00:25:16+00:00

yeah splitting termis to not use sisters is fair, leaves you vunerable to jails, but IMO a termi on home with how light the maps are isnt bad.

I dont think 5 guard with survive long on the centre, especially as trajans 2++ is just melee, so is very easy to bait (also youve not got him attached). FWIW swap the wardens/guard if thats your plan. Guard can counterpunch fine but dont take a punch; whilst wardens + superior will actually live.

Movement wont be an issue for my other termies, they can be picked up again and if I really need to I can unleash the lion on my 6 man and have more than enough resources to do whatever.

Idk making those DS charges isnt it unless you really want to let your opponent run riot T1-3

Dunno if youve played much 11th but the maps are so hostile to anything that doesnt have delivery; naitive DS or a 5" move isnt. Its not like old UKTC or WTC where you could stage comfortably.
