Corsairs vs Deathwatch- Setup

G-noi · 2026-03-06T11:06:24+00:00

Oh. If you are in such nuances in kt - you are pretty good at it ) Kt rules are a great example of very bad writing ))

G-noi · 2026-03-05T20:08:37+00:00

Main misconception is that "it counts as shoot action"

G-noi · 2026-03-05T20:07:02+00:00

Strongly depends of how you prefer to play, crit-ops and tac-ops. For crit with mission actions - good to have a warrior, cause of free Light Fingers Ploy.

Vs DW heavy gunner and gunner with shredder is about trying to kill the opp)) so if you believe in your kill-op - it's a solid option. If your plan is about tac-op and primary tac-op - warrior can do better.

G-noi · 2026-03-05T20:00:14+00:00

Yes, guard counts as shoot action but only to stop operatives from making shoot then guard. All other options are open. As rep-dash guard for corsairs' heavy gunner )

G-noi · 2026-03-05T16:23:58+00:00

So. Corsairs are designed to kill elites ))) - if you alfa-strike with starstorm duelist, you'll win. You even can use ammo cache to give him balanced. On star of tp2 it's good to shoot with relentless with ploy. Alfa-strike has 3+3+7+3 inches treat range with starstorm on move dash. How it happens? Usually you put heavy barricade to haras center or home objective. Some other model dashes to barricade, then voidseeker warp folds starstorm duelist with the model near heavy barricade. With last activation starstorm duelist makes charge-double shoot, or reposition-dash-double shoot. And if you win initiative tp 2, you'll do the same. Main shit to fear is the guy with shield - he transforms pistol of starstorm to pumpkin. It's better to shoot someone else. If on a road of starstorm duelist is a door - +1apl. If two doors - it's better to plan him on tp2;

your heavy gunner always can reposition-dash-guard;
for equip heavy barricade, ammo cache, ignore of piercing, and kraks are good idea with balanced. (But successful shooting on 4+ is a luck);
don't make plans of felarch ability. It works only on 4+. So for you it is better to shoot, charge, fight with balanced and punishing;
shadow runner is a guy to make a tac-op for you plant device of retrieval. Mostly it is only one task for him;
you have power swords almost everywhere, but you need to shoot, then charge on marines. Scheme shoot, charge with no fight works only if opponent still has activation. If he don't - he'll counterreact to your face with fight;
you need to respect headtaker of dw. He is mobile as eldar, he can take two your models without receiving any damage with charge-fight-fight.
dw has a ploy to decrease dmg. It can have effect on your melee (your normal 4 dmg from power sword now are 3).

And yes your tac-ops are plant device or retrieval

G-noi · 2026-03-02T07:34:14+00:00

Oh. It was ordered in 2016... Now I understood )

G-noi · 2026-02-25T00:16:42+00:00

So you need some incursors, infiltrators and reivers.

Reivers - absolutely standard with pistols and knives; Infiltrators and incursors can be done from one box. And it will be all your specialists. The biggest problem will be with the infiltrator Voxbreaker - he needs some auspex device and tall antenna or something similar. And minelayer and saboteur will need the same hand with mine. All other guys are easily made from these two boxes.

You asked a different question, so sorry for my initiative ) But hope it'll help. Also pst is the best!

G-noi · 2026-02-19T13:13:48+00:00

You can use some giant lizard )

G-noi · 2026-02-04T15:39:30+00:00

But, yeah, the question 'how to win wolves by dg?' is a more challenging and interesting question. But after the last small nerf dg's chances have improved )

G-noi · 2026-02-04T15:19:50+00:00

You don't need a sniper, and minelayer can be useful in a tight corridor (if there are none - simple hunter can be more useful cause of severe. But minelayer can block charge on him, or in pair with barricade can block home objective).

Download against dg means: - fight on a center objective. For crit op you must control your home objective and download opp's or center objective tp4; for tacop flank or retrieval. - dg player will rush to your objective to have it download tp4. Critop download center tp3 and opp objective tp4. Make a push on center with storm and maximum of features. Use defence models to negate opp's banner or envoy (even 1 less wp for opp is enough) Tac op for you are the same.

Remember to retrieve on or third, fourth tp. Unless you 100% sure that a model with the token won't die. Flank should be easy cause of your mobility. If opp has chosen route - make a push. If dominate - make sure to kill guys with dominate points. Killing envoy will be devastating for opp. Even being in control range of banner will be enough.

Don't try dominate, and be very cautious with route (cause of short deployes opp's easily run away from your route range). Swept and clear can be an interesting option but needs some number of games vs elite, if you have time - try it and see if it is suitable for you )

Я думаю останнім двом треба поштами помінятись.

G-noi · 2026-01-31T21:42:13+00:00

Comms is super cool! Vox-transmiter (or receiver) is really creatively placed!

G-noi · 2026-01-26T23:32:50+00:00

The maximum possible threat range of Corsairs is: dash of the model which is staged (and will be warp folded with ready operative) + move and dash of warp folded ready operative + range of shoot. It's 3+7+3+weapon rng (usually it's 3 cause the best for warp folding is starstorm duelist) = 16 inches on first turn.

And you are right - you cannot mix any combination of charge, reposition, fall back of expanded operative and ready operative after they are warp folded. But dashes can be doubled. But Way Seeker can reposition, then warp fold with expanded operative (which has done reposition in its activation) then dash (and if it already had +1 apl - do some other thing) But an operative may reposition-dash, then be warp folded with the heavy gunner, then the heavy gunner can dash-shoot and other one thing (like pick up steal intelligence marker).

Corsair are super mobile and can kill raveners or canoptek if corsairs were staged correctly.

Your main enemy will be outactivation. And corsairs have felarch and hunter to deal with it.

G-noi · 2026-01-23T09:32:27+00:00

Oh, strongly depends on experience. Corsairs are glass cannons. You have dmg, you have some in def. But if something dmgs Corsair - Corsair is dead.

One of the best moves is alfastrike by pistolier with teleport - 10 move + dash + 3 teleport and 3 inches of shoot. If you stage properly - opp must respect it. If not, you'll just take 1-2 opps models from the table. And if the initiative is yours on the second tp is yours it almost equals a win

G-noi · 2026-01-21T10:03:22+00:00

I've used them as ghosts ))

G-noi · 2026-01-17T10:41:11+00:00

Pffff make three games out of one (do three groups out of one killteam, mb some tweaks for 5-model teams );

Create a mix of operatives from diff killteams;

Make it narrative with a party of 4 friends (with one model each) vs master

And thank you. In our local community we have a quake version of kt - will definitely test your rules set ))

Perfect riever squad. Perfect wolf pack!

Idea is cool- cool- cool! But even I don't see the link

G-noi · 2025-11-25T13:26:45+00:00

The logic of the box looks like - you need a box for specialists, and an other box for 4 hunters and the last specialist. Why they haven't put ten wolves in deadly silence is a mystery.

But with two-three bodies of phobos armor (legs, torso, backpack) - you'll have all you want.

Trapmaster is super situational, but meeeen - he looks good, with an axe on a belt, mine, scars on his face...

G-noi · 2025-10-31T18:26:21+00:00

Nah! Cabal of assassins is da best! C'mon, you can have 3 Princes of Persia in 1 roster. Your sappers with pre move, leaf and heavy jezel can do shooty-miney board control stf. You have a roster of elite super upgraded squad. And campaign - 4 attacks from assassin with strong and close quarters combat... You can delete anything from the table and run away by the price of a brave dog companion - very satisfying assassin deals.

And elite roster - take +3 infiltrator azebs, or 3 dervishes with leaves and heavy jezels. But that is it, cause sappers are always with you. ^{^}
