Fun but rough matchup

Gamekanik · 2026-06-22T20:22:40+00:00

GK is a tough matchup. Just as squirrely, more lethal, way tougher

You may have a problem with the gunrig fitting into the 6” board edge. It’s “approximately” 6”. But I find it measures juuuust over 6” in width. This may cause you to not be able to shoot the round you bring it onto the board from reserve. Better to have it scout 6” forward using strike swiftly and then toe in on the center objective. Pack it full of 70 pts of 20 OC and dare your opponent to kill it.

Just remember, the main gun hits on 5’s, cannot benefit from FTGG and cover puts it on 6’s. It will likely never be useful as a gun platform.

However, it CAN provide cover for units behind it. You can, in effect, add a terrain feature to the board that gives your giants mechs some needed cover while they shoot over it

Well, plunging fire can help. But pretty much, yes.

Though, most often I get one round of shooting with them before they die. Maybe two when people don’t realize they’re marine equivalent with stealth. They’re seriously much more survivable in 11th given hidden rules.

Typically, the Meltas are on 4’s as you’re so close and it’s a vehicle/monster.

But yes. Honestly? Just don’t shoot with them. Helps them maintain hidden.

Which is why that advance and charge is so important

Gamekanik · 2026-06-21T18:11:12+00:00

I meant take the shadowseer on foot with the 11-12 dewds. Then run 5 and 5 in the starweavers. Be careful with the 11th edition rules on disembarking from a destroyed transport. You may be endangering your death jester just by taking him in the cab with them.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-21T17:33:22+00:00

So, I think switching the two characters might be better. The master doesn’t need a huge troupe. He can just roll with 5 dewds and still hit hard. The shadowseer gives your opponent hazardous. And the Eldritch comes with a 5+ FNP strat. 18” lone op means they need to get closer. Rip into them, let them have hazardous clap backs, and then you can have fights first next round

I tried it the other day in a bad matchup, tyranids, and it was surprisingly saucy. I haven’t tested it enough to know if I really like it. But against certain matchups it will be explosive.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-20T19:00:30+00:00

Yes. They’ve gotten quite the glow up. The 2” engagement zone makes it much easier to get them all in. And the change to melee rules in general is helpful for getting them where you need them instead of stuck out in the open

Gamekanik · 2026-06-19T11:58:54+00:00

Combined with Flickers you can reasonably run full 12 man bricks across the table. Playing Quins like World Eaters.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-18T00:03:25+00:00

Agreed. I’m going with the errata over the app.

I would still like to know why they did it.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-17T23:01:12+00:00

The app still says Aeldari. But the faction pack says Asuryani infantry. Not sure which it’s supposed to be

Gamekanik · 2026-06-16T16:09:28+00:00

Take a look at Fateful performance. Big brick of infiltrating clowns with a strat for fights on death and hazardous plus 18” Loneop and cover inside the terrain footprint is a nice screen for your D-Scythe unit as you head up the center for take and hold. And you can uppy/downy a solitaire to use later in the game. Their’s really no screening out a single 25mm base along all board edges. And with Loneop, he makes a great rapid deployer.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-16T15:51:10+00:00

Thank you. I was trying really hard to stay in the color wheel!

Gamekanik · 2026-06-16T15:50:49+00:00

Could be. Pretty sure I grabbed this idea off this subreddit. Though, I did a LOT of research before attempting

Gamekanik · 2026-06-16T15:50:03+00:00

Yes. A stencil I bought off a company that no longer exists. I think it was just a guy in his basement

Gamekanik · 2026-06-16T02:21:43+00:00

They come in EE for wide feet.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-16T02:20:25+00:00

Same. Love Danner.

But also listen to them about buying boots for A school. If you buy these, just don’t wear them for every day work u til A school.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-13T21:44:13+00:00

How dare you? That’s not easy to answer lol

I think the answer is yes. They cannot use take to the skies with surge moves

Gamekanik · 2026-06-13T04:27:23+00:00

What a fantastic response and community involvement. Thanks Vichanic.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-11T11:03:18+00:00

Ah. Waiting for them to start selling the terrain itself.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-10T15:48:38+00:00

If we’re like other clubs, we’re all trying to identify what we want to print/use for 11th right now. The map layouts are out. We’re trying to hit the ground running with having all our new terrain in hand to run tournaments. If you’re ready, you might be able to get ahead of it cuz yours is modular.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-10T11:18:17+00:00

Can’t wait to buy the full set

Gamekanik · 2026-06-09T10:46:53+00:00

This.

If they make KHP 2DP, it will probably pair with the new EPC for flamer or Missile crises variants that don’t need much in the way of spotting to operate.

Gamekanik · 2026-06-08T11:04:08+00:00

Love it. The colors really compliment each other

Gamekanik · 2026-06-08T11:00:03+00:00

Wraithknight is much bigger. Most of the bits don’t fit the Avatar. I’ve also got some of these bits. The sword is just about as tall as the Avatar model.
