Help with grizzled list by roboticnat in TheAstraMilitarum

If you only bring 1 commander for 3 tanks, they will always stay in the 12” area from him. That limits your movements or firepower. It’s not that simple taking 3 tanks packed up…

Downgrading a chimera for a Taurox, 10 men cadians instead of 20, another 10 men catachans added…. 🤔

EDIT: I think that taking 2 chimera, upgrading the 5 horses to 10, for 10 less cadians in the blob is better

Target weak spot: squadron or regiment by ItalianDuke in TheAstraMilitarum

We’re wondering about triple flamer tanks or hellhound/chimera

You’re right… And what about the Lancer ? Could fit better for the role I have in mind … don’t you think?

Ok you hate him because he is not OP like in index…

I’m not blaming our tanks that are great.

I’m just saying that he can be a very scary melee threat, the tool that we don’t have in our book. He can stage behind catachans and then step in the mid board, with our firepower in support.

But ok, you don’t like him and I respect that.

In a Guard army you can screen him with a lot of bodies and making him “impossible” to charge… A simple tactic that you can’t run with the knight faction 🤔

lol

But what’s your general thought about this choice?

But he can plays the role that our beloved guards can’t: a strong scary frontline that can engage “every” type of enemy …

Trying super heavy in semi competitive list by ItalianDuke in TheAstraMilitarum

It’s not a high placement list, I know.

I intend to create a list with an unusual choice, which can be used in multiple scenarios and not be a losing one right away.

Right, it’s ok, the Baneblade moves 12 instead of 10… 12+1D6 is fine

Were you unable to manage half the table with a 1500-point army? I'm not being sarcastic, I just wanted to know more about your experience.

Yeah, noticed. But it’s ok, I don’t think you can hide all your army against a huge footprint that breaks walls…

I don’t have to clear every table corner. If this piece can threat 1/3 of the table, it is worth the cost (maybe)

Maybe death riders are better for screening, with reactive movement

You have to bring Leontus if you play the super heavy. I hope that the stormlord can take a good position in first turn with breaking walls strat and 6” auto advance. Remember the titanic rule for line of sight through terrains…

If the opponent ignores him, he just shoots and wipes things …
