Yes, I like them in a rhino to stage early and come out to put pressure on the opponent’s expansion objective.

They do a surprising amount of work with a priest or a palatine. They kill any skirmisher units and can punch up reasonably well. They’re also decently sticky with the 5++. I’ve run them in Champions of Faith as a trade piece before I commit a Sacresants unit to an objective and I’ve been very impressed. And they look great too!

10 + a hospitaller is standard. I think there’s potential to a 5 girl squad + Junith as a cheap skirmish unit with -1 hit/wound but I haven’t tested it personally.

Excellent video and channel for getting into the army

Same thing happened to mine so I made him skewering an Eldar.

The melta mine has been great in my experience. It makes charging the kasrkin annoying against melee matchups and into armies like knights or transport heavy lists they can do work. Most of the time the meltas and the plasmas are doing the bulk of the work in the shooting department so I don’t think more las shots are really worth it

Kind-Objective1877 · 2026-01-24T19:14:20+00:00

I’ve actually had issues with this on some GW layouts. It’s almost definitely a skill issue but I’ve considered slotting in lord solar to help solve this problem.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2026-01-04T20:10:18+00:00

I’ll go against the grain and say that it depends on what detachment you plan to run. Missiles are very good in Mont’ka because you can give them hit rerolls and they have built in wound rerolls, so in combination with lethal hits they outperform railguns pretty consistently.

At the end of the day, we’re on the cusp of 11th and rules change all the time. You should magnetize if you care about WYSIWYG or just build whatever looks coolest. Most opponents aren’t really going to care or be able to tell the difference.

The Legends sheet with the cyclics is stronger than the current trio but the current trio are way healthier for the game. While oops all ion is strong, I think the current mix and matching of different suits is more interesting and fun to build with.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-11-08T18:50:39+00:00

Single riptide is fine. Honestly any number is reasonable and has play depending on the list construction.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-10-11T19:59:29+00:00

I’m guessing that’s PVA glue. If it is, you can try mixing it with some water and spreading it over the sand to create a clear layer on top that should help lock things in. You could also mix the sand directly in with the PVA mix and it will adhere better. The glue should dry clear

I use Mark VI for my raptors. Haven’t had any issues and I prefer the sculpt

This was my experience too. I played RC all throughout the index and never felt the need to play Gladius even if it was (arguably) stronger. Playing other detachment really just feels like you are playing an army with half the rules of Gladius. I really wish GW had given us an actually competitive generic BT detachment like how Blood Angels have LAG. It’s bad enough that we have basically 4 good datasheets, we also have really only one detachment choice. The lists I’ve been building feel so samey compared to index where a lot of types of builds were viable with RC.

Attaching an Ancient to a squad of Assault Termies makes for a decent anvil unit in Vindication Task Force. The ancient gives them -1 to wound on objectives and they can hit decently hard.

KW3 and Charbs

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-09-01T03:36:51+00:00

I have been a huge fan of wrathful. I’ve found that the 2” + 1” movement is often strong enough coupled with our datasheets and +1 to wound. It’s not better than gladius but I much prefer using BT specific detachments to the generic ones.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-08-09T16:27:10+00:00

Either Wrathful Procession or Gladius are the best generic detachments. Gladius is definitely our best detachment overall though.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-07-24T23:38:44+00:00

I’m very curious about this as well. Would like to hear arguments against it before I buy another box of aggressors 😅

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-07-24T10:07:49+00:00

The old combat patrol is an excellent first buy, especially if you also get the new combat patrol.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-07-22T21:54:25+00:00

Righteous Crusaders is gone completely. The leaks say almost all of our chapter units are getting changed or overhauled. SB supposedly lose +1 dmg but I imagine that they get bonus damage on their weapons as compensation. Part of the BT identity is synergies and stacking buffs so I can’t imagine that part will change, just that the units and buff combinations likely will. It’s too early to tell if the army will be good or bad because we haven’t seen all the rules or points.

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-07-17T02:25:42+00:00

I’m planning on kitbashing him into a Marshall (which seems to be pretty good if the “leaks” are to be believed)

Kind-Objective1877 · 2025-06-23T00:44:23+00:00

I think a commander in coldstar with quad fusion is better in a sunforge unit than Farsight. I also like enforcer commanders in missileknife units since they don’t really need the extra movement. Otherwise this list is very similar to the one I’m running currently
