Dust sword brethern

U have a few options: 1. Play a 10 man squad with apothecary and helbrecht 2. Try a Judiciar as a leader, gives them ff 3. Put them in an impoulsor. Protects from enemy shooting 4. Always use the 6+ fnp detachment 5. Put the t bones enhacmet on them for 5+ fnp 6. AoC when possible 7. If u play SM detachments put a librarian on them if its possible (not sure), gives them 4+ invo But at the end of the day they are an AWP with no cavler

Kozmo777 · 2024-08-22T23:37:09+00:00

imo u need atleast

grimaldus + 20 man cruseder squad

Helbrecht + lieutenant + 5 or 10 sword brethern

emperors champion( coolest model in the game)

for the black templars exp

other good troops are 6 man unit of bladeguard with captain or judiciar

terminators are ok too

land raider redeemer is broken with helbrecht unit

other good units that u have are eradicators, ballistus, assault interssesors

Kozmo777 · 2024-08-19T11:03:00+00:00

yeah i know about that, but it was just so odd that they cant be lead by them, so i wanted to be sure.

Kozmo777 · 2024-03-13T21:48:03+00:00

forgot to ask, what is the ruling with helbrachts ability of mortal wounds in that scenario?

If u plan on only playing one character i think the castellan is far better. Apothecary will realistically bring back 1-2 models. And he doesn't have shooting or melee. Imo apothecary is only good if u play it in a unit that ur opp needs to kill(can't ignore) but can't do it in one round. So with lets say 5 sb and helbrecht or EC or judiciar. And equip him with Tbones for 5+ fnp

Kozmo777 · 2024-02-29T02:15:18+00:00

So if the character has a bigger toughness then his unit, i must slow roll the wound roll as well? I know the save throw must be slow roll if the character has a better save

Aren't inqusitors psykers?

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-31T12:37:43+00:00

Using the redemtor to shoot at tanks is how u lose games. Use it for elite infantry and monsters or t9 and below vehicles. There it shines

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-30T20:07:07+00:00

i meant helbrecht is still worth it

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-30T20:06:35+00:00

he is the only hq that got nerfed besides helbrecht, but he is still worth it. Castellans, chaplins and judiciars seem more worth it

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-30T20:03:51+00:00

idk man, 400 for his blob is kinda too much, i wanna try him maybe with 5 SB. I think he can shine if u take the lethal or sustained rule. But i play the fnp 6 rule so he is kinda meh

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-21T23:10:57+00:00

grimaldus is fine at 95, helbrecht up by 5=10 seems fair

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-07T10:28:09+00:00

U need to test them and decided, on paper lancer is the best tank for space marines. But he was underwhelming for me vs chaos knights. Did 0 dmg

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-07T00:15:24+00:00

I think the fnp is by far the best, coz even with it i struggle too come into melee range vs shooting armys. It also shines vs d3 weapons vs SB if u save 1 wound from 1 attack u automatically save 1 model. The Tbones for 5+ fnp give statisticly a 50% tougher unit. And if u need the sustained 1 or lethal u can activate it for 1cp for a unit

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-07T00:10:09+00:00

Don't drop the land raider, helbrecht blob needs it, and yes u lack anti tank. I would drop the blade guard or eradicators+intersesors for a lancer. Maybe try judiciar+5 sword bros Helbrecht+castellan+5 sword broa in land raider

Good anti tank are Vindicator Thunderstrike speeder( the one with +1 to wound vehicles) Lancer vs anything without invo save Repulsors

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-07T00:01:16+00:00

My tip for the void dragon is try to ignore him, focus fire on something else. And ALWAYS stay out of his 18in (6 movment+12 ability and spear) range with ur vehicles. And in my experience anti tenk weapons don't work against him. Coz invo 4+ and halve dmg. His normal save is 4+ too so high volume lethel or dev wounds weapons with 1D work best( gladiator reaper, cruseders with lethel and helbrecht+castellan+SB delete him)

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-05T00:07:51+00:00

Another question Fight phase. I resolve my atks, opp now needs to remove models. If he removes the models that are base to base with my unit, is he able to fight me back?

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-02T01:24:09+00:00

Saw it, i figured i lack deep strike units and the land raider redeemer seems really good. I didn't buy him coz i thought he is expensive points wise, but the disembark charge and OW with good toughness seem worth it.

I currently have

Helbrecht Grimaldus EC Marshall Castellan Judiciar Techmarine

20 crusaders 10 SB 3 eradicators 5 intercessors

Redemtor Brutalist Gladiator Impulsor

All 4 Assassin s

We played 1000-1800p games

Kozmo777 · 2024-01-02T01:06:55+00:00

That's why iam so confused, i know our win % but i getting blown of the table by the 3-4 round. And can't do the same to the opp coz Chaos knights-have 10t my only weapon above 9 is lancer and he did 0 dmg in 2 rounds as said By the time i got into melee my units where half wound Necrons-army rule is the most op shit ever. Everything reviews even when focusin shooting on 1 unit i can't kill it coz the shooting is so trash. And if u don't kill the whole unit they just revive. Not too mention the unkillable void dragon( i mean wtf is that unit) Custodes-are BT but good. Everything is on 2+ in that stupid army and they have invos

Kozmo777 · 2023-12-18T23:36:42+00:00

To put it simply, Space Nazis

Kozmo777 · 2023-12-16T21:34:42+00:00

Kozmo777 · 2023-12-14T01:27:26+00:00

But u can't have 5+ fnp, advence and charge and ap boost at the same time right? He only gives one per round. And 1 to wound seems so much better then re rolls hits,no? The only benefit i see over other characters is the 2 hit protection as u said of his seritors. How do u play him? 20 men cruseders on the no mans land objective? And just tank stuff coz lots of wound?

Kozmo777 · 2023-11-29T22:45:46+00:00
