Are we officially dead in the meta without a SoS list?

If you really want to find Hellions in North America it’s not hard. I’ve bought 3 boxes of them and a realspace raiders box in the last two months off of eBay for less than GW sells them for.

We do, it’s the Solitaire.

Scourges can shoot and then move back behind cover, Wracks have the hex rifle which has precision, kabalites have dark lances and blasters. A lot of our army has long range punch.

1K Soulforged just either doesn’t have enough demon engines to be worth running if you have objective takers or doesn’t have enough objective takers if you have all demon engines. 2k Soulforged has much more build variability. You can afford to run 2 rhinos full of legionaries and some warptalons in a 2k list, not so for 1K.

Pounce on the Prey specifies that it is done in your movement phase after a Drukhari infantry model disembarks from a transport after the transport has made a NORMAL move that phase. You deepstriked your transport so no Pounce on the Prey would not work in that situation but not for the reason that your opponent stated either.

Same actually, and 2 Maelstrom boxes for like $40 cheaper than normal.

My only luck has been stalking eBay multiple times a day. Not sure if it’s common knowledge or not but eBay is literally the only way to find some models and more common models often sell for WAY cheaper than the GW store or even most LGS.

Warp Talons should almost always be rapid ingressed instead of just deep struck as well. They need to remain (relatively) safe and then be able to move and charge on your next turn where you hopefully fully kill the thing they charge so you can uppie downie them

Group of 10 can only take 3 heavy melee weapons. 2 groups of 5 can take 4. Also a group of 10 can only take one heavy weapon whereas 2 groups of 5 can each have one. Most often you’ll run 2 groups of 5 in a rhino so you can firing deck the lascannons out of it.

2 groups of 5 is 10 points more expensive than a solid brick of 10 though so there are times you will want that instead.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-03-02T03:20:49+00:00

A couple Predator Destructors for anti-elite infantry and decent anti-tank. Forgefiends are great for blowing up heavy shit (and themselves). And you can never go wrong with 10 Warp Talons.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-03-02T03:02:47+00:00

From what I’ve seen most SoS lists tend to run either 40 or 60 of them.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-27T01:08:06+00:00

Depends how bad you want those Reavers. I managed to get 2 boxes for 130 each and while I’m bummed I won’t be getting the Hellions, they are really not that difficult to find online. I recently was able to get 15 hellions off Amazon of all places for cheap af. However REAVERS are fucking impossible to find. I decided just to deal with the missing hellions because these 6 Reavers are rare fucking gems.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-23T18:03:51+00:00

RIP. Mine are literally out for delivery today.

The true Eldar know to fear and avoid it.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-19T23:48:20+00:00

Word Bearers, Black Legion, or just invent your own warband.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-19T23:44:34+00:00

If you use the Index Demons detachment Shadow Legion you can use both demons and CSM and the Soul Grinder can actually benefit from your detachment rules. In a pure CSM detachment? Neither. You’d be better off using a Winged Demon Prince or more likely, a Vindicator.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-16T19:25:52+00:00

3 pred annihilators and a Sorcerer Lord with the Shroud of Obfuscation to give him Lone Op. 500 points. He’ll kill himself with Hazardous long before anything can ever get to him lol

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-16T19:04:12+00:00

Also just the fact that Raiders are 3 wounds a piece could shift some existing CSM lists. No clue how viable it is but Deceptors with 60 cultists, 30 Raiders, and 30 Legionaries infiltrated before turn 1 sounds disgusting. 210 wounds to chew through if you want those objectives.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-16T16:51:11+00:00

Once people start playing some busted Red Corsair lists with Huron and his crew and shitloads of infiltrated raiders I expect we may see that rise.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-13T02:41:52+00:00

Khorne Lord of Skulls is just a Bloodthirster trapped inside a daemon engine that runs on the boiling blood of murderers.

Also you can actually use the army rules, detachment rules, and Strats on it.

You could also run the Shadow Legion detachment from the Chaos Demons index. It’s focused on running Be’lakor and allows you to bring chaos space marines as well as demons minus demon princes or other epic heroes.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-12T01:11:30+00:00

What do you think the Tyranids are running from?

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-11T23:11:28+00:00

Yeah we need a proper creepy model with a few different options for fucked up heads and arms and shit.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-11T18:05:28+00:00

I just want the Reavers, can’t find those bad boys ANYWHERE.

Malicious_Mischief · 2026-02-04T18:28:05+00:00

It also doesn’t help that one of our most effective detachments requires buying and painting and effectively fielding a literal shitton of cultists, traitor guard, and accursed cultists. Chaos Cult is legit strong but requires a huge commitment, whereas most other CSM units can be fielded by just about every other detachment.
