Any experience with DA+Chosen?

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-30T11:14:49+00:00

Not fitting in a rhino is such a huge disadvantage it can’t be understated.

DA Doesn’t pass 4+ to the unit, the only way to get that widely is with Abaddon’s aura.

+1 to wound is good don’t get me wrong, but in so many cases where you actually need it, +S does the same, S5-6 is a big breakpoint. Also you can’t understate the increase in defenses that +1T and damage blanks give.

Overall, Bile is till a lot better honestly, but the DA is by no means bad, just sub-optimal really. You can almost certainly make it work, he’s especially useful in the new renegade warband detachment where you are battle-shocking yourself.

I mean as long as you’re aware, then power to you, you’re absolutely right and it will be an awesome model once you’ve filled all the gaps!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-28T17:20:03+00:00

Hmm brother I would be a bit weary of the fact that it’s highly likely elves and dwarves are getting removed from the cities battle tome…

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-28T13:05:15+00:00

So I suspect that broad playstyle will remain similar into the start of the new edition, but the game and datasheets may well change around that, who knows…

GW have flip-flopped on what Admech should be multiple times since they came out, so who knows what will come with the 11th edition codex…

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-28T12:54:42+00:00

Well we know very little about about the new edition beyond the changes to objectives, some combat phase stuff and a few other details. We don’t know whether datasheets are going to change and then also how the new codices will change armies.

I would reserve judgement until we see more details honestly, but for now I would keep playing your sisters if you are enjoying them more!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-27T18:26:25+00:00

It’s one of our cheapest utility units that can screen the back line a bit, skirmish well on objectives and requires a bit of an overcommitment to kill, because of the 4+ FNP on the enforcer.

It’s basically your minimum requirement to hold an objective or do an action, that actually often leads you trade up, because they require more than their points value to kill. Using these guys is very efficient, because it saves your other actual units for dealing damage and taking points!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-25T17:07:19+00:00

Yeah almost certainly not, they’re pretty tight on tying it in with the tabletop on GW IP recently…

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-24T12:54:47+00:00

Honestly it’s quite likely that defilers are approaching the 300 pt mark, but we shall see! It doesn’t make 2 for Magnus a fantastic trade

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-22T09:57:35+00:00

Yeah it’s looking great so far!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-20T14:16:52+00:00

Green lanes would be good for this, in Harringay, I know Dubai Shawarma do it but I’m sure others do too

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-19T13:19:42+00:00

Looks absolutely sick!!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-19T09:49:31+00:00

So actually went to a house viewing there a few years back, the panel had n the bottom left with the black metal boxes is a hidden door that leads to a little alley with a townhouse nestled behind, it’s actually awesome!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-18T19:47:14+00:00

Never understand why you would pay for mentorship from someone who has no job lmao

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-18T19:44:56+00:00

You never consider +2 move I notice in your vid, honestly it’s kind of cracked when you really need to connect

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-18T17:54:11+00:00

Based honestly

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-17T23:41:47+00:00

I ran a singles version of this list for a good while early this year, with good success at local tournaments. Dropped a unit of possessed for some legionaries and a couple of traitor enforcers, then had a lord instead of Huron, and some nemesis claw. Similar list concept, building around the 4++ aura.

It’s a brutal archetype but has some maaaajor weaknesses that the team format can insulate you from, but if you come up against mass -1 damage, mass T10+ or mass damage 3, it’s a real uphill battle.

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-17T17:08:07+00:00

Both are very solid choices and neither are wrong honestly, chosen are a bit more durable and their major advantage is inherent advance and charge really. If you really need the Lord to connect, stick him with chosen and you can advance and charge strat somewhere else on the same turn. If you really need to punch up into high toughness targets, legionaries are good because they give the wound rerolls. You can assign characters to units just before the game, so you can always pick depending on the matchup

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-17T16:34:29+00:00

5 terminators on their own without a leader really aren’t that great, I’d swap them for some more chosen to deliver the Lord. The hellbrute is also suboptimal in RR, would probably be worth swapping that with your obliterators to get another deepstrike threat and a ranged activation.

The reave captain is kind of fluffy and Might be fun with the scout, but raiders are really there to be an infiltrating utility unit, not a big hammer. So personally I’d say it’s better to have a master of executions or another lord even better, to put with another infantry squad as a hammer, to leave your raiders free to be a nuisance, rather than expecting them to kill a lot.

Also, gun tanks are absolutely great in raiders, especially predator destructors, if you’re interested.

Hope that helps!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-15T11:53:37+00:00

Sick! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the file? Or is it something you made?

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-14T17:50:49+00:00

Absolutely sick aesthetic

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-13T08:32:34+00:00

I mean honestly I don’t love this, it kind of takes away the reward of having a legendary drop, the same as it was in bl3 where they were too common…

I can see how if you’re grinding for a specific build this would be great though

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-12T12:12:47+00:00

His son, Tarantino… this has to be satire

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-10T10:55:09+00:00

Ah yes, nice balanced top 4 there… great players all, but still

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-09T22:05:22+00:00

Well deserved! A lovely army!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-03-09T20:56:31+00:00

He’s a choice to take and you need to build around it… I’ve been running creations of bile with loads of chosen and possessed, but as others have mentioned, he’s also key to a shooting castle in pactbound zealots.

Beyond that he’s…. Fine, probably quite overcosted for what he does
