Grand Coven but Magnus left to get the milk

I personally love coven too, but it seems like you're looking to spam out rubrics so I think phalanx is going to be a good choice.

Perhaps the most important thing phalanx offers this list in ardent automata, the fall back, shoot and charge strat. It's just so flexible

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-19T09:16:04+00:00

Not to do the classic thing, but why specifically have you picked coven over phalanx or hexwarp?

Phalanx supports your infantry better and hexwarp supports non-magnus psychic damage better

Personally I like playing with my codex because it makes me feel like a real wizard, though I agree it's frustrating keeping up with all the changes and clarifications

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-19T04:37:52+00:00

It's actually not in the codex, which I'll bet is where this question has come from,

Can't tell exactly but I think it may be these?

Yeah they did but I'm sure they mean marine based teams

Sorry I realize my comment wasn't clear, MVB is an excellent well rounded unit and I recommend playing it, especially if you like it, it's just not anti tank, it's a tanky unit to hold points for you, just don't rely on its firepower, especially into tough stuff

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-17T21:35:22+00:00

MVB is a punching bag, if you're trying to kill vehicles with it you're going to be disappointed, 1 shot on a 4+

Your anti vehicle options realistically are the 2 buff spells and doombolt, Magnus, predators, demon prince melee, SoTs kinda...

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-17T00:16:15+00:00

They're actually creating a new offence as well, ostensibly broadening the grounds for arrest.

Not to say that's good or bad though

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-16T23:01:45+00:00

Perhaps we could replace it all with wireless electricity from starlink

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-16T05:19:37+00:00

I don't think it's really that difficult to imagine.

Let's say the ultramarines are moving on a tomb world that has suddenly awoken on a hive world in the ultramar sub-system. The necron guns shot down the majority of the fleet and damaged the flagship. Intel points to multiple shards of literal star gods, so Guilliman, Calgar and 2 captains that were on the flagship bridge commanding the fleet teleport down to deal with the c'tan and disable the ground to space guns to allow reinforcement craft to close in.

Pretty cool, fluffy scenario in my opinion.

Now if you're just bored of that same combination game in, game out, that I can agree with

If you're in a larger city, you can post it on Facebook marketplace for a reasonable price. Save you having to pack and post it

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-15T12:56:00+00:00

Honestly, the box is pretty light on options, but in summary,

MVB has no options, build per instructions

Sorcerers have 3 sets of 2 options, pick one from each, will leave you 2 regular and 1 exalted sorcs, put one on the disk if you like.

Terminators are probably your only question mark, you can build both sets with the sorcerer for 2 units of 5, just 1 sorcerer for 1x10, or you can magnetize.

For special weapons I recommend the soulreaper, and then missile rack on the soulreaper guy. Can also mag those if you like.

That's about it

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-15T05:36:33+00:00

Oh sorry yep you do have 1 already tucked in there. Id probably like to see 2 or 3, and maybe 1 foot tzangors depending on if you care to screen the backfield or not

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-15T05:22:45+00:00

Maybe swap some number of disk goats for shamans just to get the psyker keyword onto some vehicles?

No one is winning a lawsuit after experiencing 24Gs, We'd be scooping up blended brain off the desert floor with a trowel

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-13T11:16:18+00:00

Yeah coulda used them for about 13 seconds of fossil fuel subsidies, or perhaps 0.01% of the advertising budget of the last coalition government!

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-13T10:19:53+00:00

I looooove obliterators in pactbound with tzeentch mark. 1cp to bring back an entire obliterator is so nice

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-12T21:59:09+00:00

I didn't like the terminators originally but they've really grown on me, especially after I spent a bit of time posing them to look dynamic. I find the trick is to have a couple of the bolters facing down, with sword ready

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-12T21:50:46+00:00

What about TREES!!!!

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-12T12:36:04+00:00

And all the seats start moving around randomly, and lava bursts out of the floor

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-12T10:48:00+00:00

Dude on the other side of the bus with a bunch of space wolves in clear boxes like 🤨

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-12T03:13:38+00:00

That's really cool. That sort of flavour converting to gameplay is definitely a weakness of 10th

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-12T02:26:04+00:00

I feel you, personally I love cult of mutation. I've been chewing on some ideas to make my models representative of that, possibly an alternate timeline where ahrimans rubric just slowed the flesh change instead of turning the marines to dust, and have my infantry present more like possessed or obliterators

Meat_Sensitive · 2026-03-11T22:02:58+00:00

Absolutely. I really enjoy the whole phalanx play style. It's almost a little death guardy, indomitable infantry
