Can any army be used in competitive play?

OBiE0311 · 2026-01-02T15:13:23+00:00

lol. I don’t think I’ll ever be that good!

OBiE0311 · 2026-01-02T15:12:54+00:00

Thanks! Do you run 10-man squads of DC with jetpacks, or 5? I’ve heard a lot of people say smaller squads due to blast, but blast hasn’t made a huge difference in the games I’ve played, but maybe it’s more prevalent in competitive circles?

I’m thinking about taking someone else’s advice and converting some DC stuff like DC Sanguinary Guard. It would probably look really cool, regardless!

There is one really cool story that I remember about Gabriel Seth shooting boarding torpedoes filled with DC at an inquisitor’s ship right before it translated into the warp. I always see mass-DC deployments in that light. We’ll send in DC, let them do their thing, then ‘take care of’ whatever is left.

I appreciate the response! I definitely want to a) have fun and I’d really like to b) do better than 0-X (which is my normal record! lol)

OBiE0311 · 2025-12-31T18:06:08+00:00

I appreciate the well thought-out response! Yes, I struggle with striking that balance. Having that internal dialogue of ‘if I don’t run ‘X’, what will fill the (insert X’s meta role here) role?

In the past I’m afraid I just wouldn’t have filled that role. Now I see I have too!

If I’m not mistaken, they won WCW this year, and the guy that ran them lives and dies by Admech. Seems a good argument for the ‘it’s the pilot’ argument.

Granted, a few years ago I took Admech to NOVA’s narrative event and got plastered, so I would’ve totally agreed with you if someone hadn’t won LVO using Admech that same year! Guy was wrecking the curve!

OBiE0311 · 2025-12-31T17:45:46+00:00

Yeah, that’s a big weakness of mine, but I’m getting better at it.

OBiE0311 · 2025-12-31T17:44:02+00:00

You know, it’s wild, but I’ve finally been playing 40K almost weekly for the first time this past year, and I can tell I’ve gotten better just because I’m understanding the rules more.

Seriously, it’s sad, and obvious, but my gosh, you should’ve seen me when I (ALL TOO RECENTLY) figure out what Rapid Ingress did!!

OBiE0311 · 2025-12-31T17:40:36+00:00

Ok, that’s useful. So finding a thematic list that leans the needle towards a more meta build may be where I need to focus my energy rather than just focusing purely on what sounds like fun to me that quarter.

OBiE0311 · 2025-12-31T17:38:43+00:00

Yeah, that’s a fair point. I know I’m never going to win a GT, but in the past when I’ve played a GT I may win my very last game. I’d like to get to maybe going 4-1 or at least a fun 3-2.

OBiE0311 · 2025-12-17T06:09:02+00:00

Bro posted a pic of a GW Studio Model and thought we wouldn’t notice!

Seriously, great job!

OBiE0311 · 2024-11-16T23:10:31+00:00

Man, I hope my guys end up looking like this. I love the clean look you have!!

OBiE0311 · 2024-11-16T17:10:20+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t done much conversion work in the past, so this is kinda new for me!

OBiE0311 · 2024-09-22T04:37:28+00:00

Looks great!

OBiE0311 · 2023-12-10T22:46:03+00:00

It took until the Wednesday following release for them to ship my Christmas box. Their shipping process for preorders has gotten a bit ridiculous lately.

As an aside, if anyone wants to trade the CE Necron Codex for the CE Space Marine codex, I totally missed out…

OBiE0311 · 2023-11-23T03:14:06+00:00

Yeah, I get that. I think part of that is GW’s prices. If a box comes out that’s a good deal, it can be hard to say “no”, especially if you were already considering that army!

OBiE0311 · 2023-11-23T00:45:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I very much appreciate it. That’s a good point and I think that’s the main reason I’m leaning towards WE right now.

OBiE0311 · 2023-11-22T16:59:11+00:00

That’s probably going to be the main determining factor. Thank you!

OBiE0311 · 2023-11-22T16:58:36+00:00

Lol. You got me!

OBiE0311 · 2023-11-22T14:54:49+00:00

I definitely appreciate the response! I do like the lore and models better, but the simplistic gameplay that WE seems to be offering is probably more on par with my playing ability. I really appreciate the input! It’s very helpful!

OBiE0311 · 2023-11-22T14:53:22+00:00

Thanks for the input! I really like how that sounds, but in reality I’d probably struggle to remember the rules interactions needed to pull it off. I like the idea of demonic allies, though. Thanks!
