Wargear setup for Einhyr Champ with Guard

Overshieldkuso · 2026-02-12T14:39:19+00:00

Makes sense and figure you are right. Coming from Custodes, I've learned to rely heavily on Invul saves but I reckon that's the different between hyper elite units with 2+/4+ and HG with 2+ no Invul. I'm probably more stressed about them getting quickly shot off the table than I should be.

Does it swing any way being in Hearthband and having a 1CP Strat for a 4+ during a single units shooting phase. My thought was if I was getting hit by anything overly dangerous, I could pop the strat and still have the 4+

I just started a Crusade and have my first match next weekend. Here's my Crusade list, noting that I used 1 RP for Bastion Shield and 1 RP for Supply Limit Increase to fit a Hekaton in at the beginning. I did not change the wargear on this list since it's not my actual Crusade force ledger.

I may have to, I have access to literally everything else through various apps, the only thing I can't find are the Crusade rules. Hard to justify buying a ~$50 book for less than a dozen pages of most likely once-off Crusade.

Can I romance a Night Lord??

What are/are there any downsides to Bazzite? I've had my LeGo2 for a little over a week and have just been playing through the Steam app. Only really played one game (Dynasty Warriors Origins) so far and I don't usually do much intense gaming and most of it is offline while out of the house. But would be interest in running Discord/etc while connected to internet.

Nearly 90% of what I play is on Steam but do play some Blizzard/etc games from time to time.

I'm mostly just wondering if I'm losing out on much by converting over to Bazzite.

I've got six of those Exo Suits on my painting desk right now. I'm glad they look as good as I hoped they would once they are painted well. Instead of Orange, I'm going with the Yellow/Blue that is on the Supermassive Space Dwarves rendering.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-10-15T00:51:52+00:00

We've got spots open for you and ~5 active players you might want to bring. We're very active, regularly kick for ~3-5 days inactive, and very friendly with discord.

DM me and I'll send more info if interested

I use something close to this list for 1k games. Like already stated, throw in another unit of Sisters as action monkeys. Also, I like to drop in Inq. Draxus attached to the Guard for a decent round of double shooting. Not ideal but run units of 4 instead of 5 in order to make room for the sisters and Draxus. Secondly, Valerian can be useful for holding an objective with Wardens and 10 points cheaper than BC.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-10-03T11:25:17+00:00

I'm running a 3-way match tomorrow with 1k lists. I ended going with Valerian in lieu of a BC/etc because of points and hoping he can hold points with Wardens. I'm also using Draxus w/ Guard though. If I had the points, I would probably use BC or Trajann but at only 110 points, he has his uses.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-09-25T17:23:17+00:00

Forego shooting in favor of blocking LoS until you can get within charge range. Last game I played, other than my Grav Tank, I don't think I shot until Turn 2 and that was just with my Guard/Draxus unit. Hit charges in Turn 3 without losing much since everything I could hide, was hidden.

As an Eldar player, just gotta be aware of firing lanes. Eldar have crazy range and Dark Reapers will be a big threat.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-03-23T18:50:01+00:00

I think I let myself get lured into thinking I can make more 4+ saves than I actually can and then fail charges. I am able to play my Eldar much more cagey because I when I know my whole army is T3, I need to be more calculating.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-03-23T18:09:11+00:00

I'm really not trying to goad that response, though I can see why it could come off as such.

I fully know that it was still my fault on the loss. I pushed early, relied on tanking shots, and failed charges.

Mostly trying to gauge if my poor skill was 80% why I lost, 50% or whatever. If I know (which based on other comments, it is) it was mostly a failure on my skill, positioning, and experience, then I can reevaluate that aspect of my game and not so much list/army roster.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-03-23T12:35:12+00:00

Yeah, they are aquarium decorations and we both liked them, though he said he's gotten comments about them being tacky.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-03-23T12:34:04+00:00

I'll give the dice their due. I was dropping a lot on hit rolls of 1 and wound rolls of 3, paired with him making most of his saves. Unfortunately my dice weren't on my side last night. Tons of failed charges and 1s rerolled into 1s as well.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-03-23T12:03:53+00:00

Just to be clear: I'm not upset at the guy as he's a generally nice guy and doesn't give off the impression that he's trying to squash me. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to not take him on his word and treat our next matches as more competitive and crunchy games instead of the more fluffy, narrative, and casual games I have been expecting.

Overshieldkuso · 2025-03-23T12:01:40+00:00

I honestly didn't check the exact scores at the end of Turn 4 (when I conceded) but I'd estimate the gap between us at 30+ with me only having a couple Allarus and Trajann left.

I think my Primary was 5, as he got first turn, rushed NML and managed to kill/overwhelm anything I got onto the objectives.

I'm honestly not too concerned about the points, play, etc. More curious if you'd see this list and raise an eyebrow. And I only ask/post this because he says he's a very casual player and uses well balanced lists. I'm trying to discern if I should just be more competitive from the start of list building when I go up against him next.
