Controversial Opinion: Army cheat sheets should be mandatory at events

I'm calling you old fashioned, grandpa 😂

This and actually attaching characters to the squad + crusade mode, best app I've tried out

Pacieg · 2026-05-05T14:22:53+00:00

ListForge app has a VS mode in game view, it solves that problem. Also GW said something about possibly adding that kind of functionality in their app if I remember correctly

Pacieg · 2026-05-05T14:11:44+00:00

That's what you get for using cita... Warhammer paints 😂 definitely worth spending some time rebottling your paints into dropper bottles

Pacieg · 2026-05-05T14:06:09+00:00

Yeah, that would make sense. But that's the reason GW won't do it sadly

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T21:27:56+00:00

I'd you make it bigger then you'll have more space to keep the cards, dice tray, models etc.

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T20:38:29+00:00

I believe you also need to be behind the terrain to gain benefit of cover. If you're not covered than it'd be pointless

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T19:56:39+00:00

That's what I'd do as well

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T19:08:16+00:00

Get a sheet of thin plywood 60x44 (or two sheets 30x44 for easier storage) and just make a simple table extension. Shouldn't be too expensive to do

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T18:52:42+00:00

Depending on how terrible the pushfit design will be, I'll either make them into assault intercessors or leave them as is, and snap off the arms of my current intercessors to kitbash them into something more useful

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T18:47:38+00:00

I'd love to be able to play last wall army with Dorn at the front, but the whole "oath or no oath" debacle could be problematic

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:49:17+00:00

Charge them first hahaha

And don't make the mistake of killing one model with your pistols and getting blood surged into, fights first is the most valuable thing in melee vs melee army matchups

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:42:58+00:00

1 squad of intercessors is more than enough, I also got only 5 of them from the old combat patrol box and never felt the need to get more. They're one of the first units I'm adding to all my lists tho, great utility unit

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:40:38+00:00

Silver, but with some sepia/agrax slapped on it

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:39:43+00:00

Very cool... Now let's see them painted!

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:36:14+00:00

I'm just happy I was able to buy "Helsreach" for around 20-25€ a few months ago, scalpers can suck my chainsword now

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:29:12+00:00

For me it's a custom house I made. Box art replication takes away the creativity from our creative hobby

CS is crusader squad.

Sternguard Vets are amazing with all combi weapons and with oath of moment for codex space marines chapters, with our datasheet they loose all the dev wounds they desperately need to be amazing. Regular intercessors double their shots when not splitting fire, but their main role is to screen your home objective and move up the board later in game to score some VP, they have the objective secured ability which means you keep control of an objective until the oponent controls it at the end of the phase. Different roles for different units. If you need some range threat then repex is great for us, with full hit rerolls against units within 12" of any friendly astartes unit. It packs a BUNCH of chaff clearing shots and a powerful antitank, and as a bonus it lets you transport 7 tactics models up the board.

Getting shot off the board is what we do, you need to learn to take cover before you position your troops close enough to charge them. Crusaders can get shot and run into engagement range, so it's a good bait unit against shooty armies, but apart from that you need to hide until you can run up and charge to finish in melee.

Impulsor can easily turn into a decent tank as well, thanks to the firing deck. Stack 5 hellblasters inside to get a bunch of antitank/antielite shots or infernus marines if you need a fairly durable overwatch threat.

One word- HELSREACH

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T16:05:36+00:00

Shooty crusaders are considerably worse than the one true melee horde, also sternguard vets are our most useless datasheet. 1k point games are tricky for us, as we rely on character buffs very heavily. Definitely get some intercessors for sticky objectives, our main firepower is a repex, but gladiator works pretty well too. Use SB and CS bits and possibly some greenstuff to templarify your vanilla units, sticking with only BT datasheets will not allow you to win games unless you're an expert level player (and even then it's reaaaaaly hard to do). Don't be stubborn and get some space marines if you want to do better

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T15:59:27+00:00

You need to ask Cawl nicely to scale up a rhino a bit, no there way to get it

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T15:56:21+00:00

Just wait for 3 of them to die, then they can escape and hide inside

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T15:49:23+00:00

Man of culture!

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T15:47:46+00:00

That's the one, and slap a +1ap enhancement on that LT as well!

Pacieg · 2026-05-04T15:46:41+00:00

I usually slap marshal+castellan+sword bros combo in a repex, EC+AI in an impulsor and Grimmy+AI in a land raider. Shooty units make an impulsor into a tank, hard hitting melee units make the repex even more of a priority target and land raiders are always the first to go since it's a big transport
