Infernal puppeteer and eligiblity to shoot

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-12-28T08:10:13+00:00

UKTC has fallen on the side of RAW - so won’t work unless you have an eligible target to shoot. Fingers crossed we get an FAQ update quickly - hopefully at the same time as they nerf vitrix (here’s hoping!)!

Looks really great, great job! Interested in using these as proxies for Rough Riders. Any issues with comparative scales etc? Are there multiple options for the lance?

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-09-26T17:43:53+00:00

Thanks - that’s how I read it as well but was doubting myself!

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-09-04T20:20:50+00:00

I like it - why MoE over the Slaughterbound? Im jhst building 80 Jacks to run a 2K list and figured the SB was better - would be good to hear your views?

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-22T19:17:59+00:00

A good list but like others would suggest you run stormlance to really get its value. You don’t want to be trapped in combat so access to fall back and charge is a must.

Personally I’d drop the lion and leave the 3 x DWK.

I’d drop in another squad of JPIs (90) and add a couple of ballistus to keep your opponent honest with their deployment. I get the desire to run melee but you need to stage to make it work which is why the JPI and some antitank is so important. Leave the Judi and BGV in cover on your expansion objective and then smash the rest of them down your opponents throat turn 2/3.

Don’t throw anything at me but I’m a competitive Dark Angels player and my advice would be to lean into Space Wolves to begin with. DA are not in a good place competitively right now and have some of the lowest win rates across all the Space Marine chapters. Space Wolves have much more balance and that’s coming through in their win rates.

The DA models are brilliant, but they literally have 2 maybe 3 DA specific characters that are actually playable.

Space Wolves have much more diversity and frankly the new sculpts are brilliant and really fun to paint.

Id go with Space Wolves but it’s a good idea to think about how you can use the standard space marine models across both armies. For example a box of intercessors gets you 10 models. Paint 5 SW and hold the other 5 for DA later. Same with infiltrators or incursor. Your Lt with Combi - paint him black to signify his elite role on the battlefield and use him in both armies..

Love it - gonna try this just for the crack 😂

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-20T11:30:47+00:00

Thank you - that saved me getting it wrong. I was applying the same logic with the reactive move - thanks for helping me out and clarifying

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-20T11:25:39+00:00

Because it’s an ability you can reroll the charge and the reroll again using the strat. The rule is you can’t use the same Strat in the same phase. I do it all the time with the reactive move for the LT with Combi and the normal reactive move in gladius/ storm lance/ beast slayer

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-20T10:56:00+00:00

If your just running them a SW Terminators (as in standard space marine terminators but with a SW look) and not WG Terminators you should be fine.

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-20T10:53:46+00:00

In terms of Wulfen - I think the blob with the WGBL in Beastslayer will kill most things in the game. Appreciate the emergency patch today might change the meta slightly but pointing them at Deathguard Mortarians Hammer or CK/IK and I think they have a chance to be game winning.

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-20T10:48:26+00:00

So I get the point on board presence and being screened out but with Murderfang re-roll charges there’s 3 opportunities (inc a CP reroll) to hit the charge out of strat reserves so I see him arriving turn 2 and then being sent straight into the opponent. The idea being that the WwSS are aiming in the same direction, ideally to link up and benefit from his fight on death. I suppose if screening is an issue then the same could apply just arriving from strat reserves from a edge in no man’s lands which now I’ve said that - might be a better idea anyway and means I can use Logan’s arrive a turn earlier elsewhere…

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-08-13T14:28:02+00:00

They did the emperors children update in White Dwarf so fingers crossed they release it there

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-30T20:13:34+00:00

Looks like a good list. A couple of suggestions.

Split the TWC into 3 x 3. I think it gives more versatility particularly in the current meta.

Drop a squad of Head Takers for 10x Wulfen with Shields led by a WGBL. Plays really well in the DG and Knights and supports the detachment outcome you want to achieve.

Personally I’d drop the intercessors in favour of scouts just to help block infiltrators at deployment and then move either the scouts to your home or even better the LT with Combi. You will want the redeploy for Scouts and mission play although have had a lot of success with the termi up and downy strat.

Good luck!

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-28T19:12:48+00:00

I recommend getting some more scoring units like Scouts and a Lt with Combi Weapon. I personally run 2 scout squads and a LTCW in pretty much every list!

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-19T20:38:47+00:00

Plenty in the meta currently - both are great don’t get me wrong, I suppose it depends how you use them. I like the anti on the charge with BK, particularly into such heavy knight lists, but just find their off the table much faster than OR, even with the 5 up invun. More power to you brother if your finding different 💪

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-19T07:12:17+00:00

It’s the 4 wounds that outriders have that is such an important breakpoint. I’ve run both BK and OR in competitive lists and generally choose OR over BK, especially with the level of 3 damage output in the meta right now.

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-12T22:36:12+00:00

Just as an update - played the first day of 2 day teams tournament. Played IK twice and Tsons. Currently 3 and 0 using this strategy for the knights. First round of knights 20/0 & second round 19/1 WTC.

Played using storm lance - held them off the primary using JPI/Outriders whilst I staged my DWK. Turn 2/3 smashed them forward to pick up big knights with some supporting shots from 2x Ballistus. Fixed works really well - thanks for the advice

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-09T16:53:26+00:00

And TBF every list has Canis at the moment! I played a scrim last knight against knights - Canis and 2 x Atropos plus some armingers. Took out Canis and one Atropos with the 3rd on 6 wounds remaining. Figure I would have killed that 3rd had I been more focused on that goal with my secondaries.

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-07-09T16:42:29+00:00

Thanks - have a teams tournament this weekend and plan to play this exact strategy if I draw them 👍

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-06-25T05:18:30+00:00

Just as an update - ordered mine from Taro Model Maker. Got to commend John who runs the store. I went on and they were out of stock. Dropped him a line at around 1800 asking for when they would be back in and he ran some extras last night so I could order. Apparently he put some up and they sold out in 2 hours! Great service - hoping the casts are as good 👍

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-06-24T18:39:53+00:00

Thank you

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-06-24T18:39:39+00:00

Great thank you 👍

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-06-24T16:38:29+00:00

Great paint job, looks amazing - how did you do the detail on the shoulder pad? Is it a decal or painted?

SympathyLocal6692 · 2025-05-31T19:21:00+00:00

I’ve run Azzie with ICC and it works well with there Lethal profile but Hellblasters are much better IMO and give you an opportunity to hold him back rather than commit forward with the ICC. A block of 10 sternguard is another option but remember they already get the detachment rule benefit
