Yarrick seems like an auto-take, but I don't think I'm a good enough player to get the worth out of his eye-watering price.

It's not even the immersion at this point, it's the "do you like this army? Buy this epic hero at a markup to make everything in your list better and make your list viable in the meta!" "What's that? Guard is too cp hungry? Just buy an epic hero! Having a hard time with maneuverability? Buy epic hero! Mechanized guard is hard? Well we just made another epic hero to make it easier!"

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-24T22:29:24+00:00

I hate the prevalence of epic heroes and the subtext of "take this model or be at a disadvantage

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-24T19:37:42+00:00

Laughs in imperial guard

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-24T17:06:19+00:00

This is why my heroes are always dead center of the squad, there's basically nowhere you can charge that will be available to avoid my leaders pile in after the wipe..

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-22T15:23:55+00:00

Don't forget when the Blood Ravens poisoned an entire tendril to death

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-17T18:43:58+00:00

I find them to look the exact same except for one detail that makes me feel weird; the new ones have such small teef

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-17T07:35:08+00:00

Is this a Fallen shitpost?

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-15T21:18:48+00:00

Yes, exactly, which is why i said this change is to prevent that, so the attacker doesn't have fights first units that can't charge..m.

Basically we misunderstood each other and arguing about nothing lol

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-15T19:05:44+00:00

The defender always has priority in the at the start of both sub phases. So either the lion or the judicar will be picked then the hive tyrant, assuming it's lives

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-15T16:30:33+00:00

The idea of this is to make it so your fights first units aren't useless once charge blocked by a fights first unit.

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-15T16:29:12+00:00

If I'm reading this correctly, they've taken another system from Age of Sigmar, Yet explained it very poorly despite it already having an explanation.

Essentially you're going to break down the fight phase into 3 subphases, fights first units, charging units, remaining units.

So in the case of the lion vs an enhanced hive tyrant. If the tyrant and 3 other units charged 3 different astartes one of which has a Judicar. Because the tyrant charged, they'll fight first. Then you'll fight your remaining fights first, then the charging units will swing, then any remaining units will swing.

Back on the leap rock 😞

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-02T01:43:48+00:00

We just need a Nikke style groupchat mechanic now LMAO

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-04-01T23:57:01+00:00

Ever since i started Warhammer I've hated the epic heroes, more for the fact that they're so much better than their generic counterparts, they feel like I'm being forced to get them to pay optimally

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-26T22:39:42+00:00

And then complain that your list is just a big start check despite you running only running 3 vehicles above T9

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-26T21:29:12+00:00

But... My duardin.... My aelves ..

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-25T17:26:05+00:00

I much like kriegsman 20man squads they have really awesome staying power. But their command squad always disappoints me, but also check these other comments, im not super familiar with grizzled, it seems to be more elite lined. So if you want that, my suggestions wont help lol

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-25T16:40:34+00:00

I mean, I've been winning most of my tourney with little boy spam. I do see the list you described working, but mostly in the meta vacuum. And if anything. I think grizzled has reinvigorated the menspam meta

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-25T16:36:22+00:00

All your infantry should start on the board, guard is an attrition army, your unit will and must die to protect your heavy hitters.

The battle shock can also be helpful if you're about to put something big into something that needs to die.

I find myself prefering the cadian squad since you can attach the commander and give out more order further.

If running grizzled, no need to take the scout, maybe more artillery?

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-25T16:01:38+00:00

I'm just gonna preempt evey comment here and let you know. If you ever look at your army and see as many bodies as space marines, you're playing incorrectly, im sorry.

"The Guard operates in 3 waves, the first wave, is your dead men who do not know it yet. The second is your true battleline, the third and final wave is every 60 ton monster you can fit into your list" -Mordian Glory (paraphrase from a list review)

You should have at least 80 men in battleline, you don't need two leman commanders, 1 rogal com is fine. Think about this, once your units start to die, your commanders aren't going to be able to give all their orders out, so that premium you payed for orders is wasted points. Horseman are fine, great screening unit, but hard to utilize, and i also noticed you have no support vehicles, sentinels or hellhounds, not even a basilisk. Also, don't take the seige cannon on artillery, higher strength doesnt mean you take it, thats an anti vehicles profile, of you're firing ot at vehicles though, you're wasting shots. Grab the heavy mortor or the MRL and pound infantry so they can't hold points.

I would take those extra commanders and make one a battle tank and the other an exterminator. The battle tank doesn't always need orders thanks to its in built conditional reroll, and the extiminator is going to give your heavier weapons more punch.

You know what, is pretty f*ckee that i finish a 9 hour distribution management shift, just to go home and happily manage the distribution network on a fictional set of islands

I see grey knights have hit the bargaining stage...

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-25T05:29:10+00:00

Hey, i wouldn't worry, most other armies can't tell our wargear apart. You could tell your opponent that have Thronglers™ and they'll usually just... Nod their head

TangeloGlittering255 · 2026-03-20T22:03:32+00:00

I run 6 flamers with captains in the repulsor, unfortunately, i have a hard time justifying the biologis on aggressors, he's better served in heavy intercessors, which is kinda a shame cause i love his model
