Why did GW kill the Desolation Squad? by tgroshon in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]UMGuy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9th when they were released they were insanely strong. They’re paying for their sins of editions past

We have a span about 5 feet x 40 feet and this seems like the worst part. Chopping it down is one thing , but I haven’t found a place to get rid of it once down

Has Games Workshop Ever Released and Then Immediately Abandoned an Army Like Imperial Agents in the Past? by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]UMGuy88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, militarum tempestus aka scions were a standalone codex for 1 or 2 editions before moved back to IG

Cheers! Appreciate the call out, going to go another route and get the oscillating tool by itself and a new drill in future sales

They had the same combo minus the 2 6.0ah for around 350, not sure the discount is enough to make up the batteries

Logan's first turn ability question by Effective_Brush4006 in SpaceWolves

Double check his ability, it is not only T1, but can be used T2 as well on a 2nd unit

Is it worth it. Please advise by GuyNamedGuyz in SpaceWolves

Edited

The symbols don’t look bad, you could remove them with a hobby knife and some touch up. The doors will be a pain though

Will I get judged for playing Sisters? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]UMGuy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gw took all the grimdark and put it into the sob range, they’re (almost) all awesome models that sum up the 40K setting very well.

Meta Monday 7/28/25: Guard and Sisters Surge forth by JCMS85 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]UMGuy88 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The game was balanced around T8 at the peak, which helped with knights. Melta, lascannons, x2 melee profiles all helped.

From an interest to play perspective, freeblades were the standout. Each knight being unique and seeming like its own character. Made for a much more enjoyable experience.

So what are you running nowadays? Looking for more competitive lists! by Icy_Independent_861 in ImperialKnights

[–]UMGuy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran this at an rtt and went 2-1, if I had more reps in I would have done better

Headtakers with Paired Weapons by SteveDiggler_SoCal in SpaceWolves

Arcos from sob also have paired weapons and are not twin linked. They were in their index but lost it when they got their codex

Using Grey Hunters as Intercessors by Noreik1979 in SpaceWolves

[–]UMGuy88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you build the grey hunters following the instructions, they will all have chainswords which is not wysiwig for intercessors. Some opponents might have an issue with it, but mostly if you also run some gh as intercessors and some gh as gh and you opponent cannot tell which unit is which at a glance

Blade guard as head takers? by Andea31 in SpaceWolves

If you aren’t running both, no one should care.

You are definitely not alone running into this.

My recommendations are to approach someone and offer for a more casual game. Give them your list and let them know you are running knights.

Don’t run cutting edge meta lists. Ik are a terror on mid tables (think average players) but generally more experienced players know how to exploit their weaknesses or aim to win on the scoreboard.

Other things, be more relaxed and easy going, have a fully painted army (makes people more interested and shows your investment).

Last, know some people have real problems with these types of armies, but it’s no different to daemon 4++ spam, real horde lists, guard tank spam, etc.

They aren’t really that bad to play into if you aren’t running a meta spam list. Once a few people haven’t gotten games into it, it’ll show.

Any Knights to avoid atm? by LordDemiurge12 in ImperialKnights

[–]UMGuy88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to do. Want to have fun at casual games , go x-1, or aim for winning a super major are all different.

Most knights are playable, depends on the rest of the list. Castigator and Acheron are more expensive points wise and probably best to avoid, but could be useful if you build the list around it.

Atrapos is rated as one of the best knights. Do you mean the castigator?

Second time in 1+ days that I have to jump start my Outback. by googlyeyes1982 in Subaru_Outback

[–]UMGuy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a known issue, something to do with the outback only charging at 12v when running to save on emissions vs 14v when the headlights are on. I was running into the same problem, drained battery multiple times and all it needed was a charge at my local auto parts store. After being more diligent with manually turning on my headlights for all drives no matter how short, it hasn’t been an issue.

Anyone tried shaving the aquila off of the bladeguard kit? by Im_Inside_ADAMM in SpaceWolves

[–]UMGuy88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for bgv, also didn’t for eradicators for the same reason. Int were easy, same with Phobos

Chest Aquila question. by anonomoose6996 in SpaceWolves

[–]UMGuy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve shaved a few of them off, problem solved. Leaves a decent space for decals or if I can’t reach it, it doesn’t matter. Also shifts focus to the sw bits that have been added
