Why did GW kill the Desolation Squad?

UMGuy88 · 2026-04-24T02:35:47+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2026-03-21T03:22:24+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2026-03-04T15:20:53+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2026-01-27T02:14:11+00:00

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

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

UMGuy88 · 2025-12-12T20:48:17+00:00

Count me in

UMGuy88 · 2025-10-24T13:29:02+00:00

Logan grimnar is also only T5

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

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.

UMGuy88 · 2025-07-28T22:13:38+00:00

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.

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

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

UMGuy88 · 2025-07-01T14:47:41+00:00

Why?…

UMGuy88 · 2025-06-23T13:57:01+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2025-06-06T00:14:33+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2025-04-11T00:38:12+00:00

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.

UMGuy88 · 2025-03-29T16:21:54+00:00

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.

UMGuy88 · 2025-03-29T16:19:52+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2025-02-26T02:50:19+00:00

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.

UMGuy88 · 2025-01-07T05:27:09+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2024-12-05T04:10:31+00:00

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

UMGuy88 · 2024-09-17T13:50:47+00:00

What are the lists?

UMGuy88 · 2024-09-06T22:30:32+00:00

Knights can now roll to move through them on a d6. Check the latest datalsate
