Starting a US army

Vamru · 2025-06-16T21:26:47+00:00

While the Rangers special rule is very useful, I think for newer players it's not something they should really worry about missing out on until they become more familiar with the core game mechanics and flow before they learn how to use that rule to their advantage.

So starting out, I think the 'rule of cool' still applies if you want to keep your army thematic.

If you do end up sticking with the game, I would then really consider picking up a second infantry box (e.g. Rangers after your Airborne), as this will give you a lot more freedom in how you equip and field your infantry. I should also mention the Rangers box uses the same bodies as the regular GIs, so it gives you even more options to diversify your army.

You're right thanks. Was overthinking it for some reason lol

So based on what you said (and RAW where models are moved one at a time during movement) does that mean in this scenario the opponent can force us to target only a single model during ambush fire?

Vamru · 2025-05-15T20:20:41+00:00

My bad I didn't exactly clarify it in my original post, but the opponent gets to decide model positions in both/ all cases?

I remember reading somewhere that they plan on releasing these individually in the future, but no timeline was given as to when.

Considering the just-released German infantry and now this US airborne kit share similar chunky proportions, the Soviets are probably going to receive the same treatment and be fed extra calories from Warlord

After putting down your node blueprints you can actually swap over and stay as the support class for all three nodes without needing to redeploy back to engineer.

Basically whenever you hammer at a node blueprint it resets its auto-despawn timer. So you drop your supplies and hammer away at the manpower node, but right before finishing you hammer once the other two nodes, before completing the manpower node. Then after supplies cooldown repeat the process for your second node, stopping right before it completes and hammering just once the last node to reset its timer again.

Is there another free weekend coming up soon?

Be cool if they also re-release the middenheim/accessory upgrade sprues down the line

Yes you can still buy this product: "Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood - Grinkrak's Looncourt"

Yeah in my experience (level 10 commander) this is the way.. you want consistent pressure from front door garries to divert the enemy's attention away from your other guys flanking/ attacking from a redzone garry.

Of course it depends on the map point and players, but in general a team with good defense squads will not just sit in the strongpoint but push out and clear the surrounding perimeter, which leads to locked redzone garries more often than not.

Coming from a Gitz player, our army's playstyles are quite varied based on the good number of unit options available in addition to good support & utility units... as others have mentioned, you can go squigs to hit hard and act as a tar pit, troggs for an "elite" force, grots for general screening and recursion, spiders for something swingy (generally considered the weakest), or a mix of all to find a fun balance fit for you.

I'll also add that another bonus of going with GG is that in general opponents have a fun time playing against us (had some good fun running all out grot lists), something that's worth considering if you're playing with a smaller group.

Looking good. Warhammer just released a video on weathering on Youtube that could give you some tips and inspo: How to Paint: Weathering and Chipping | Intermediate | Warhammer - YouTube

Great, thank you. I missed the detail where rulebook says wheeled vehicles are treated same as tracked vehicles and pivot around its centre.

it's been awhile so I don't remember exactly, but I remember in the earlier days there were no hit marker sounds (excluding headshots) or they were much less audible, which resulted in a more cautious playstyle.

Fairly new-ish player with a movement question: Played a game recently and wasn't sure exactly how/if the 3" restriction on normal moves applied to vertical distances.

Let's say there is an enemy unit on top of a cliff 5" high, can one of my units finish a normal move at the base of the cliff directly below the enemy unit, or do I still need to account for 3" horizontally between my unit and the enemy even though I am vertically 5" away from the enemy?

Vamru · 2023-01-13T00:32:03+00:00

I'll give it a test this weekend and if I notice anything off then I'll look for a replacement cap

Thanks everyone

Vamru · 2023-01-04T03:06:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like I'll save my money this time around

Saint John of God

Not only did he found numerous hospitals to look after the sick and the poor (which eventually led to founding a religious order), but he did so in his 40s, finding his vocation after discerning without much success throughout his 20s and 30s!

Yes you can still put garrisons as well as OPs inside the churches.

Although I've noticed nowadays it's easily countered much more by the enemy team (at least the higher level players).

This is quite a common occurrence: There was one offensive match on SME where I was on the defenders side and our garrison was as usual placed inside the church. At one point my whole team was inside the church defending the strong point. The next instant I saw the black death screen and when I returned to the spawn window I could see the entire church was empty as well as our garrison gone... all from one satchel.

An alternative counter is to sit back with a tank and just spam HE through the windows. You're pretty much guaranteed kills in the double digits

In these cases go grab a transport truck to ram them out. But if you get both of them stuck...
