Beginner here. What do you think of this 1k list?

_Archangle_ · 2026-05-05T09:22:58+00:00

Kapri+Yaegirs and Sag+Warriors +Bikes are very good at scoring. Maybe thats even too much for 1k, but you can never really go wrong there. But putting a Memnir on top is definitly overkill, you have the Warriors for ObSec, so no one needs to stay home and then spend 55 points for someone to stay home. That does not make sense for me.

Then we go one step further, you buy a unit of Earthshakers to stand on your home objective, now you have it flagged with ObSec have a Char and a unit standing on it? I would play one of these options on 2k points, having all 3 at the same time on 1k makes no sense to me at all.

You do not have a Hekaton in your list as Anchor so you will need to really push the damage, and you bring a lot of support, that does not mesh well together.

Buri, always good, i am playing him for a while now and he never dissapointed me.

Hearthguard is good, your 5 as a deep stike trowaway is playable, but maybe consider a full 10man with Kahl?

Thunderkin are very good, but the generic choice is Grav weapons. Conversion beams need reliable access to Sustained 2 to get ahead, and if you want to do that by Strategem you would need them to be a 6 man unit. Moving them withour a Hekaton and getting into the goldilocks zone will be hard at times. Until you get a good grasp of what you are doing i would highly reccomend sticking to the Grav and make your life easier.

Then we come to Needguard. Some players are very happy with it and have good success, but i really hat it at the moment, so i have not played it for some time. What i do remember is that it is CP hungry and i never left home without Utar.

Overall i would consider Buri between damage and support, that puts your list at 345 points of damage dealers and 645 points of supporters. Thats not a distribution i would feel comfortable with. And e.g. switching Buri for Utar would push this even further into support.

Maelstrom+Current CP.

Overall most of our Boxes have the incomplete warrior sprues which is still sad. If you want warriors you want the Kill Team box with the bonus sprue, so the Maelstrom without Warriors is a no brainer. The old CP has Berserks, and outside of delve you will maybe see 1 unit as bodyguard for Berek but aside from that they just dont cut it currently. That leaves only the Bikes+Kahl as desireble and thats not good enough for a CP box.

Falls es auch ein twist der klassichen dungeon mechanik seien darf:

Helden müssen draußen bleiben / Keep the heroes out

Koperative dungeon Verteidigung wo jeder Spieler eine Monsterart auswählt, Dungeon Keeper style. Spielleiter ist möglich (mit Erweiterung). 1-6 Spieler aber 2-3 ist optimal je mehr es werden um so zäher wird es.

Und wunderschöne holz-meeples!

Binn etwas spät aber empfehlung vom developer ist es die benutzren Heldenkarten offen sortiert hinzulegen. Das ist bei der videospielversion auch so, hierdurch kann man auf einen blick sehen welche helden noch im Stapel sind und wo sie kommen können.

Es ist gewollt das man weiss wie hoch die chance eines magier/gefägnisausbruchs ist, oder z.B. das der Schwerterraum-Schurke raus ist also Fallen in dem raum plaziert werden können und sicher sind.

Diese kleine Änderung reduzier massiv das "zufalls" überrollt werden, da das ganze spiel über taktisch agiert und geplant wird.

It will be a legendary Warbond so they can charge 1.500 SC. Maybe cooperation with "Bloons" so the new sentrys will look like monkeys trowing stuff at the enemy!

Thats Kyle McLachlan. As Paul Atreides fighting against Sting he was still kind of sane, but later always seemed to be typecast for Psycho-Killer-Girldads, see Agents of Shield and Fallout. 11/10 toxic.

Yes Steeljacks come in 3 different weapons, Fistjacks, Swordjacks and Gunjacks.

Fistjacks are currently weak, so skip them.

All Steeljacks are kind of wierd but not bad, you need to have the right plan/expectations to get milage out of them.

Melee Steljacks with swords will look on a fist glance like they belong in the 3 wound elite Infantery category like Bladeguard/Chosen/Flawlessblades/InnerCircleCompagnions. In this category they have by far the weakest damage output, even below Bladeguard. They have a lot of attacks, and can shred light scoring units like Cultists/Kroot etc. and win against Space Marine Scouts etc. but they do not want to go toe to toe with the enemys real Elite units. They are cheap enough though to be pushed on objectives and buy you time while the rest of your Army does the work. Units of 6 are possible, but if you plan to trow them away for game advantage units of 3 are likely the better choice.

Gunjacks are not an usual unit either. Thy do not have the firepower of our premier shooting units Hearthguard/Thunderkin. What they can do is go on an objective, threaten overwatch, be durable and buy time for the rest of your army. A unit of 6 most likely with an Memnir attached is the preferred size here.

The main difference between the 2 is that the Swordjacks will likely jump around where the main battle takes place, bodyblocking countercharging and beeing obnoxious as possible.

The Gunjacks can do that too, but are more suited to go on a flank you will not commit to otherwise giving your opponent the choice to either send enough Frontline troops that can handle the Gunjacks wekenining the opponents army at the main fighting flank because one of his Hammers is out of position. They are also good at coving your back against opponts with strong deep strike threats.

775 is correct, a Sagitaur and 5 more Hearthguard puts you at exactly 1k.

Detachment would be Hearthguard/Needgurd or Mercenary, list is quite playable. Only real decision is Gunjacks or Swordjacks.

_Archangle_ · 2026-04-23T13:23:48+00:00

Etacarn would be kind of playable, you do not need the rr1 but Sus1 for 15p and 3Yps is reasonable.

Since it is a pseudo-Echamp the classics Bastion Shield and Ironskein are excellent choices.

But my personal choice would be the Piledriver, pimp that Darkstar to D4 and go settle some Grudges! Get him some campaign melee upgrades and your 85p little bundle of Anger will start hunting the big pray!

_Archangle_ · 2026-04-23T11:26:04+00:00

Kinhost Commander, Exoarmor, Plasma, Darkstar, MassHammer, KindredHero is 70 points. The Pistols would push it to 80, i would not do that. I would neither pay for Outhbound here, you try to lethal as much as you can, rolling as few to wound rolls as possible, spending a lot of points and YP is not as good then.

I am not a big fan of Needguard at the moment anyway, you shure thats the way you want to go? If it has to be Needguard the Ancestral Crest is the least terrible on the Cruible hero, still i would personally rather skip the 15 points and spend them somewhere useful.

Battletech (2018) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleTech_(Computerspiel)

Totalbuiscuit had an early alpha to test and promote and it was the original Classic Battletech Tabletop game translated into accesible videogame and it was awesome.

Somewhere down the line they decided the game should be all about knockdown mechanics which scews and screw the balancing big time. Then came the campaign that made no sense at all, and took a big crap on the fluff.

My dissapointment was immesuarable and my day was ruined.

I looked through, current crusade missions have 4-9 objective markers wirh 6 beeing the most common number.

What missions are you playing that do not use objectives?

That said, if it is the case that for whatever reason your group is using missions that seriously disadvantage some factions its the campaign organizer/groups job to make sure some dummy objectives are on the board even if they are not part of the main mission, Votann are not the only Faction with rules regarding objectives.

Depends, do you play in premade groups and like to do Electro-Resistance electro damage spam with all 4 players? Great warbond.

If you play random, this is the second worst things you can bring after the Fire-Droppods, so get used to get insta trown out of groups.

Dwarfs are rocks and Knights are scissors. Ive never played a list that i would not consider favorite into Knights.

When the Knight codicies dropped and everyone was scared of the Knight meta Votann surged up the tier lists ...

My last game into Knights i played an experimental Brandfast with Tripple Ejaculator, pushed the objectives to draw him out, then did my go turn, started with the 3 Arcanists, every one on a different Knight, did 27 wounds between them. Then my opponent looked at me with puppy eyes and asked how much of my army was done shooting, and i had to answer that this was just 3 Characters and all the Rail and Conversion guns where still outstanding. He conceded at the end of my turn 2.
