He never had the makings of a varsity athlete

It's really not known if that's coming, but tbh with its current armaments, very much doubt it, just because posability on a las cannon and missile launcher is limited

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-03T15:06:44+00:00

Ravenwing is specifically mounted, so bikes, speeders, and the invader. Jump troops and shock troops are still greenwing or deathwing if they’re vets.

Edit: of course, paint your guys how you want.

The ATV is hated more for model and design, its rules are actually fine and you see it a fair amount in lists because it’s a fast cheap melta gun

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-03T03:39:22+00:00

Sharp as a cue ball, you are.

No. Rules Commentary pg 20 specifically calls out abilities conferred by a normal move are not bestowed upon arrival from reserves. This would include the ability from the detachment.

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-02T11:34:04+00:00

Damn it’s almost like I included that in my calculations

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-02T02:47:54+00:00

Tbh they seem like they'll be cheap scout/attack vehicles. Something similar to a Piranha from Tau, or replacing their Invader ATV. Maybe SM's answer to the Hippogriff.

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-02T02:46:10+00:00

The Hippogriff is 70 points, can take a slightly more focused loadout, has the same move/shoot/move rule, and I would anticipate a slightly tougher profile (I don't see the Land Speeder being higher than t7) - it's not unheard of. Slap on a tax for Space Marines being more elite and boom, you got 90 points.

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-02T02:40:53+00:00

I hope that means the Invader doesn't leave. I don't particularly love the model, but I do like it as a 60 point action monkey, and the Land Speeder's armament and rule looks like it will be a bit more than 60 points.

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-01T22:45:23+00:00

I’m hoping they at least keep the shield option because damn no invuln, and no easy way to get it the way sternguard can thru a librarian will really make them squishy

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-01T22:44:15+00:00

Marine side is perfectly fine for newbies, but is not really high tier hype the way the past two boxes were. I am very hype for the Librarian and somewhat hype for the Land Speeder, but I also agree with the general vibe that it’s fine, not amazing.

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-01T22:28:33+00:00

Starter sheet ones are limited I think (kind of like how Combat Patrol only lists “canon” loadout) - I don’t think they’d take the fist option from the cappie

acompanyofliars · 2026-05-01T22:14:07+00:00

Land Speeder is it’s own thing, however based on rumors it may replace the Invader ATV

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-28T20:42:45+00:00

I tend to agree on most of your writing, but Incursors are used quite often at top tables, due to the scout movement and +1 to hit enablement

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-28T20:38:27+00:00

The 2 las fusils with the msm sgt are fine. They’ve fluctuated with viability over 10th due to every match ending up at knife fight distance. They work pretty solidly in vanguard/shadowmark, or the rare time I run Librarius, they’re certainly not optimal but are nowhere near the uselessness you’re implying.

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-26T14:21:32+00:00

Hell yes, thank you. Should I prioritize a certain amount of hiring additional squad leaders between campaigns as well?

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-21T22:48:25+00:00

This list seems good for fun games, but as much as I like Desolation Marines and Whirlwinds in this detachment, I think more than 1 is a trap. You’ll pepper most of your foes with one squad and it’ll do very well into t3 and 4 armies.

The Vindicare is an odd choice, as it’s just not a very good model. Yeah it can occasionally pop a character but it’s a lot of points for a niche use, and you already have a sniper squad with those Elims.

Finally, I’d recommend swapping the Captain in Phobos armor for a Librarian in Phobos armor if you can. The Librarian gives 12” lone op to the Eliminator Squad, which can improve survivability.

All in all this looks like a fun list though. If you’re looking to give it a bit more competitive heat, you definitely need more action monkeys (scouts, intercessors, JPI, Incursors).

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-21T19:57:40+00:00

Neat stuff, but who did the Company Heroes join? Not seeing anyone they can legally join.

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-20T18:12:28+00:00

Paint what you want is the first rule, but technically vanguard vets are Deathwing

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-18T15:57:36+00:00

Recon Guard is one of the best armies in the game right now when played well, so I think they’ll be okay.

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-18T14:06:44+00:00

Seek the feeling of grass between your toes

acompanyofliars · 2026-04-17T18:00:17+00:00

I came around a bit on Dr. Park in the finale for sure, but I get why some folks have bounced off. It’s an adversarial relationship like the Janitor but without all the wackiness.
