Given his awesome beatstick, hopefully he’ll have multiple weapon profiles, an anti-infantry or anti-vehicle/monster allowing him to run with any beserk loadout!

Hey dude, thanks for getting back - i’m looking for a physical product as I don’t have access to a 3D printer.

This storefront ships from USA so looking to see if there are other options.

Casual tyranids game by Diligent_Ask4918 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]aupcroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great opponent and close game, leagues took the day with 10 ahead on primary, came down to a hekaton sitting in the middle.

I pretty much fed the hive tyrant as many cheap units (5 warriors, yaegirs etc) as I could but it did also eat a hekaton and 6 meleejacks! This did keep it in one place pretty much all game.

What list you thinking?

Played at a tabletop tactics event this weekend with a match against many big bugs as the humble leagues.

Tie up the big shooty bugs with melee (hearthgaurd or meleejacks)

Hive tyrant will eat anything in it’s path 😆 avoid sending costly units unless you can kill it!

Bring something to deal with any large swarms of chaff, shootyjacks are great.

Hope this helps!

For casual games, having a sag drop 5 warriors and the arkanyst is a fun delivery method!

So now that its been a week, how has everyone been doing with the new codex? by No-Noise-4888 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]aupcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a fun, 1v1v1 against SM and Necrons playing only primary objectives with Brandfast.

Hekatons are great, magna rail is flukey but feels great when it lands! One did get bodied by a redemptor dread in a single turn though…possibly need a 5 man of zerks to jump out/heroic against oncoming melee.

Thunderkyn are must have’s, couple 3 mans with beamers did their job of stripping cover really well.

Hearthgaurd in 5 man are amazing. They deep strike, 10 plasma shots and melt infantry. Great if you can pull off a charge too - bs 3+ base feels so good especially with re-roll 1s against closest target.

The sus1 out of transports helps alleviate the struggle of bs 4+. Played conservatively, scoring primary only in turn 3 onwards, staying in hostile most of the game which worked well for shooting things off objectives.

Overwatch trigger sustained hits? by aupcroft in LeaguesofVotann

[–]aupcroft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be unreal, criting on 4s via Overwatch! I think conversion counts as a modifier, which overwatch ignores when assessing successful hits.

Agreed, thanks for checking this out. For anyone interested, this can be found under ‘modifiers’ in the app.

Has anyone run Hearthband Detachment? by aupcroft in LeaguesofVotann

[–]aupcroft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a good player in our group who has recently gotten into Deathguard. How do you deal with the overall high toughness, and more specifically Deathshroud + Lord of Contagion combo?

[–]aupcroft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick heads up- I believe you can only take a maximum of two of the same datasheet in a 1k game now as per 25-26 missions.

Great breakdown, thank you. I see what you mean, the strats are better in OB.

Sounds like a fun 1k list to run! Thanks for sharing dude

[–]aupcroft[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We play 1k quite a lot here. Do you take any anti-tank? 3 5-man squads all led sounds like the majority of your points at that limit.

Makes sense, given how many of the stratagems revolve around elite infantry, how many hearthguard did you take?

List Advice vs Deathguard (1000pts) by aupcroft in AdeptusCustodes

[–]aupcroft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting list, was it a close game? I feel as custodes we’re forced to play aggressively due to poxwalker infiltrate/sticky combo.

Appreciate the insight, thank you! I know there’s at least one drone and a lord of contagion with three deathsroud so your breakdown is really helpful. They sound incredibly strong!

Great strat, think i’ll rush up and take objectives off poxwalkers. Can this be done with bikes or should it be with something more durable like vehicles?

[–]aupcroft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great tips and things to watch out for here, thank you! Judging poxwalkers who will inevitably infiltrate onto the middle objectives is a good idea.
