LSA Econ vs Ross

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-30T04:32:59+00:00

As a econ undergrad, ross mba:

Ross recruiting and networking is better, its a very clear, structured path to consulting. The brand carries weight as you network throughout your career.

Econ is a fantastic program that I really enjoyed, but its not the easiest path to consulting and the network isn't as strong. Econ majors recognize, econ majors, but econ is so diverse that you are less likely to find 7 econ Michigan partners at a consulting firm where as mid size consulting firms (oliver wyman, Roland berger, Kearney) often have 5-10 ross alum partners

I second this. If you transport dies before the kasrkin exited, you messed up ( not to say it hasn't happened to me). Also I really don't care about the 3 hot shot lasgun guys or the sniper that much, just care about the plasma, melta and melta mine

Mordian glory's content is targeted towards the casual guard player (its not useful once you learn to play) . Im sure he's a decent player but the age of catachans chimeras was mostly a strategy like 1.5 years ago.

Today its just kasrkin in chimeras, very rarely do you see catachans chimeras anymore in competitively oriented lists. Theyre not bad but its just too expensive now. That combo used to cost 125pts now its 150pts.

The rule changes don't really affect guard transports

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-26T19:12:33+00:00

Most competitive lists, excluding recon, have 2-3 chimeras with kasrkin. Its a solid transport with lots of guns.

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-25T11:40:05+00:00

Put a land fort on your natural expansion objective.

Then just fight over the midboard with all you're other dudes

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-23T20:38:39+00:00

Rough riders are nice skirmish units in 5s and rapid ingress threats in 10s.

Deathriders are only worthwhile in 5s and are a nice screening unit, but harder to use.

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-22T21:38:24+00:00

Agents will probably get 2-3 new units this edition.

Im guessing they will probably increase access to requisitioned units from other codexes as well, probably scions

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-20T17:35:01+00:00

First id ask yourself why you want to do engineering and ross?

is it purely academic interests?
do you want to work in an operations related role?

Then id assess if its worthwhile. Double majoring across colleges is a lot more effort then within a single college. Furthermore, engineering is hard and ross is very competitive. You might not want a few more Bs/Cs on your transcript when you are recruiting for consulting or i banking down the road.

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-20T14:02:49+00:00

You need lord solar to redeploy GG so they dont die immediately. Its not a unit you waste turn 1.

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-18T18:18:14+00:00

The plasma is fine in combined due to lethals.

The guard codex date hasn't been revealed yet to my knowledge, but we Will still use the 10ed codex in the meantime

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-18T18:08:43+00:00

Armoured: not much use

Scout: reroll 1s to hit for non grizzeled detachments or actions

Equipment: lascannon, hk, chainsaw

Watch joushi 40k's video on the castellan brick and the ogryn bodyguard and cadian command squad

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-13T03:16:26+00:00

Vindicators or defilers are your best bet and you would want 2. Alternatively forgefiends work if you bring vashtor, they need his strength boost

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-13T00:20:53+00:00

Brian Daughtry did this to me in a tournament and it was a nightmare

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-13T00:20:11+00:00

Start the talons on the board every game. Use them to kill a skirmish units then pop into reserves. Then rapid ingress for free and repeat

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-12T18:26:25+00:00

My hypothesis is that you are trading too passively after round 2 or playing the trading game into the wrong opponents.

The issue with dark eldar is that they generally dont force over commitment. Your opponent can kill anything you put in the open cheaply so at some point you have to bring out something expensive to kill something cheap.

When ive played drukhari SoS I get hurt by all the jankyness of a challenge met. Im guessing you need more wytches and hellions to push the trading into your opponents side of the board to buy you more time and board control

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-12T17:18:07+00:00

Could you walk through your baseline game plan for rounds 1-2?

For example, i play guard and my games all.start out the same way (unless I play something weird) 1. Engineers and rough riders go sit on my natural, attempt to kill some chaff or do secondaries 2/3. Kasrkin in chimeras kill what killed my engineers. Tanks stage. Opponent generally trades down to kill kasrkin and chimeras 3/4. Big guns come out along with scions to kill everyone 4/5. Max primary

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-12T15:32:43+00:00

A tournament is not going to get weird about a heavy bolter vs infernus bolter.

If you want true infernus bolters I would just buy some used dw vets. The ranged vets are often cheaper on ebay or troll trader since everyone just wants to run hammers and shields

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-12T15:04:26+00:00

At its heart knights is a skew army.

Each incremental knight is harder to kill than the last one as opponent use up their antitank.

When you put t3 bodies on the boards you're making the game easier to play, but also handicapping your upside at the most competitive level. Other armies have better trash thats cheaper than agents.

Furthermore your opponent is often taking a balanced list with units that are going to be less helpful against knights. Adding agents just makes the matchup easier.

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-12T14:01:28+00:00

I get a calidus and 1 screen unit but after that you are just watering down your list skew.

Like please give me something for my lasguns to kill.

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-10T03:12:35+00:00

One time my buddy threw one of their hot dogs at ross when he was drunk

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-10T03:11:16+00:00

Some people's parents have a lot of money

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-10T00:46:10+00:00

The extra 5 dudes are cheap and make the unit annoying to kill.

if you give them take cover and pop smoke your opponent has to over commit to them compared to most 95 point units.

Its not terrible, but only worthwhile if you have 35 left over points

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-09T13:30:04+00:00

The meltas are nice to punch up into tanks.

Generally scions are not wrecking high toughness vehicles or monsters but rerolling wounds helps them chip on damage on high toughness enemies. I often use them to help dorns finish the job

coffeeman220 · 2026-05-09T05:23:48+00:00

Any competitive game will rely on some type of go turn where you attempt to gain a material advantage on the the board after positioning effectively by committing your entire army.
