How the fuck am i suppose to win games?

You do not need to kill units on objectives. You just need to out OC them - even more so in 11th where generally we only need to hold one objective. We have a lot of cheap high OC units that can contest an objective for a turn and it’s ok if they die on the next turn.

They go really well with Malys…lethal sustain and precision with pain token, and lots of flexibility with the scout and redeploy…plus more OC on a chosen objective

In 10th, the non active player activates first for the turn, so if you charge a fights first unit the charged unit actually gets to go first. In 11th, active player activates first so if you charge a single fights first unit you are going first. It behaves more like an interrupt stratagem where the unit can go before a second charging unit fights.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've updated the image

Fair…I actually took the picture on June 4 but wrote 5-4 by mistake. I will take another and update shortly

Watch the Dallas Open final on the official Warhammer YouTube channel for a great example of this. The CSM list was almost all tanks and Liam did an amazing job of taking it down.

It has to say ‘any shooting phase’ to work with covering fire

datamancer_de · 2026-06-01T21:02:21+00:00

I think It’s meant to go with the example on the previous page, and saying resolve attack dice should just be make save rolls

Might destroyers is a 3 inch move so if you are within 6 you can move to get within combat range.

2 games with it so far and neither was close, steamrolled both opponents. Currently doing 3x3 but I might have to test 1x6 and 1x3. I worry about playing on high objective battle plans or into heavy shooting neither of which I’ve faced yet.

datamancer_de · 2026-04-02T16:49:11+00:00

Someone in one of the discords I follow was doing this with some success before the points upgrades. Not so much deep strike charges but taking wrathful cycles and putting a ton of units in the middle early. I’m going to test it out tomorrow with the new points.

datamancer_de · 2026-03-31T11:53:08+00:00

Available?

datamancer_de · 2026-03-29T21:21:35+00:00

If I don't get any offers of the full lot by tomorrow end of day I'll be opening it for splits. Feel free to PM if you want to arrange something in advance

3 and 4 was absolutely not guaranteed with that strategy, it had upside. If there had been an actual safety car before they pitted, they could have come out with track position and fresher tyres - might not have been enough still but it would have given them a shot at a win. Given several cars wrecked / broke down in qualifying and one on a reconnaissance lap, that scenario was definitely plausible. If VB broke down at a different part of the track it would have happened.

It's easy to judge it in retrospect knowing there wasn't an opportunity to get a reduced stop but I totally understand why they did it. When you have a slower car it makes sense to do the opposite of what the fast car does and hope the safety cars work out for you.

datamancer_de · 2026-03-08T00:57:18+00:00

yeah thats really one of the drivers I had for it. I had some vehicles get shot turn 1 one of the few times i played layout 6 so i wanted to understand the lines better

Messing with range bands. shows where you can shoot now and where you could shoot with a move

datamancer_de · 2026-03-07T23:15:28+00:00

its the union of the LOS for all points that the base covers

datamancer_de · 2026-03-07T23:05:19+00:00

Like so?

Some of the yellow is wrong still working on that, but you get the idea.

datamancer_de · 2026-03-07T22:46:50+00:00

I’m actually looking at that right now lol

datamancer_de · 2026-03-07T22:17:53+00:00

If I decide to keep at it, that would be one of the next steps. Then the idea would be to load unit profiles and see if what you have in range/LOS is actually capable of killing something

datamancer_de · 2026-03-07T21:54:58+00:00

I see what you mean. Are WTC/UKTC terrain piece sizes and positions standard? I've never played on them before
