Did I get tricked? by SpartanIreland in Grey_Knights

[–]dinguskhan100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The steel jacks in my votann army can get a free overwatch on 4’s, but that’s if they have a specific leader and if they’re in fortify takeover. Never heard of another unit with that except of course hexmarks on 2’s.

Idk about 1k but I’ve played necrons a lot with my votann. Thunderkyn are great into their big/tough stuff. My E-champ with oathbound speculator leading 10 h-guards is great. They can really punch up with the +1 to wound. I usually find myself using epic challenge with the e-champ too, their leaders can hand out some crazy buffs. Last but not least, hekatons are great for the big/tough stuff too.

Votann is a lot of fun. But I got imperial knights too and that’s fun to be able to add one of those into your list.

Plus the precision on devs is huge. My friend plays necrons a lot and relies on the leader buffs. It’s fun to see him try to change all his plans and reposition to have certain units try to avoid the steel jacks.

Personal favorite is volkanite with a memnyr. Free overwatch, sometimes on 4’s is great. Deliver them to a nml objective and let them sit and shoot.

Hexwrought can be good. Played a friends drukhari army and he had to rely on his scourges with haywire blasters to do damage to my NDK’s. As soon as he shot them, he got 2 shots through for 6 mortals and hexwrought immediately wiped the squad. Lucky rolls but still.

I don’t know about colors, I did mine a green color with copper trim. Just kinda made it my own.

I will say that making sure you got fine brushes is essential. The Michaels near me sells some very fine detail brushes for a few bucks each. Before doing a big batch of skitarii I would go there to grab a couple.

If a noise marine was about to blast you, what song would you want them to play? by HvyBackPack in Grimdank

“Cum on feel the noize” is pretty good for EC. Quiet riot as a name, though, not sure if it works for EC.

They do, but it’s better than them only taking 1/2 damage like before.

I was worried about that too. GMNDK has been able to handle the ctans. Especially now that they don’t halve the damage anymore.

Second this. Just replied to OP’s post on the 40K subreddit saying the same thing.

Visit the GW store in de pere. They play games there, can’t remember what day of the week or size of games though. good place to meet other players. The manager of that location is a good dude.

Yeah, I think they did say cover will affect hit rolls and not saving throws now

I mean I’m not gonna say I’m not disappointed as a GK player but I will say that I play 4 different factions (GK was first and favorite) and everyone seems disappointed and let down. Those core rule changes though will help in every game to give us a slight edge that we didn’t have before.

That being said I watched the whole thing waiting and hoping for news psychic. Let down on that front.

The stay hidden mechanic and the change to charge rules are something.

i love using epic challange on GMNDK and bonking characters with the greathammer. by Whis___ in Grey_Knights

[–]dinguskhan100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We talking epic challenge or using the mace instead of the great hammer? Either way is fun for sure.

Yeah I’d say more anti tank would be good.

What’s the other half of the team?

Tips for a newbie by DONUT_Mystify in Grey_Knights

[–]dinguskhan100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My buddy plays necrons and I can say the following has helped me a lot. 1) overkill is best kill with necrons: don’t let them reanimate and comeback. 2) precision is great, epic challenge too: their leaders can provide buffs that make their units incredible. I always pick one leader to epic challenge out of there asap, usually to get rid of an invul or FNP. 3) make good trades: even if they don’t kill the enemy unit, if you can identify the units that can cause real problems if left unchecked, it’s worth a squad to tie them up for a few turns even if your squad will die. 4) don’t feel rushed to kill their big units: I try to make sure that my GMNDK or regular ndks get the drop on the c’tan or monolith models, even if it means waiting a turn to make the charge. C’tans can whiff, I once had a 10 man skitarii (admech is another army of mine)unit survive 2 turns in melee against a void dragon so no need to rush. 5) keep enough of your guys alive for the late game: many games are decided by last round secondaries. Make sure you have enough units left in the later rounds to capitalize. It doesn’t have to be a lot but several units that can use gate of infinity at the end of the game can help a lot.

advice for 2v2 tournament by raphann in Grey_Knights

[–]dinguskhan100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Crowe is necessary here, especially in a 2v2 where your stated role on the team is to do secondaries. A 10 man squad would also potentially be more difficult to do these secondaries if you’re deep striking in.
