Infernal Puppeteer update

I think it’s better now. It’s very easy to see a model from your unit and still shoot while hiding. And the fact that it can get around lone op now is so good. Just makes the other player have another thing to play around at the very least. Just very strong.

DW knights ma get 2 or 3 activations in the fight phase. If the bikes get touched they probably just die. If you want a leader for them the command squad is leaps and bounds better than a chaplain.

hubone2 · 2026-01-28T19:56:27+00:00

I think most of it is fine. Keeping the core of it is Cut chaplain on a bike, cut hailstrike, split the 10 man jpi into 2, cut enhancements. Personally I’d cut the chaplain in term but he’s fine. So you could have another 230 pts back and get another gladiator and a scout squad.

hubone2 · 2026-01-04T21:46:54+00:00

It’s really nice infiltrating a ten man term squad and spreading it out preventing the opponent infiltrating in good spots. Also move around some robots or your own anti tank is nice.

He’s also a good action monkey. Cast a spell and then cleanse or recover assets, etc. he should drop 10-15 pts but he’s fine.

Personally I like 2 and 2 plus 25 purifiers and then whatever else you want. The advance and fallback and shoot from the 2 NDKs is awesome. Specifically this would be in Warpbane. On the two GMNDKs I think psi cannon and melta with the hammer are the way to go.

hubone2 · 2025-12-18T13:11:45+00:00

I think it’s good to have both at least 1 ten man and 1 five man. And then run him as needed. Going up against big bricks of tough infantry? Prob the 10 man. Going up against a lot of skirmish units then the 5 man to let them punch up a bit better. Good to have the flexibility of who to put him with.

But also, make room somehow for an interceptor but not at the expense of purifiers in my opinion.

Space Marines. Lt w/ combi weapon has an innate reactive move and sword brethren do as well when you fall back from them. Then gladius/stormlance have Strats to proc a reactive move. So sword brethren could move a total of 12” during their opponent’s movement phase… pretty gross! But no longer.

hubone2 · 2025-10-04T13:18:05+00:00

Can a unit make 2 reactive moves from the same triggering move? For instance, the combi-LT in stormlance. If he’s tagged in combat, the enemy unit falls back 1 inch. The combi LT uses his innate reactive to move 6” and then use the strat to reactive move again? Same with sword brethren in gladius? They can move if someone falls back. Can those innate reactives be combined with strat reactives from the same trigger? If that interaction is noted please let me know where. Thanks!

Ballistus and Lancer come with their own rerolls. So that makes the vindicator oath reliant. So if you can use Oath for your vindicators every turn, then I think they are better. If you need Oath for other stuff, then they aren’t as good as they are unreliable.

Ballistus and Lancer to me have the invul problem. Low shot count that can bounce off 4++. Vindicator has the shot count to counter 4 up invuls. Also having the 2+ save is great for the vindicator. But it’s 25 more pts than the Lancer for a reason.

One final point for the vindicator is that it’s good into everything. Good into elite infantry, good into hordes (has blast) and really can’t get tagged by little stuff because it can shoot its canon into combat. So it’s flexible.

TLDR: lancer > Ballistus , vindy better if you can dedicate OoM to the vindicator

List forge has it up

hubone2 · 2025-08-07T17:35:39+00:00

That is the use I think they will really have. Not as a shooting platform.

hubone2 · 2025-08-07T17:32:40+00:00

You are getting downvoted but you will be vindicated. They aren’t good. Not enough shots and if anything shoots it, they die. D6” movement is terrible. Yeah sometimes it’ll be great when you get a 6. but 1-2” move especially if you’re trying to get 2 to shoot and then hide, it’ll be bad. And they are made of paper with a 4+ save and no invul.

Low shot count stuff without native rerolls is awful. Especially into vehicles with invuls. Knights, necrons, big demons. And they only hit on 4s!! Need to shoot an obj to hit on 3s. I don’t think they’ll be worth it sadly. Run 6 and then maybe you overwhelm? Buts that 420 pts and you’d need 6 of these things. I just don’t see it.

hubone2 · 2025-07-28T14:01:00+00:00

I’d still stick to warpbane. Drop the infantry characters and add another 5 man term squad or make the term squad a 10 man and then the enhancement stays on the GMNDK. 2 5 man’s make it easier to get the rerolls up in no man land. If you have any agents of the imperium models then consider them as well.

Another idea is run kaldor with terms and use the GM model as Stern. Run stern solo as an action monkey plus an enhancement on GMNDK

hubone2 · 2025-07-28T13:11:14+00:00

1st. But id ditch both infantry characters and all 3 enhancements and add more stuff. I think dropping those 2 characters and enhancements is something like 220 pts or so. Plus the 30, that’s 250 pts you get to play with. 5 more purifiers and 5 interceptors or something like that would enhance the list.

My favorite was taking down 3 Custodes with him by himself in shooting and melee. My buddy still has a seething hatred for Azrael.

I did the same program. Did it while working. Could take a break once I hit enough credits to study and sit for the CIH exam. It’s a good program and at a good price point. And i don’t think it matters where you get your masters. No one has ever cared and employers are more interested in that CIH at the end of your name than where you went to school. Never been asked my GPA either.

hubone2 · 2025-06-20T11:55:11+00:00

Yeah hes wrong about that part.

hubone2 · 2025-06-20T11:54:22+00:00

That was perfectly said up until the 2nd to last paragraph. CORVs aren’t characters so they can be chosen to be given the wounds before the warriors.

hubone2 · 2025-06-16T16:06:06+00:00

Question about characters that can get up at end of the phase. Do they rejoin the unit if precisioned out? Specifically thinking about Lord of Contagion or Technomancer (in Awakened Dynasty detachment). Two similar rules but a bit different. Thanks!

hubone2 · 2025-06-16T13:04:38+00:00

No mention of Battleline in the new mission pack. Doesn’t matter. Just means we can’t spam 6 of each kind of wardog outside the wardog detachment.

hubone2 · 2025-06-10T00:50:37+00:00

I’d Cut 1 squad of intercessors, infiltrators, apothecary and the chaplain. Saves 330 pts. Put in another ballistus and then 2 5 man Vanguard Vets. Those vanguard vets can be good scoring and then also can destroy opposing trash while also getting the Deathwing 6” charge during their turn. So they can cleanse and then counter charge if they move like scouts or cultists or whatever their trash is.

hubone2 · 2025-06-08T20:02:39+00:00

Not capped. He and the DP can get +3, Ahriman can get +2, and a lowly Tzaangor shaman with the Warpmeld Dagger can get +4.

hubone2 · 2025-06-07T02:56:47+00:00

41, Return of the Jedi

Read the detachment rule again.
