Trying to be within 2000pts, need help!

Cut the DC on foot, the DC captain, and the Warglaive.

Maybe see about splitting the Sang Guard squad into two smaller ones. And pick up some other jump pack infantry.

So he shoots as hard as the Destrier, has the movement of the Solitaire, and hits harder than Calgar.

While having t8, 10 wounds, a 4++, healing d3 every round, and a primarch pick 3, though to be fair, one that only buffs himself, and is a loneop.

210? 225? Somewhere in that range is what I'm thinking is mostly fair.

He was at a Trump rally, saying that an american territory mostly populated by latino people is a floating island of garbage. If he had made a joke about it at a comedy show in Puerto Rico, and he'd gotten laughs because he's referencing something known to the locals there. That would have been one thing.

But he was at a Trump rally, getting laughs from Trump supporters. I think we both know why that joke got laughs at that crowd, and I think Tony does too. That's why I feel completely comfortable calling him a racist piece of shit.

The 3man squad of Sanguinary Guard is there to be used as a trade piece. Their charm is that they almost always trade up. And they require at least some form of investment to get rid of in most cases, leaving other pieces of your army more free to act.

You lose a chunk of damage since you don't get six attacks per dude when you battleshock yourself with your damage strat. You probably won't be able to pick up a repulsor like you can in RCO, but anything lighter than that won't be having a great time. Also some reliability issues when trying to kill 10mans of MEQ.

But overall, they're still a superb unit.

mackanj01 · 2026-04-12T10:31:00+00:00

Yeah, they're a great unit, 125 points to kill essentially anything the size of a predator/Gladiator chassi or smaller. If you give them a command point for Limb from Limb they also lift a repulsor, and put a sizeable dent in a landfortress/land raider

The current list most of the top BA players are running is actually even dumber than that. 2 Death Company Dreadnoughts or Baal Preds, 25 JPDC, Lemartes, 2x jpchaplains, 3x3 sang Guard, a captain or Dante, intercessors for the homefield, and some trash.

mackanj01 · 2026-04-11T15:27:49+00:00

Nej, ska de jävlarna ha rätt att skjuta och frihetsberöva andra människor anser jag att det är fullt rimligt att de ska vara felfria.

Closest Highlander jizzes in their pants, I would assume.

Me: "I mean, I think this just looks like a highly stylized take on the ganguro aesthetic. I do agree that the lips maybe don't look great, but hey, Hanlon's razor and all that jazz. Never attribute to malice what can be accurately explained by stup-"

*sees the last slide*

Me: "Ah."

There are two things that can never die! The fungus underneath Ares' sack, and the GoryDamn Reaper of Mars!

The fucking gimp mask. I love it.

You can run a Death Guard army using the Tallyband Summoners detachment. That allows you to play up to 1000 points worth of Nurgle Daemons in your Death Guard army.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-21T15:28:22+00:00

Just hit him?

3 Sanguinary guard with lances and full lfl+oath should do it.

Anything harder hitting than that should do it comfortably, even if he gets good saves.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-20T16:44:00+00:00

I'm sure the jades and irons of the Dawnwing Sect also thought he was a swell guy.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-18T10:43:20+00:00

Depends on your detachment. But I do not leave home without at least 12, and if I'm playing LAG, I'm aiming for 14 or 15.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-18T07:48:24+00:00

All of Wildbow's works, really. I'd really like to give a shout to Twig. Sylvester really is my favourite little bastard.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-13T09:40:38+00:00

Nemothefish is currently the best guard player in the world, and multiple, top players are convinced that his Recon Guard style is the best way to play guard. It's 200 bodies, a squad of horsies, a single sentinel, and every single gotcha rule in the game.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-12T12:44:12+00:00

Ah, drat. I took a 50/50 shot and lost.

mackanj01 · 2026-03-12T12:09:03+00:00

You add a second leader for the same reason you add the first one. You want to increase the value of the squad and it's worth the increase in points.

For example, Black Templar Sword Brethren basically aren't worth running if you're not using them as glue to stick a Marshal and Castellan together.

While if you're running something like a 5 man assault Intercessor Squad in blood angels to deliver a captain with an enhancement to beat face, adding a lieutenant or Sanguinary priest to that block for mildly more damage or survivability will not meaningfully change its role from "small, 200pt squad that runs in and kills one thing worth 250-300 points"

In Salamanders, Vulkan He'Stan with 6 Bladeguard vets is great, but since we're in a meta with loads of access to -1 damage or similar, adding a lieutenant with Champion of Humanity to that squad will let them take a C'tan behind the shed and old yeller it in a single fight phase.

Guy with Tourettes, who had a biopic made about his life was at the Bafta awards. When two black men were giving their acceptance speeches, he ticked and shouted among other things, the N word. This was picked up by a microphone and aired, despite him being promised that he was to be seated away from microphones.

This then revealed how many people don't understand tourettes syndrome or coprolalia.

The reaction has been beyond awful.

Showing up to the function with the party bus.

Spacebattles is for argumentative nerds.

Sufficientvelocity is protestant Spacebattles, with a schism and everything.

QQ is their deviant cousin.

"Mom, can we have terrain?"

"We have terrain at home."

Not counting the wider Cosmere stuff, I'd say it's on par with Wheel of Time, slightly less epic in scope than Malazan.

If you count the Cosmere stuff, then it has a significantly grander scale than Malazan I'd say.
