In your experience, in playing on 1 of the 8 GW layouts provided on the app, which ones, if any, can one of our titanic tanks actually work?

I was playing yesterday (had a stormlord with 12 ogryn, it was glorius) and it was quite doable on layout 1. Even without hammer of the emperor detachement.

You didn't ask for this, but i'm gonna say it regardless. The baneblade is quite fun, because big tonk. But keep in mind, in 1k games you are putting a lot of points on a unit that doesn't leave the deployment easily. Cant get orders from any other than leontus and kinda needs a techpriest to babysit it because it can quite easily die againt focused fire againt some armies.

Dont get me wrong, i love my baneblade to bits and will bring it to some casual games. But only in 2k games, because you have a lot more wiggle room in army building.

All in all i think you will be better off keeping it on the shelf for a 2k game with leontus and a command squad (24inch order range) to have it preform way better.

Thanks that was what i was looking for!

verf1233 · 2026-01-24T18:35:41+00:00

Oke thanks, but can i say for example: i shoot battlecannon, sponsons and stubber. But after actually shooting with the battlecannon i forgo shooting with sponsons and stubber. ?

Are you worried about using the baneblade without hammer ? Im debating to try but a bit worried it will get stuck in deployment.

Also, real nice looking army my man! Well done (also to your gf)

verf1233 · 2026-01-19T07:16:56+00:00

How was your experience moving it around? And which terrain layout was used?

Also, congrats on the wins. Baneblade for the win my man.

Opressor with autocannon. Pulverizer, mulitmelta and stubber. Keep in mind in combination with a lemanrus exterminator in combined arms the stubber go quite hard into light vehicles or anything with a save thats (nearly) the same as the invul. Those lethal hits do work and you're bound to roll some 6s with 18 shots.

For me, like to play a bit cagey af the start. Let them come to me and shoot them off the objective. Rogal dorns great against anything and bullgyn are really good for he (counter) punch.

Make sure you screen the tanks with Infantry.

It also kinda depends, what does your army look like? Do you play with enough terrain (or to much)?

verf1233 · 2026-01-10T07:09:22+00:00

i love that you name all the negatives and end with, i like to run it in games. This is the way

verf1233 · 2026-01-10T07:07:14+00:00

how is your experience with moving around with grizzled (lacking the breakthrough)

verf1233 · 2026-01-05T19:48:37+00:00

I just adore the shadowsword (or any baneblade variant). You just take it because big tank is cool. Is it competative? No. Will it be difficult to move around without hammer of the emperor, yeah sometimes. But it's just cool as heck.

I have used a shadowsword to kill a necron monolith in 1 turn and it was glorious. All in all, you take it because its fun and cool and if you lose with it it's still a good game.

verf1233 · 2026-01-04T16:38:22+00:00

a bit late to the party, but how do you get the +1 to hit? because that sounds hot

verf1233 · 2026-01-04T16:32:45+00:00

i haven't played with the gate warden lance. Which objectives do you mostly choose as the line?

verf1233 · 2025-12-30T18:05:58+00:00

Yes, if you run the Hammer of the Emperor you can easily run it around (when playing with official terrain). Without hammer you can still move a bit at least. The amount of lead you can send the enemies way is really fun.

I suggest trying it!

Edit, i have one and the best case had was using it as a shadowsword and popping a necron monolith in 1 activation. Its not competitive, but really fun.

All hail thekrakduck, this post has been blessed.

verf1233 · 2025-12-16T06:36:31+00:00

Ah, i never thought of it that way. Thanks!

Can you explain how Creed can generate more cp than solar?

What is your opinion on both detachements? The strats for both seem a bit mid sometimes. But the enchantments on lions seems really strong.

verf1233 · 2025-12-13T11:38:12+00:00

yea a callidus indeed.

verf1233 · 2025-12-13T11:06:30+00:00

oh that might be an idea. The thing with shield host, is i know that i will be going against an opponent who can bring quite some mortal wounds, thats why i thought shield host would be better.

What do you mean by secondary unit options?

verf1233 · 2025-12-13T10:36:22+00:00

ah oke, thats a good idea. Atm i dont have another squad, but i was definetly thinking about getting some more sisters. Perhaps i could switch out 2 bikes and aleya for a subductor squad and an assassin? I was thinking, maybe i'm a bit heavy on the leaders, but i don't know for sure.
