They are just worse bladeguard

i am really looking forward to playing combat missions, planet strike, urban warfare... those books with 5th ed cool missions

i was about it till it had to be Black templars. sad. cool trick just sucks it has to be BT only

I like the list except for the problem that Farsight cannot be taken with Ethereals. I’m not sure what I’d swap out but the Ethereal seems like the most likely to go.

I skipped 9th and I play only on a casual level nowadays. My friends and I are still playing the rules out of the book and only take new points values as we build our lists with the GW app. we mostly ignore the balance patches as we are all playing for fun. 80% of our games end with around 5-15 VP difference. we are fine.

Yeah, it's a strong combo, but we are talking about a 485 point unit with T4 and 3+ armor save with no invulns. And you have to dump strategms into the thing. I feel like it's one of those combos that can very well punch above it's points, but it is a large investment and if the other player knows that- he will wipe them off the board.

To be fair meltas are kinda meh when it comes to wounding anything that isn’t infantry

Taudar were disgusting

I get the spirit of the video but comparing them to killing units that cost significantly less points seems a tad misleading. Yeah, it's a big ass durable brick but it's also a quarter of your army. I would hope it kills 200 point units...

You seems to say that axes are better against terminators but both weapons kills 5 models so it's mostly a draw... i mean if we had to checks all the results you made : -Land raider : Spears win -IK : think your calculation is wrong, there is too many failed saves with the axes, without bonus AP knights will have a 4+ save against you axes, which means it will fail half not 2/3, so the 14.6 becames 7.3 and the 15.4 became 7.7, with 3 damage it became 21.9 and 23.1. And with the aditionnal AP they will fail 2/3 not 5/6 against the axes, so 12.8 became 8.5 ( so 25.6 ) and 13.2 became 8.8 ( so 26.4 ). In short, against IK a small win for spears but not by much. -Against magnus and everything with 4++ and no armour of contempt : axe can shine and wins. -Terminators : well it's a draw, both can kill 5 terminators. ( which is quite bad for a 390 points unit ^^ a nob squad under whaagh with a boss can kill around 6 of them for 275 points ) -Guardsmen and every cheap models : spears win -Space marines : spears win -Against véhicule with T10 save 3+ and amour of comptent or save 2+ without AoC : spears wins, at best axes will do 19.8 damages against 22 for spears. -Against T8 véhicules/monster thing are great for axes. So you got : -5 wins for spears ( land raider and all T10+ véhicule with 2+ save and AoC, IK, guardsmen, space marines, T10 save 3+ with AoC or 2+ without AoC ) -2 wins for axes ( units with T8 and units monster/véhicules with hard invul save ), i'd had also units with -1 damage, so 3 wins. -1 draw ( terminator equivalent ). So yeah... most of the time it's better to go with the spears, T8 units are really rare ( except if you fight grey knights very often ^^ ) and minus 1 damage aren't as common as they used to be, but having like one unit with axes just in case could be useful sometimes. I think they really need to give axes S10 at least to be a really great alternative to spears.

oh, the weaker nightbringer, costier, less resilient with less punch :/ yeah it tanks really well with a farseer but that's 405 points for the beast, which limits a lot what you can do elsewhere :/ and having nothing to fight against mortal wounds ( unlike the nightbringer with it's 5+ FNP and the ability to regain wound every necron turn... ) makes it way to costy for what it bring :/ If GW really thinks the nightbringer is worth 295 points, then the avatar should be at like 280 ^^

Hey an interesting video I would like to see is the Loadouts for the Thunderkyn, yes Graviton is almost always better, but I was wondering how the Ancestral Sentence Strat synergized with the Conversion Beamer

Helbrecht with a maxed crusader squad has like 90 attacks with lethal hits on a 5+. The last eldar player i faced didnt enjoy that

Is tar-pitting it with chaff still an option? I haven't played in forever.

Just found the channel, big fan of the math of the game! For the terminators and infantry, it would have been cool to also include rerolls if they had a character attached. Keep it up my man

Meltas actually get around half damage. Because of the order of operators, the [MELTA X] rule adds damage after you half the damage. So like a brigand dealing d6+4 would be 1d3+4. That being said an avatar with -1 to wound is still a bitch to bring down lol

Two "fun" things I was on the receiving end of in 7th. were tripple Helldrake and a Ravenwing/Thunderwolf spam army.

Time to send Draigo in 😁

oh, "its impossible to kill" IS IT NOW? have you done a video on Ctan? if not you definatly should.

5 Allarus custodians with Guardian Spears in Shield Host that are worth 325 points will kill him in one turn. Use Rendax stance for lethal hits. Use ciritical hits on 5s. Slay the tyrant! But if I wasn't playing Custodes I'd be shitting my pants.

Solution to avatar of khaine: use huge anti big single target units (like acastus knights, cerastus knight atrapos) or snipe the farseer with an assasin(or any precision weapon) and kill the avatar using your anti tank that you have

Takes one Stompa to evaporate the dang thing lol

So what you're saying is throw a load of hormagaunts or termagants at it and rely on exploding 6's etc.

Your brick would only wound gray knight paladins on 4. They would have a shot. Not that paladins are as durable as this but 11 on 11 paladins would have a shot at stopping your resource heavy brick.

in conclusion: throw grots at it and ignore it

I play the assault firestorm with marines as a salamander i usualy have a hestan withm me i use 6 eradicators in a raider with a biologis with the auto 6 on hit or 6 to save enchanment usualy with the rerolls from oath and hestans for meltas and flamers i can kill him in 1 round if im veeeeery lucky(it happend) ooor 2 rounds of shooting with/or overwatch given you have lethal..

Chaos Terminators with Hellbrute assistance and a Sorcerer in Terminator armor. Sorcerer gives an additional AP against him, Hellbrute with dark pact will give Terms sustain and lethal on 5's, Terms with dark pact can reroll all hit rolls, and they fire everything. Hitting on 3's (4's if lightning fast reflexes), crit on 5, then wounding on 6's (with lots of lethal stacked on). With all their shots, that's going to be around 20+ wounds with a save of 3. Avatar will likely fail a little under half....so lets say close to 10 dmg. It has 4ish wounds left. If Terms are in charge range, they charge and do it again but now crit on 6's for sustain and lethal with ap -3 (sorcerer term op). That avatar is freaken dead. I built this terminator block to kill gods and knights. If Khaine somehow survived 1 turn against the Terms, he would have just a couple wounds left. I had fun killing c'tan, ycarne, and once a khaine in one turn in some of my games. Term block is ridiculously good.

Game just suck nowdays, GW uses AI to make rules :/

But thank you for advice interesting way to play by eldar!

I think probably dethwing knights can deal some damage to it because of nice AP and anti monster 4+ with some stratagems to mortal wounds and re-roll to wound

I like it when someone does the crunchy crunch of warhammer for me.

They did the melta so dirty this edition lol. I have more success taking down a land raider with 10 incubi and an archon going ungabunga on it than I have with a squad of retributors carrying a multi-melta each.

Basilisk says hi

A brick of sword brethren are pretty similar. It’s horrible, you’ll want to pull your eyelids out

You forgot helbrecht's auto mortal wounds he does every combat

Do you do chaos space marines?

I was hoping GW would let the sanguinary priest attach to blade guard vets in the new codex but since it dont happen I figures its ok sonce ot might be too op. Seeing this, im feeling like getting it would have been good to have a similar invun and fnp unit too. :/

They are tougher than what you mentioned. If running a BT detachment you can pick a 6+++ army wide rule. Then the LT can take an enhancement that turns it into a 5+++.

Unfortunately the enhancement checks not what Vows are on the unit but your army therefore you can only have one of the enhancements getting their second bullet point.

Even though you can't get the full benefit from both enhancements, go with tbones and spend a cp to get sustained on 6s. They are still plenty killy, and just don't die. Having a term chap lead a unit for the +1 to wound and 4+fnp against mortals makes them even more punchy and impossible to kill since dev wounds are back to doing mortals. You ignore half the damage you take that ignores your great saves.

This unit need new models like the regular terminators ^^

Haven't run the math on this, but I feel like the Great Unclean One is tankier

Can’t take sustained army wide if you want 5up FNP…..

Unfortunately you can't stack the sigs seal and tanhausers bones, to get the full benefit of each enhancement your whole army has to be in said vow, sadly the stratagem only effects 1 unit not the whole army so you don't get the whole benefit. Great video tho dude ,👍

Unfortunately Templar enhancements do not trigger from the unit being in vows like Gladius. The enhancements say when the army is X. That being said I never thought of using an ancient to get them hitting on 2s.

Helbrick + Castellan with Champion of Humanity just pick up DWK and Avatar, Ctan like its candy.

Its actuelly even better against ctan and avatars because their "halve damage rule" happens before adding the +1 damage from sword brethren rule. So your power sword still do 2 damage against ctan and avatar. (Its not the case with -1 damage rules though. So bullgryn will negate the +1 damage from sword brethren for exemple.)

My favorite SM unit in the game.

I thought aggressors with fire discipline was strong…

Sword brethren s Deserve nerf.
