I really wish Lord Solar were a generic pick, not a named character. Just like, "Lord-General" or something like that. The rules for him are basically exactly what you want in Guard with the addition of being not-totally useless in an actual fight. It's easy to see why he's taken all the time. It's just... kinda crappy that he's a named character. And I mean, as evidenced by the bazillion Lord Solar proxies people have made, it's clear people can have some real fun with the concept of 'Guard top dog' but aren't necessarily enthused about running This One Specific Guy. You could even maintain the Epic Hero tag since this would, presumably, be the very top of your regiment's command structure. Kinda like how in GSC the Patriarch is an Epic Hero despite being not unique in the galaxy or anything. Idk. One of the few models I can genuinely say "I absolutely love the rules for them, absolutely love the idea of running a moderately smashy Guard character... absolutely hate This Dude though."

It's funny, years ago Guard could be a fun example of "special characters stay on the shelf", where they all just cost too much, had too weak of stats, and even the nameless Officers were just going to be barebones, underneath multiple Tank Commanders. When Guard FINALLY got the Lord Castellan model, I wanted to do a dance! Finally, a customizable Officer HQ, and it even looked cool...and now it stays on the shelf, even with free war gear. Sure, you rarely take Officers for their war gear; they've been mostly barebones for years, bur it's funny that now, finally, the named characters have gotten to the point that their special abilities, and definitely their cost, has made them basically auto-include, where they used to be unplayable, back in Old Creed's, Kell's, and Pask's days. I am happy to see Leontus, and Creed, relatively often, but I still remember times when that woyld have seemed impossible. 😊 I also think its going to be odd when Guard finally gets their book. As is, they can make their detachment work, and they already don't really depend on their Relics much, but what focuses will they give us? How will they divvy up Stratagems, and what other special features will the other detachments offer? This one already works okay with infantry, tanks, and artillery, even mixed together, so I wonder what will happen when other detachments strip some of this away, in an effort to distill a different play style? Also wonder if one will somehow work in a way that doesn't incentivize Leontus, Creed, and the Platoon CS, to the degree they currently stomp around?

What a sad state of affairs that guard has been reduced to spamming the same 4 units (bullgryn, kaskrin, manticores, tank commanders) with solar and creed. There's so much variety to be had, like mass infantry with artillery, or mechanised guard, or armoured companies with sentinels and yet all the tournament lists are just the same blandness rehashed in difference amounts. At least the scion list looked interesting, glad it did well.

Am I wrong in thinking that Guard don't really have any answers against Orks? The artillery is definitely threatening, but it seems like once Orks get in, there isn't really much Guard can do. Too tough and numerous to take out with infantry and even the best of Guard melee isn't beating Orks.
@Majere613
@Majere613 8 ай бұрын
It depends on the lists, but typically you'd see the Guard using the sheer size of Ork mobs against them. Use Basilisks to slow the mobs at the front and make it hard for the horde to advance, then chuck a single disposable unit of infantry in the way (ideally flamer Catachans) to get clobbered and buy another turn of shooting. Those lists with three big artillery pieces in will typically cripple a 20-strong mob of Boyz in a turn.

Bum rush specialized vehicles into the mid field so they can get destroyed in melee and lose the ability to shoot blast weapons? Guard are squishy and rely on interarmy cohesion and support. Our army aren't space marines and are the opposite of elites. They suck in melee and you lost already if that happens across the board. So please tell this krieg player mr.

My guy. I AM a guard player. I rock Scions and Kasrkin as part of an Inquisition door kicker force in casual games. I bring Valkyries despite knowing they cost the same as a Russ but have less than a Heavy weapon squad’s worth of firepower. I run Dorns because I like to joke “have you seen the size of doors in the 41st millennium?” I understand *exactly* how guard is meant to work right now. I don’t like it, because that’s not how I’d like to play my army. Look at Guard regiments like the Elysian Drop Troops, the Harakoni Warhawks, the Cadian 101st Airborne. Not to mention the Scions or Kasrkin *regiments* who operate in their own formations. I want to play that. Not whatever the “Combined Regiment” is supposed to represent. Look at the lists in the video. Without fail, there’s Lord Solar, Creed, at least 2 Manticores, and other sundry artillery. It’s formulaic, because there’s exactly one way to play encouraged by the detachment rules. That’s what I’m not happy about. I get it, you like your artillery and human wave tactics. That’s Guard, 100%. But Guard also encompasses a bunch of other ways of waging war in the 41st millennium, rather than being reduced to one note.

@reidperez5944
@reidperez5944 8 ай бұрын
It depends. Honestly the meta has changed since the new Tau coded has different detachments. If you are playing a tau player before the slate update you want to get to the mid board as fast as possible. Avoid bringing lots of tanks that have to be exposed to fire. Tau rail guns will shred you so it’s better to either hide them until you can use them safely, or go for quantity on the vehicles over OP stats. This is because from turn 3 and onward before the update tau get those sustained hits and will shred your squish. If you can get to the mid board, force some devilish into melee USING BULLGRYNS. SIDE NOT BULLGRYNS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND THEY DO NOT GO DOWN EASY. Rush bullgryns up the mid board. Use cover and LOS to keep them covered as best you can and throw them at tau. Essentially your goal is to cut down as many as you can before they get those sustained hits. ALSO before the dataslate update, most crisis suits are actually mid at melee and can lose to bullgryns lol. However the new tau codex adds new detatchments that change the game. For example farsights new arm detatchment is the opposite of patient hunter. They get sustained hits UNTIL the end of turn 3. If you fight an army like that you can expect them to rush down. So proper positioning, and more Defensive field of fire playstyle to hold back the fish horde. Finally, don’t forget strategic reserves is genuinely your best friend. Turn 3 and on you can come anywhere on the board within 6 in of board edge. I like to save a unit that can melee in reserve sometime if I know that they will be shot to death if I try to move em up the board early because I can slip them behind tau lines and wreck havoc

Matching weapons to targets is important. Bolters, grenade and missile launchers' frag profiles and plasma cannons rip apart infantry, while lascannons, hunter-killer missiles, demolisher cannons and laser destroyers blow up vehicles. Middling weapons like master-crafted power swords and heavy bolters are great for fighting marines, but often they're overkill for killing guardsmen and struggle to do anything meaningful to tanks. 9/10 times, marines will be outnumbered by guard. They're good at being everywhere at once; you'll be good at concentrating your forces in a specific area. You only need to hold more objectives than your opponent, and the best way to do that is to shoot them off their points. Lasguns shouldn't do much to your soldiers, but the heavy bolters on practically every vehicle is another story. I'd recommend some Eliminators and a Whirlwind or two; guard is a bit comfy not worrying about counter-artillery and they're decently dependant on their officers' orders.

Try to force them to burn cp in order to prevent this. ALSO YOU DONT HAVE TO KILL MY UNITS. When a squad of mine is down half strength I purposely suicide them in so I can call them back in for full strength. If my opponent doesn’t kill the unit though I can’t bring them back so remember that might not be a bad strat if you wanna deny a reinforce. Finally, I hate to say it but you need tank killers. It honestly depends on the army but meta kids will run majority tank or vehicle armies and will destroy you. Order of concern for units should generally be 1. Tanks/indirect fire vehicles/guns 2. Kasrkin, bullgryns, catachan 3. Literally anything else. Also if you noticed a character or command squad isn’t attatched, try to kill it. Without orders guard can start to get curb stomped. Deny the ability to give orders. You deny guard necessities. Most vehicles are hitting on 4+ or 5+. Same with infantry. That’s without any shenanigans too. Orders can get those down to 3+ or 4+. Deny the order. That’s also why leaving a unit at below half is much smarter. If you battleshock them instead of wiping them out, they still can’t receive orders and become useless.

Well, this is disappointing. I finally got to a point where I can play again and finished 60 Mordian iron guard I've had in a pile. Looks like they're no longer an avaliable option and even if I did run them no one uses guardsmen much. Looks like mostly ogres, new characters from Cadia (I thought that planet got destroyed?), and assorted artillery with a smattering of heavy infantry and tanks. I will probably not be assembling the rest for a while.

Allowing named heroes in tournaments as standard is easily the worst thing GW have ever done. Yes yes, they're nice and all - but this video proves exactly why they ruin the game.

Thank you for always updating content. However in WARHAMMER NEWS: DO NOT SUPPORT GW this year as much as possible. Resist any woke agenda on the game we cherish just as Helldivers 2 has done, it’s just a game let’s not make it political. No need to retcon years and years of lore.

Nah Ill still buy GWs been "woke" since the Lion was created. Nothings happened that hasnt happened before, even the preaching is almost the same tbh. Guard dont care who or what you are long as your human, an you fight and die in the Emperors name. 🫡

How does the Kasrkin unit order itself if they are not on the board? Doesn't all abilities on a unit require it to be on the board to be able to use?
@wyatttyson7737
@wyatttyson7737 8 ай бұрын
Their self orders don’t have a range, and only abilities that have ranges or specifically state “on the table” can’t be used in reserve.

The 'warrior elite' ability on their data sheet that gives them an order, units can use abilities in (totally real place) Strategic reserves, but not in a transport, (an actual void). It's something something in the rules commentry... trust me bro. hehe
