Should you Take LEADERS on Your Warhammer 40K Units? Rules Overview, Character Thoughts + Tactics

[@loopfruit2256]

Donˋt be silly! Every squad of Immortals needs an Overlord, Royal Warden, Scarab Swarms in the front for screening, a Canoptek Reanimator in the back, and two Monoliths for when you need backup infantry.

[@Donovaneagle2098]

I play Wolfspear, the stealthy Phobos focused Space Wolves successor. My list is based more on lore accuracy rather than efficiency, and so I run Vanguard Spearhead with a Space Wolves list. I know theyre not a popular pick, but I get a lot of use out of the Phobos librarian with a pack of Hounds of Morkai, and the execute and reseploy enhancement. Mobile, unable to be shot outside of 12 inches, and able to move shoot move with devastating wounds for some chip damage makes them a good pick for a list like that.

[@wyatttyson7737]

I’m a little surprised that it wasn’t mentioned as an example, but for Guard the only way to have a unit benefit from the army rule basically to have an attached character. Each non-epic hero officer has 1 order meaning they can give our army rule to 1 unit, while the on foot epic heroes can do 2 and the Lord Solar can do 3. However the Lord Solar usually requires doubling his points cost to get all 3 to usable ranges. Most of the time most of a Guard army doesn’t get the Army rule. Guard leaders are necessary but if you want every unit or even most units then half of your army list is leaders.

[@Jon-t1z7z]

I run one or two platoons of either Cadian shock troops or infantry with Veteran heavy weapons teams, add their respective Command squads, add in either a Castellan or Epic hero, AND then add in either an Ogryn bodyguard or Nork Deaddog. There is a lot to be said for combining buffs and having the ability to broadcast an order to an unattached unit at the same time.

[@giantnanomachine]

Guard also typically has quite a few units that aren't valuable enough to get ordered though. E.g. since the indirect fire nerfs, some artillery pieces benefit far less from Take Aim. Or a cheap home objective sitter, cheap "go to the corner and do an action, I don't care if you come back" squads, cheap "go contest that objective and die" squads to prevent scoring for one round. Plus some squads can order themselves; and ofc order or not, every unit always gets their detachment rule lethal hits. And a lot of the time the situation on the board would bnenefit more from an extra squad or tank somewhere than an extra character in one of them. I think I've never added leaders to more than 1/2 of my units in Guard. Typically I think I'm closer to ~1/4, so 80%/20% of entires in the list. All my regular and cadian infrantry squads typically don't get a leader, unless I build a big tarpit unit - but for that I usually want DKOK or Bullgryn instead. My Catachan also often go leaderless, if Iron Hand disappears with the codex release probably won't ever get a leader again. And I like some units that can't get leaders. Bullgryn, Hellhounds, Basilisks, Sentinels. To be more thematic I probably should at least finally paint my commissars and add them to the lines, but they are the old, slightly goofy looking ones XD

[@Jon-t1z7z]

@giantnanomachine I really wish Commissars weren't limited to the two orders they can give. Their abilities, plus regular orders, would make them auto-includes for me. As it is, I use Castellans more than Commissars now...and it just feels wrong.

[@giantnanomachine]

@@Jon-t1z7z yeah, I hope the codex gives them at least also move move move and first rank second rank. If they get the full range of orders I'd even still be happy if in exchange they lost their invuln and went from W3 to W2.

[@Ghouleh3133]

Another popular solo leader is the Thousand Sons Exalted Sorcerer on a Disc, who can zoom around the board, do objectives, and use its all-powerful Binding Tendrils ability to hand out -2 to Move and Charge to enemy units, which is often really powerful. I once kept an entire Nidzilla list at bay with just two of those slowing down their most valuable pieces.

[@Jason-wh7in]

I’m fond of running the Phobos lieutenant with incursors. Taking the haywire mine on them. They’ve got like 18in threat range, 24in with scout turn 1. They are good for buffing shooting accuracy and then can charge some stuff to tie up things and pop their mine for extra damage.

[@william9557]

I failed 3 mines in a row. Safe to say incursors aren't my thing

[@SorcerySpeedConcede]

5 nobz with a warboss is another great example of a unit that doesn't want to go max size. 10 with a warboss would be dramatic overkill for many targets, at least during the Waaagh turn, where 5 man squads are easier to hide and still deliver plenty of death without the extra bodies

[@LettersFromLynx]

Great guide! I think it would be improved by a section about multi model Leader units, such as Celestine. Their interactions with wound allocation and Precision seem to be very confusing for a lot of players.

[@chardensama]

He did mention that the minions are regular models and can be allocated damage without precision, is there anything else in question?

[@LettersFromLynx]

@chardensama Oh, I missed that. Thanks! I will have another look :-) Further example: Precision can target Celestine when she is part of an attached unit, but not when she is with only her two Geminae.

[@DeathInTheSnow]

Back when he still existed, the Exalted Champion was a great example of unit synergy. When backed with (already broken) Chosen, he not only enjoyed their extra speed, but because he added +1 to hit, their immense mêlée went to 2+, and their array of combi-weapons went from 50% to 66%. That's a huge improvement. But then GW said "NO! FUN IS BAD!", and put him in legends. Which is pretty much 10th in a nutshell.

[@Internetbutthurt]

Seconded. I didn’t know he went to legends but that makes sense.

[@fluiypj]

The Moe is better imo, chosen guns are great at shaving a wound from a vehicle or a model from a squad to trigger his melee rerolls, and he can generate CP and has much better individual melee

[@GaryP336]

Oh. Your one of them. ""Fun is bad" and then they took away and old model that didn't sell well that I liked" . I'm sure that's why they did it. Sigh

[@GwainSagaFanChannel]

Casual reminder you can still use that model just because it is in legends doesnt mean GW forbids you from playing it

[@JK-nf3ey]

I love the black Templar heroes, and I think I’ve done a decent job of making a 2K black Templar list that is fairly elite, but happens to use quite a few liters. Righteous Crusaders detachment has a few really good enhancements so some squads might be really expensive, but also extremely difficult to deal with. 10 store bread led by a Castellen and Helbrecht wounds automatically on five up. Grimaldus can lead a 20 man crusader brick, and a size let me of Hayes, he also will usually give five of feel no pain to everybody, or minus one AP when you are going on the offensive. Seeing as how the squad also gets to reroll advance and charge rolls, you can definitely take advantage of both those abilities. Emperor’s champion and five assault intercessors is not nearly as threatening as the two squads mentioned above, so they are actually pretty good at hunting down elite units or killing objective holders. You don’t even necessarily need to give him a vehicle to protect the champion considering he’s not nearly as threatening as everybody else and is likely to not be targeted. The assault intercessors also give him reroll on ones to wound. I still want to add a tech marine with brutalis and redemptor so the marine gains loan operative, and if one of the dreadnought dies, he becomes an absolute beast. A single squad of intercessors can hold the home objective with sticky and provide a little fire support in between home and midfield. A lieutenant with Combi weapon can be used for objectives and, holding a point, and since he is also loan operative, and there are much more threatening targets, he’s not so much in danger. At that point, jump, pack, intercessors, aggressors, or terminators can all be very useful. It just depends on what enhancements you want to run orwhich unit or two you want to drop. I feel like these units are strong enough and elite enough to charge into the enemy with your epic heroes and let low point cost units deal with objectives and hold your home plate.

[@lorenzkroh755]

a captain with power fist, honer vehement leading assault intercessors. when you pop his ability in the assault doctrine you get 10a at strength 10 dev wounds and potentially rerolling wounds. if you use his free strat you can even boost your ap by 1 and get lance on that combi to destroy most tanks by himself

[@isaacgraff8288]

Now I feel weird because I like having leaders in squads. Chaplain with assault intercessors to let them punch up a little Apothecary to help keep a squad of intercessors alive so they can shoot and take objectives Jump Captain with Jump intercessors to yeet a free grenade before chargine.

[@frostypineapple]

I like to run a castellan with my primaris crusader squad under the sustained hits melee detachment. Whole squad gets lethal shooting on 6s, and lethal and sustained hits in melee on 5+. And he lets them fall back and charge to reposition

I want to play a guard army : I believe it was possible to attach several characters to the same unit. Like attaching both lord solar and a command squad to give a vox to leontus.

[@Majere613]

Saint Celestine can do a pretty sneaky version of the hanger-on-tank trick. If she's leading a unit of Seraphim/ Zephyrim, you can take damage on her Geminae and make use of their 2+/4++. Then if they do die, you can still use her rule to bring one of them back again. Combined with cover and whatever the SoB version of Armour of Contempt is (because I can never remember the name) it can make what's usually a pretty fragile unit quite tough to dent.

[@PlasmaPea04]

Wraithblades/guard basically are required to have a spiritseer attached, lethal hits and revive is of course part of the reason, but most importantly unlike previous edditions where they hit on 3+ like most of the army they hit on +4 now normally. This unfortunately also includes the wraithlord.

[@giantnanomachine]

Rules as written, all attacks happen at the same time. So yes they’d still have 5+fnp. It wouldn’t matter if the opponent rolled the precision attack at the start or end, it happens all at once. If they argue, just tell them to finish all their attacks before allocating the wounds haha
