Edit: The valkyrie is pretty handy if you can use a precision drop strategem with it. It allows scions to deploy a 5 in away, pretty good if you got four melta guns in a squad and you just want them to nuke something.

You missed +2 Command points bonus on Creed. Also Cadian regiment is one of the most flexible in game and has good stratagem for mass +1 to hit against 1 target. And Baneblade tanks with Revengeance for Cadia stratagem are quite useful for their price as large DDs and damage attractors while LRs doing their job.

I don't think you can do it like that. The laurels of command specify that they must be given to an officer, and since commissars don't count they can't take it. I think you can still achieve the same thing using the warlord trait master of command. This specifies that it can be given to commissars and they can then order any infantry regardless of regiment.

baneblades absolutely need to be bs3+ and have more wounds i think that both russ and baneblades should have a 5+ fnp (maybe call it rugged construction). maybe the baneblade should have a 4+ FNP, invuln saves dont really feel right for astra vehicles but FNP does. it makes you think of the shot just blowing a bit of armor off the thing and not actually doing any damage

That good a feel no pain is never going to happen since it seems like GW has a venomous hatred for any feel no pain under 6+. And we’re the guard we’re never going to get a good enough buff to make the Baneblade viable. Let’s face it we’re never going to have it as good as we did at the start of 8th edition. As they say “Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.” -C.S. Goto and us veteran Guard players know it all too well. All we can do is fix bayonets and continue into the meat grinder.

Here's my 2 cents for your list: - Basilisks: 7/10 rather than 8. Worse than both Leman Russ tanks and Manticores. Simply because Basilisks can't double fire. - Hydra: It's 110 points. Wahapedia is wrong. I wish it was 95 points it might actually be useful then. - Hellhounds: 7/10 rather than 8. Again, worse than Leman Russ tanks and aren't really worth it over duel heavy flamer Chimeras. - Taurox: That's a 5/10. It's as expensive a Chimera with duel heavy flamers and track guards. Has worse toughness, less transport capacity, and no lasgun arrays. - Master of Ordnance: 5/10. Smaller board sizes made his rerolls useless. He's only worth taking for the arty barrage, and after that he's got no purpose. - Platoon Commander: 8/10. I don't think you're giving them justice at all. They're well worth it. Especially if you're going to take 3 tank commanders, want some orders and somewhere to put Kurov's aquila. - Ratlings should be a 5/10. Too many points for a unit that can be wounded on 2+ with bolter fire. - Tech Priests 5/10. I think you’re way overvaluing the ability to repair.

Nice video! It must be hard to keep up with changes to points, rules or typical opponents in the meta. If you ever need to redo this and similar videos I suggest the following. Spend as little time as possible on choices that aren't good, and change the order. I'd start with the staple units you'd probably see in every list. Note these might include 7 and 8 graded units if they are the best at what they do. Then list solid options per type of role. For instance compare astropath with primaris or with leaving out psykers. These choices are probably worth more time spending on than the best units (no-brainers) or situational units. Briefly list all subpar units (6 and lower?) that need a change or point drop to be competitive. (include here so you don't end on a low). Then list all situational units one might include for a certain synergy and those limited to a particular regiment. This could also include kinda subpar units (6-7) that you still need to deal with certain things guard often struggles with.

I run a vanguard detachment with a squad of 10 crusaders, a ministorum priest in support, all with a primaris psyker equipped with the deathmask relic and psychic barrier to add extra staying power to the crusaders and himself. Then i toss them all in a valkyrie and they make a super fun and fluffy holy strike for dunking on marines. A squad of ten crusaders saving on 2s with a 4+ invul and 30 attacks are alot of fun and can catch people off guard for sure

Harker is worth his weight in gold in my tank army. I castle him next to an executioner tank commander (he strike and shrouds turn 1 to have a little more survivability), 2 Manticores and a squad of mortars. The flexibility with this castle is just fantastic and the vehicle portion of it is still mobile enough since Harker can advance, give off his aura, AND still shoot with Payback. So a Manticore with LOS on a target after moving basically becomes a tank commander with the use of Direct Onslaught to have BS3, rerolling 1s. Better than Yarrick by a mile simply because of his cost. I'd like Yarrick to be able to have all of my tank commanders to strike and shroud on turn 1, but his cost is just vastly prohibitive. Though with Orks on the rise he might be worth it

I really, really, really miss the "Combined Squads" rule. That would make Infantry Squads so much more fun and flexible. That and the old Platoon Organization, when you could take a bit of each unit type within a single unit slot. Also, I wish that they would just remove the negative modifier to Hydra tanks firing at ground targets. A weapon designed to track and hit some of the fastest moving air targets is just *not* going to have any issue if you lower the barrels to a flat trajectory.

In all of wh40k history that I know of, IG was meta army only once for brief period in 5th ed, when it was carried on shoulders ( or rather, on wings ) of turbo-busted vendetta gunship.

Krieg + Sisters is a pretty strong meta army at the moment. IG + Knight ally was a meta army for all of 8e until the Castellan nerf. IG was one of the few anti-Eldar picks in 7e.

I think hws should have 3+ BS while the loader is present. Makes the loader make sense (why's he just pointing? What's their job?) And makes your hws shoot the same on the move when cooked into an infantry squad. Then also a bit extra damage when camped out.

Another strength of the Basilisk and that is, AGGRESIVE BASILISK PLAYS. Charging a basilisk in as last resort can deal some good damage with a heavy weapon and storm bolter or heavy stubber and I have cleared out a 10 man tac squad in one turn with this play and the speed allows it to do that

A bit of criticism of the graphical/visual kind I absolutely love your videos and consume them a lot but there is so much WHITE on the screen which is quite tough to look at all the time. Toning the background color of your excellent videos down to a light grey or a less bright color that is more pleasant to look at could be a good idea Big fan! Cheers from Germany!

I love the Wyvern. It’s basically a squad of tactical marines in a box with longer range, wound rerolls and no need for line of sight. Only real downside is it has no obsec, but you have other units for that.

Question: in the video you mentioned that krieg death riders can accept orders. From reading the orders rule in the codex, orders can only be given to infantry not cavalry. The death riders do not have the infantry key word. Is there a rule, i am missing? Other sources confirm that death riders can't get orders.

Question: I am fairly new to all this. I keep hearing about the "rule of 3" and as best as I can understand it states that you can only have 3 identical datasheets in your armor list. Does this mean only 3 veterans squads or 3 verteran squads with the same load out? If the former is true then it is a cap on the type of unit. If the latter is true then I can have 6 (2 setd of 3) veteran squads with different load outs (one set with meltaguns and the other with plasma guns). Which interpretation is correct?

@@damienparoski2033 Leman Russes can be fielded as squadrons of 3. So that's 3 squads of 3 Leman Russes + 3 Tank Commanders for a total of 12. Also worth noting the rule doesn't apply to Troops choices (you can have as many as you have slots in detachments) or dedicated transports
