5 points cheaper than a kasrkin squad and gives you 2 orders, can't be shot further than 12 inches away. Can redeploy every turn to score tactical objectives and snipe characters. Not even mentioned stealth yet...

[@TimothyNiederriter]

That's a good comparison.

[@whitemiasma5288]

Would be incredible if GW would make Ghost's infantry! 30 inch lasgun range, ap on the straight silver! Oh how I long for the old 8th edition War Hymns..

[@javilo2797]

Literally the best redeploy unit in the game with mandrakes

[@iapetusmccool]

To be accurate to the books, the squad should include one or two other models with regular equipment and stats, and names you havent seen before, to soak up damage before you get to the main characters.

[@tunes1702]

Fething hell...

Accurate to the book, Gaunt is supposed to have a The Sword of Hieronymo Sondar….

Entirely reasonable for Lord Militant Gaunt to be able issue two orders.

[@VanDiemensLander]

One order as a Commissar and one as a Colonel

[@chrisstevens2944]

After data's late changes, you can now give orders after deploying from reserves

[@Badmagix23]

the thing i kinda hate about this unit, is every troop has a different weapon, and has to be rolled individually because of the unique rules/str/ap

[@jamesloder8652]

That's honestly the main reason I don't play it lol. It's annoying

[@rasspliffari]

hah you should try playing deathwatch lol, one kill team can have 7 different weapons

[@theblindbuildergrandminuti5648]

Legit, you can take them as the best back field support command. With the horrid first points update of 10th mortars and carriages actually better options for points, having the ghosts as un-targetable command support for counter batteries is pretty great.

[@rhysjones6944]

MVP for dropping in on a back line unit and wrecking havoc

[@ScoutSgtZaku]

Going to to be one of my primary units for my Tanith 1st / 8th Urdeshi Storm 2K lists. I can’t wait to use them on the table top!

[@Wasemir3]

How did you make them? Im planning on doing some Tanith conversions but have No idea how to do them. Please let me know! And the Urdeshi too! How cool!

[@ScoutSgtZaku]

@@Wasemir3 I have almost 200 kit bashed guard troopers using bits from Victoria Miniatures and GW bits mostly for my Ghosts. My Urdeshi are the standard GW guard models with the Urdeshi pattern puzzle camo! :3

[@CatharsisChaser]

Tons of insane utility in this squad, an auto include in any competitive list imho! Great versatility, very respectable firepower, quite tanky, and an insane redeploy that’s essential for mission play in 10th… all for 115 18:16 Only bummer is they cant benefit from fields of fire since they aren’t regiment, still amazing nonetheless Don’t have the new models but getting to break out my old metal last chancers to go on another daring mission has been a blast! Scope, Ox, Hero, Demolition Man, Shiv, and the Colonel himself proxy quite well as the A team of the imperial guard!

[@davidthomas2870]

If they bring back Tallarn and vostroyans as unique units, I really want them to be the las carbines and long las units respectively.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

I'm mildly surprised that they didn't get turned into a command squad option for a Tanith 1st and Only unit option, kinda like cadian command squads.

[@popburnsy3207]

Need a full Tanith kit.

[@Talondel]

I think something else that's being overlooked is the Fights First. I missed it on my first couple of readthroughs and it looks like most other folks did, too; not only are Ibram and the boys going to hit and wound T3 opponents for for probably a good 8 or 9 damage, some of it with Dev, Precision, or -1 AP...but they're going to do it BEFORE the fight really starts. Whether charging or being charged -- talk about an upside, when facing like v. like. Put them up against other Guard troopers or similar, and they'll really gut the enemy before any attacks come back their way.

[@erupendragon7376]

New conscript to the guard here. Collecting my first IG army. Would be great if you make a video on best Leman Russ, and Baneblade for 10th.

[@crusader2410]

Dude, you've read my mind! I was just writing up my first 2k list for a game next week and dropped Gaunt's Ghosts in there. I'm convinced that their free re-deploy will be a game winner with how the new missions reward you for being flexible!

[@brunodecastro499]

you helped me better understand how to use them haha, in the last tournament in the last match I understood their real function, I always played in front and saw them die, I put them at the end and used them as a drip to do a secondary mission. Functional perfectly. Now seeing that they can come back and attack, it's much cooler, you shoot and no one shoots you! haha, Well, I could make a video on how to use the sentinel scouts.

Finally, been waiting for this 👍👍

[@dekuthetechpriestoflondon6791]

Oh i have this one

[@benduston]

I want to do a full first and only army.

[@cwj138]

First and only is the first thing I ever bought from GW 25 years ago, it was all I could afford and the guy said it was new and a good story so I went for it and loved the story as a kid. Now as an adult I would struggle to justify buying a 6 man guard squad for more money than a Russ, it's insane. Might stick with the old metal Gaunt I have painted up.

[@Trickstick77]

The take cover order would improve the save characteristic of Gaunt to 3+, starting in the command phase of you or your enemy's turn. Then, the benefit of cover would improve the saving throw by 1. It works the same way as take aim and heavy. You would never get 2+ though, as you run into the "no cover against ap -" rule. Still, you get 3+ vs ap1.

[@matthewrummler1854]

I was thinking the same thing bout gaunts ghosts but figured I was missing something that would make them bad.

[@Nobleheart111]

37% chance for Larkin to one-shot a light character is nice, sure.

[@user-ww9ei1if1u]

Hi - I had a game on Monday. My opponent told me i could not improve my ballistics skills by more than 1+. I had a leeman russ with main battle cannon. Because he was standing still he can get a +1 on BS. If i give him a command - take aim from Lord Solar - does his BS improve by 1 to a 2+? or does it only improve by 1?

[@andyleeds4]

Hey. Being still ie heavy gives +1 hit, the order is improve BS by 1. Separate and stack. Another +1 to hit doesn't stack as max +1 to hit.

[@jessie-buns839]

Your friend is half right. Under most circumstances you can’t improve a roll by more than +1 However the order “Take Aim” doesn’t give you a +1 to hit, it gives a +1 to your BS. So essentially you are modifying two different statistics that happen to slide together to have the same stacking effect.

[@MordianGlory]

Take Aim and +1 to hit modifiers (such as a heavy weapon staying still) stack Take Aim improves the Datasheet +1 to hit improves the Dice Roll

I'm currently Eldar, but Guard will be my next army. Gaunt lost his chainsword really early. He should now have a power sword that causes devastating hits. Bragg died early as well.

What is the tier list of officers for a mixed guard army?

[@trixus4768]

I can't see a situation, where this unit is useless... It feels like an autoinclude. Sure, each of the Ghosts have his own unique weapon and it can be a pain in the ass to remember all the different numbers, but it's totally worth it.

[@kevincastrillon6675]

they should of added that psyker who knew when danger was coming.... but he got sent to the black ships... but now ya got milo who is a psyker and should be added as a adjacent. He can add ignore the first wound or something.

Chief! Please make a video about a noob friendly 1000point army idea! Like an extension of a Combat Patrol.would be awesome! Thanks! o7

[@Hadthese]

hits on 2, heavy and an order~ negates both a -1 to hit ability, and stealth. Larkin IS hitting on a 2

[@nationalsocialism3504]

Gaunt is severely underpowered only having a Bolt Pistol & Chainsword... instead of the Plasma Pistol & Artificer Powersword.

[@collegeoffoliage6776]

It's because of when in the story these models are taken from.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

entirely fair, but you're getting that on a unit with stealth and lone operative. You don't exactly live in fear of heavy bolters.

[@jamesloder8652]

There really isn't any benefit to having 2 orders on a unit that only has a 6" order range, I don't think

[@sirdanthechipwright821]

It's a bit niche for sure. But I like the possibility of Gaunt barking an order at a nearby Scion or Kasrkin squad

[@kdhlkjhdlk]

A second order that is a waste. Shooting that is a massive pain in the ass. I'd rather 2 squads of scions to do missions + objectives.

[@user-xs1tw5jx4o]

There is one thing I haven't heard in a video. When you redeploy Gaunt's ghosts with their Covert Ops rule, they still benefit from Born Soldiers. Cause they are bein redeployed and not deployed from reserves.
