I feel bad for Jay being the type of guy who spends a heap of time on his models and making fun flavourful lists meanwhile having a friend who's a massive powergamer.

[@brandonvaughn7255]

We had a guy like that in my game group for years. He played multiple spammy annoying armies over that time until one day I flat out told him I hated his army and that every game I played with him was an act of charity. He actually seemed shocked by how much everyone disliked playing with him. We eventually solved it by having everyone refuse to play him if he didn't tone it down, but we'd allow him to go spam crazy once every few games so he could still get to do some of the stuff he liked.

[@AcornPlays]

The arc has been completed. Congratulations Jay, you'll always be the lovable underdog

[@euansmith3699]

Jay won?! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA! It is the end times, people! I wonder what enjoyment Shaun gets from running his list? It seems really unengaging. Maybe Jay could do a Shaun interview.

[@carsonglenn1389]

Guard rules kinda encourage a bit of a shooting line right now because of their army rule.

[@fetalmistake5624]

Also i think you guys need to reread a lot of the Rules. I think you misread the "Big Guns Never Tire" rule and also the Detachment rule for guard is lethal hits not rerolls. Also a big tip after hearing you guys's scores at the end of turn 4: Focus more on scoring instead of trying to kill his tanks. Take 3 Ripperswarms in Deepstrike to complete "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Investigate Signals" easily. Try to Play the primary mission well, because if by turn 3 your army is pretty much wiped but you scored like 80 Points there is no way he can catch up. If you keep laming him out like this we will eventually go towards a more balanced list.

[@Meako92]

Points dont matter if you’ve got no models left on the table..

[@maarten5856]

This only applies if you're playing Only War, the Leviathan mission rules specify the surviving player can finish up their turns after tabling@@Meako92

[@matthewharshany2015]

Btw you and Shaun have the rules wrong might want to look into it… guard gets lethal hits when stationary not reroll 1s thats from the scout sentinel

[@jaybowler3121]

Not to mention -1 to hit roll for indirect if not in line of sight Edit: changed + to -

[@benstaffordson7163]

@@jaybowler3121-1 to hit for indirect is countered by 'heavy' for staying still, so hitting on 4's. (+1, -1) Then you get ordered to shoot better, so hitting on 3's. +1 to WS, so hitting on 3's. Note that it's WS, not to-hit, so does stack. Then Expert Bombardiers gives +1 to hit with indirect. So +2, -1 -> total of +1. You're now hitting on 2's. With lethals for standing still. Then re-roll 1's from the scout sentinel. Then they stack fields of fire for +1 ap (for free - ursula creed) Or you can use the scout sentinel - on top of reroll 1's, it also ignored the penalty to hit from indirect fire. And the manticore rerolls all hits anyway, against anything with more than 5 models. So... guard really, really doesn't care about that -1 to hit.

[@Weighted-Earmuffs]

Not to mention you cant brinng more than 3 of a kind in 10th edition.

[@NickSlaten333]

I don't think I've ever clicked on one of your videos as quickly before! I saw you won and literally cheered!

[@Phlebas99]

Throwing things at tanks won't force the tanks to fall back, but it could give them the -1 from Big Guns Never Tire.

[@Lemon.Lime.69z]

The only way to fix tyrant guard is to fix the whole body guard mechanic being that they adopt the move characteristic of the model they’re protecting and once they’re dead u just save on the leaders save profile no dumb “well the units dead but the rest of these saves are on the dead units save characteristic” (edit: spelling)

[@Meako92]

Thats why you have to slow roll sometimes to avoid this

[@tiberiumnp8030]

You’re absolutely right about Tyrant Guard being useless with Hive Tyrant or Swarmlord, noticed that myself too. However they do make a pretty nice bodyguard for Neurotyrant.

The army rule for Guard is that they get auto wounds on 6s to hit because of Lethal Hits. How is he getting all of those rerolls?

[@SamFisk]

Maybe Jay misspoke? Or his friend made a mistake? Benefit of the doubt out of the way, I don't believe his friend has been playing fair, at all, and that might include getting rules like this completely wrong. Maybe some/all intentionally. Wonder if he's been doing reroll ones and lethal hits together. I don't wanna be that guy and accuse someone of cheating without evidence but Jay's too nice. Very least they should be coaching Jay on how to beat their army, or taking less skew to be more fun.

[@TheLordofMetroids]

Yeah I haven't been playing munch against Guard This edition, but hits on 2's rerolls 1 feels like way over tuned and I can't imagine that's the rules for guard when they are at 45% win rate.

[@keeganpatrick2051]

@@SamFisk It could just be a mistake of thinking lethal hits means rerolling 1s. There are a couple different weapons keywords in Kill Team that do things like that, which they also play. I'm not trying to accuse Sean of cheating, just curious how it's happening. I just started playing Guard and if there is something I'm missing I'd love to know so I can give it a try myself. I just havent seen anything for armywide rerolls.

[@notaninquisitor7274]

scout sentinels give rerolls of 1 against a unit it can see. If he has 3 units of them that means he can reroll 1's against 3 units.

[@QisforQadim]

40k Really needs to deemphasize first turn. The die roll is so important for that. And instead of doing something smart like making fire phased or simultaneous, they just advise, 'fill up the map with more terrain, lol!'

[@maxmagnus377]

While I agree that how turn sequencing works now does not make for very fun experiences sometimes, I don't think there are many good solutions to this. Someone will always get to shoot first, which has an inherent advantage. The GW terrain layouts do usually ensure that both players should have ample opportunity to consider a defensive deployment where you have to choose which of your pivotal units you may want to hide for at the very least the opponent's first turn, and which simply don't have space to hide in efficiently. Making more use of reserves could remedy this as well. Having a big tank roll in from a flank on turn 2 and miss the first turn of shooting isn't a disaster, and often even has many benefits, assuring lines of fire your opponent could not have covered if you had put it on the table turn 1. The one thing I personally wish they'd do, is make indirect fire stuff a lot cheaper, but MUCH less efficient. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a rule where artillery needs to "range" its guns for a turn before being able to shoot. Similarly to how turn 1 flyers would be horrendously unfun, I feel the biggest culprit of "turn 1 feelsbad" moments is by far indirect fire, cause there just is no possible defense against it. Flyers can only come in turn 2, so why would indirect get a possibly crippling free shot in on turn 1? I feel 40k has too many "moving parts" on the table to do anything like sequential actions. It works for smaller scale games like Killteam or Warcry, where the amount of "things" both players can field are at least vaguely similar. It's not uncommon for one player to choose to bring all of the biggest, shootiest, hittiest things and have 8 units in total, and the opponent choosing an MSU approach that can field upward of 16-20. I don't think you can sequence that in a similar way Killteam and Warcry do.

[@QisforQadim]

@@maxmagnus377 Legions Imperialis, Epic Space Marine, Squad Leader, Bolt Action all handled this really well with shared turns, alternating activations. The die roll was still moderately important since whomever got to go first got the first shot off in essence, but it was minimized and it also made it so you would still have a good game even in terrain where it wasn't completely filled up with LOS breaks. This was helped with order tokens that you only revealed after you gave orders to every unit. It created a much better feeling of a battle flow, in 40k you are passive about 45% of the time. But having the quick back and forth of alternating activations kept you fully focused.

[@maxmagnus377]

@@QisforQadim I wonder how those systems handle asymmetry in possible activations then? Cause "fair" would be if everything got an activation in a round, so what happens when one side has 5 more things to activate?

[@QisforQadim]

@@maxmagnus377 It's different between each. Some have it so a person activates 1, then another activates 2. Another loads them all up at the end. Though also if one has fewer total detachments then they get an inherent bonus to initiative so the smaller force gets the more valued first activation, while the larger gets the wrap up.
