How to Build a Winning 40k List | 4 Pillars Of Army Design: Durability

[@zackariaswade]

So right off the bat, I'd say necrons are a close second to Death guard on durability when it comes to going second. As for trying to go first I think playing Flesh Tearers makes it difficult when you are on the back foot. The other issue I have is the identity crisis of my army at the moment I'm still converting to primaris.

Nice! If you'd like we can help you out on a free list building session. Here's the link to book it if you'd like: nightsatthegametable.youcanbook.me

Good advice here! It is sad that some of it seems to apply to certain armies, but enough applies to all that it is still useful to everyone. :)

[@NightsattheGameTable]

Thank you! What army were you looking for tips on?

[@daemonnexusknight]

@@NightsattheGameTable Nothing specific to me, as I play Wolves, Emperor's Children, and Slaanesh Daemons. Transports and tougher units (though I hate Primaris) apply to the former 2, and trying to hide units helps for the latter. Summoning could help as well, but it can be wonky and unreliable as it works right now.

Do yall think drop pods haven't returned to meta because deep strike denail is just alot more powerful now?

Facts!

These subtitles are completely scuffed. Might want to consider re-uploading to fix that. They look like they're auto-generated.

[@NightsattheGameTable]

Thanks for the update, where specifically are you seeing errors in the subtitles?

[@BionicDirector117]

@@NightsattheGameTable There's errors throughout all four of the pillars videos. It would take a while to compile all the errors

[@timtaylor1327]

eradicators are range 24 not 30 vehicles dont get cover and impulsors only get a 5++, double check stuff guys i was enjoying the series but easy mistakes take me out of it because i may be missing other things you got wrong

[@NightsattheGameTable]

the 30" range comes from the 6" movement and 24" weapon range. We call that effective range. Vehicles DO get dense cover benefits

@@NightsattheGameTable I believe Eradicators have a 5” move since they’re Gravis Armor. You could Advance them if carrying the Assault variant but then you lose efficiency. Also, there’s a designer’s note at the start of the Terrain Traits section where they say that Dense Cover does trigger if things behind them even if they don’t get the benefits of cover but it’s a -1 to hit with ranged weapons. When it comes to getting a +1 save against shooting, that’s Light Cover and it’s only for Infantry or Swarms. Often a terrain piece will have both but Dense Cover = -1 to any target behind it, and Light Cover = +1 save to Infantry/Swarms It can get confusing and it doesn’t really diminish the point you’re trying to get across. Overall, however, I am loving the presentation, the energy, and how you guys concisely explain what it means to build a good army list. Keep it up as we improve on playing this awesome game together!
