Know Thy Foe! How to Beat EVERY Faction in Warhammer 40K!

[@Motorcitynights]

Please do one in the style of the field manual. "The ork, though large, can easily be overpowered by the average human in hand to hand combat"

[@adeaphon9696]

On the space marines not killing you off of oath, that is generally true; lancers, ballistus and eradicators will still mess you up as they have inbuilt rerolls

[@XHobbiesPrime]

@@adeaphon9696 And all of those are good units.

[@ruslanburnashev1294]

My takeaways from this video. If you want to be prepared to play reliably against most of the armies you should take 2 dorns, 2 basilisks, 4-6 chimeras with inf, tough screen units. Personally I would add 2-3 scout sentinels to this list.

[@jordanbrown4779]

Your advice on world eaters worked! I listened to your livestream and play WE the other day. Just delayed Angron and deleted his support. At one point he even said Angron was over performing not realizing what I was doing. Losing a unit a turn was just fine for me! Haha

[@percymacdonald6657]

YESSSS!!!!! This is the video I've been waiting for. As a relatively new dad I get maybe one game a month often against an army I haven't played against before. Having a primer like this helps me get so much more out of my games, keep doing the Emperor's work!

[@Jon-t1z7z]

I share your struggle...and it is real!

[@hugomann6247]

Another new dad here on 1 game a month tops, this is one Mordian best vids! Have Chaos Knights on Sunday, this is a god send

[@brandonm9378]

No Deceptors detachment for CSM in the table? Guess Alpha Legion is flying under the radar. Lore accurate.

[@tajj7]

If Custodes are using Venatari they can rapid ingress two units a turn because Venatari can rapid ingress for free and the ability specifically states the rapid ingress strategem, which means they can do it with two units. So they could rapid ingress 6 Venatari and like 6 wardens with a blade champion, which then means next turn you have one unit moving 10" and then charging, and another unit that can pop their advance and charge, so they will advance and then charge.

[@JKo-jv7kf]

Me, an admech player: Oh this will be nice to see how the community sees us. Haha, we can still win now by no one knowing our rules!

[@gavinheintz7496]

Very true. As a new admech player who struggles to remember his own rules, my opponent never stands a chance!

[@caboose759]

Here's some free casual player advice for fighting Necrons. Not as a Guard player, but as a Necron player that deals with guard all the damn time. -Kill the Crypteks. Our Crypteks are the backbone of our armies because they give us lethality, durability and/or mobility in one package. You don't need to bring dedicated Snipers or anything just use the epic challenge stratagem. You may be saying, "But Necrons are so durable, my infantry can't fight a Necron Character." And you would normally be right but our Crypteks are surprisingly squishy on their own. Toughness 4, 4+ save and 4 wounds across the board can be killed relatively easily with just a powerfist or God forbid Marbo. The Chronomancer has an Invuln, and the Technomancer can get a 5+++ but that's about as bad as it gets for defenses. -C'tan are easier to kill with volume of fire than big dedicated firepower. This is because C'tan always have a 4+ Save, they half damage and can shrug any that go through on a 5+++. I can't tell you how many times my Nightbringer got decimated by two or three Chimeras in a single game because of all the Lethals I had to just hope and pray didn't peak through, despite laughing at all the battle cannons coming my way. The Void Dragon is a slight outlier only because of how dedicated it is to Anti-Vehicle and can heal outside of reanimation. You should be more careful against it but it's still doesn't like to deal with 40+ heavy Stubbers and Lasgun array shots.

[@CharlieALeigh]

As an Admech player . . . ): All I'd say is our army rule relies on being near battleline. Seperate or kill our battleline, we lose.

[@parko246]

Love this format dude. In addition maybe a real deep dive into deployments, faction specific rules and counters now that the rules are updated every 34 seconds it's easy to make mistakes.

[@prudentparatrooper385]

BT player here. We don't have a unit that can advance and charge. We have a character that provides advance and charge he's unique and is an auto include.

[@stephenryder3331]

GRIMALDUS!!!

[@jacobescalante7487]

Amazing. Just got home, and i get to watch this. Mordian doing the Lord's work. o7

[@krkngd-wn6xj]

I am primarily a GSC player, and yea, there is very few of us. Our vehicles are where the vast majority of firepower is, and they are fragile (for vehicles). Ridgerunners are the real linchpin piece of the army with their AP boost, if you can shoot them early (they don't come back through cult ambush) damage output is seriously hit. If they are playing anything other then Host of Ascension, screen out the deep striking units. (HoA will deepstrike 3 inches with a stratagem, you can't stop that realistically) GSC has very little in terms of anti armor, and demo charges are not what they used to be either. You can tank more from them with any armor than you think you can.

[@ProxyHammer1]

Well done sir! Excellent review!

[@jakejohnson9552]

I really enjoy these meta Mondays and the addition of how to handle the different factions. One thing that might be cool, would be to look at the top army/armies for the factions to talk about beating those specifically.

[@MegaSc0tty]

He forgot that if the custodes are packing venatari we can rapid ingress the entirety of them for 0cp as their rules state you can reuse rapid ingress even if you targeted another unit

[@markdorn8873]

Your assessment about facing Eldar is true. Sad, but true. We just can't handle the return firepower.

[@simonemastrovito6315]

Guardsmen vs tyranids: 'apes together strong"

[@EverydayEldrad]

Interesting video and quite unique. Although as for the space marine primer i would be very cautious. Yes they are vulnerable against guard profiles but the revers is also true. Guard lack invulns and marines have good high ap options. The oath comment might also be relevant for casual marine lists but most competitive players will run at least one eradicator unit which get rerolls on their own. All of a sudden you now might lose two vehicles before you even start adding in other units shooting/ combat. Guard infantry also hates marine incidental fire from storm bolters and grenade launchers

[@adamcarey6093]

56:09 for Necrons. Thanks for the advice on Hyoercrypt. Playing them this Friday.

[@craigevans9617]

I really like this version of the meta report. How do guard do "this" against all armies.

[@FnRenner]

This may seem like a dirty tactic but I am honest with my opponents. I'll warn them in their movement phase which one of their units is going to be my oath of moment target. I feel that OoM is pretty powerful against most armies and giving a little heads up seems fair.

[@loukasmaki]

Got my beaten by a friends Ad Mech army yesterday and came here looking for advice and what i hear is "Don't worry they're a nothing burger" my confidence took a hit 😂

[@felixmichael2904]

Magnus is a powerhouse, in one game against AdMech he alone killed over 1000points of the enemy army. You cant really ignore him, best thing to do is to keep him in close combat to prevent his shooting and doing mortal wounds as you saied. Mutalith Vortex Beast are really good because they double the range of every Ritual T-Sons have when the Psyker is in 6inches of the Beast. T-Sons loose quit quickly if you deny them the Cabal Points by killing the little Rubric Squads, in the Beginning T-Sons have great Alphastrike capability, during the Battle when more and more suqds die the firepower is really limited

[@WillPeterson]

regarding Eldar: you can still use phantasm on Wraithguard, but it's now d6" instead of 6". but wraithguard have been significantly nerfed in other ways since a year ago

[@minidingbat265]

[@Raising_Runelords]

RE: Deathguard, would taking Cadian Command Squads render their debuffs ineffective?

[@Krieg-Sergeant-Woody]

Yes, but not if they pick Rattlejoint Ague, since it modifies your save characteristic which is the only thing the Cadians can’t keep the same. So if you have 3 units with Cadian Command Squads attached to them, if they know what that unit does they’ll be more prone to pick Rattlejoint Ague.

[@joshuasutherland6692]

Yes.

[@antrodeldungeonmaster]

3 lines you mean 2 infantry to the front and tanks on the back?

[@beanspud88]

Thats 3 lines so yes.

[@saponinstuye8784]

Tau armies in 10th lack the volume of fire in most cases. Having high strength and twin linked on almost every weapon is fine, but if you only have 2 shots, you cannot hit enough targets to make those easy wound rolls count.

[@jameskurth3560]

My favorite evidence of this recently was having a 20 strong Kraig blob take center on the ritual and live through the whole game. My opponent had a squad of the anti-infantry crisis suits and a riptide with giant gatling spraying them down for 3 turns and occasionallyother stuff. Between cover, orders, and a Marshall's FNP at the end of the game 8 kriegers still stood there.

[@Hadthese]

Can a redemptor reduce 1 dmg attacks to 0??

[@beanspud88]

No. Thats not a thing. Only very specific abilites let you do that and its generally only 1 wound per turn/game kind of thing.

[@rodneygaul2227]

Reporting for duty , Sir o7 Is it just Hybred & Mech Inf . doing well ? How are straight leg Infantry mud sloggers w/ Arty doing ??

[@jameskurth3560]

Artillery got nerfed as it can only hit on 4+ and no longer has lethal hits to punch up usually. Infantry are fine themselves. Their stratagem support has largely been removed though. Foot infantry can still be fine. Just not alone. Their guns just don't have the range or impact against enemy armor everywhere.
