Was great to see you there!!

[@GuardsmanHanan]

You too mate!

[@sludgedisciple]

I really appreciate that you discuss both your success and your failures. It makes for a more well rounded batch of advice and overview.

[@GuardsmanHanan]

Absolutely - I always think you learn more from 'defeats' than victories!

[@sludgedisciple]

@@GuardsmanHanan yes indeed. Guard are in a tough place. The index is pretty good but you can tell it's an index and lacks some of the flexibility the better codex's have. Well other than Ad Mech of course, that book is just trash

[@Tehquall]

Good job chief!

[@ASOIAF-Henrik]

Oh wow, tomorrow I will to go my first tournament and my list is very similar. Also with 3 vanquishers

[@GuardsmanHanan]

Nice good luck! Let me know how u go with the vanquishers. They may work for you!

​@@GuardsmanHanan I have almost finished my Tournament Guard (Astra) list. Started collecting it when my son was about 9 months old. Because that's when he actually started to sleep! After two years I am ready to step into the tournament scene. I have another son now at 6 months old, so progress on painting and collecting has been slow. Have you watched any of Mordian Glorys videos? I highly recommend them. Some really good tactics and combos in the there. The community on discord is very helpful too. I have played a few practice games, and this combo I think you will find much better for Straken. Straken+priest+ Catachans squad in a chimera (double Flamer). The chimera is tough and is excellent for zooming across the board turn one (advance). From turn two onwards, the occupant's have a 14 inch charge range. 3 inch disembark+6 inch move+ 3 inch Move, move,move (self orders after disembark). The minimum you can roll for charging is 2. So you have a 100% chance to charge a unit 14 inches away. This is a very large threat range from the middle of the board. The priest gives the unit sustained hits. So Straken now has lethals, sustained, AP3, full Rerolls to hit and wound. The trick is to Reroll all the dice which are not 6s on the charge. Even if they hit (2+), you roll them again fishing for 6s. Because that triggers sustained and lethals.

​@@GuardsmanHananI think my original post was too long. Let me know if you would like to see my list 😁

[@GuardsmanHanan]

Mordian Glory is a great source of info. He has Benn playing gyard consistently for years and knows the army really well. Straken and friends in a Chimera I'd a great combo. I love the disembark order MMM for the extra threat range which could tie up enemy units early. My only watch out is attached both straken and the Priest to a Catachan squad. I'm pretty sure you can only attach one 'leader' to a unit, not two? Also great work still hobbling with a young family, it's hard work!

[@MrSniperbo]

@@GuardsmanHanan All Guard battle line units can have two characters models attached. It's on the back of the unit data sheets, right at the bottom. Honestly, give that combo a spin. I found it to be a devastating punch to have in your back pocket. Chimera is fairly tough, if it does blow up, the 3 inch disembark is normally enough to get them into cover. Or behind a line of sight blocking pieces. Yeah with a family it's hard work! I try and get 30 mins hobbying a day. It's a slow process ☺️
