Finally, a visual example of how to screen. Seen so many people talking about screening but never actually showing it.

Screening can also be use to deny the deployment capability of deep striking units.

Ahh yes, the screen, the brick wall and the deterant. Nothing quite like it in my opinion. You sir have proved that tactics confound the opponant, while points win games. 😊

this was great... especially the parts where you described how you can screen with one or more units to maintain objective control with the rear unit.... but you only really covered that from the point of view of a shooting army... how does it work from a melee armys perspective... I play orks and always just seem to get deleted off of objectives every turn.

All of this also applies - albeit in reverse - to melee players. Flying units are the obvious solution to forward screens. For walls, a good trick is Tank Shock or similar charge-phase damage abilities, which can be used to open a hole and allow another unit to slip through and tag the real target - most armies should have access to something along those lines. And for the last one, sacrificial units are the key - remember, Big Guns Never Tire only applies in the opponent's own shooting phase! If you toss a cheap expendable unit at them, they must either waste the overwatch on something which can't threaten them - or risk being unable to overwatch at all. Another option is a Linebreaker of some sort - a Carnifex doesn't give a fuck about overwatch, nor does a Dreadnought or a Daemon Prince.

Quick question that may come with staging or here with screening: how do I protect my valuable units from Tau? It feels they have the range and firepower to just avoid engaging the screening unt.

How would you recommend more elite armies go about screening? Does the “space marine equivalent” defensive profile lend itself more to a brick wall or more towards a cheap screen?
@Bumbaclart2472 ай бұрын
Scouts for us, or units that have fulfilled their purpose
@Josh-zd9pq2 ай бұрын
Unfortunately marines are tough enough to be expensive in points, but not enough to be a brick wall. Scouts would work for cheap speed bumps though

For us this would be scouts initially, or battleline models. A good anvil would be the Bladeguard Veterans, Heavy Intercessors or Terminators

Keep in mind barrels are part of the model. A vanquisher barrel is long and in the tier defense will likely poke out pretty far.

Wouldn't the guard unit in the 1st example of screening be out of unit coherency? Since it's a unit of more than 7 it would have to maintain 2" between 2 models?
