So I took Leman Russ Vanquisher Spam to a Shark Tank! | After Action Report | Warhammer 40,000

[@thomaslillibridge9854]

My favorite part of the video is when he said "IT'S VANQUIN TIME!" and then he Vanqued all over the place.

[@jules9094]

I reported him for getting his Vanq out all over the place

[@JeromeSkavenSlayer]

He's become such a Vanquer.

Having your Commissar BLAM! themselves certainly is one way to improve the morale of those under his command.

[@Knaldmigprinsesse]

"The third mortar team goes ballistic!" I should hope so. The first two mortar teams need a good talking to from the commissar's bolt pistol if they were doing direct fire shenanigans.

[@colonelsanders82]

It has occurred to me that one Vanquisher and one Hellhound cost the same as one Rogal Dorn.

[@MilBard]

The Commissar was clutch with battle shock/reinforcement and so was cadian sticky objective. Very nice.👍

[@TheJohnHOB]

Love the clutch tank charge. I’m actually taking Guard lessons and applying them to my Mechanized Guard. Err, Custodian Guard. In Landraiders.

[@s.h-d6074]

Congrats man!

[@markdorn8873]

Glorious victory for his Imperial Guard!

[@3rdguru]

10 minutes 40 those objective markers are beautiful

[@rileyernst9086]

I really like that turret from Nefyma, the 17pdr toting Gothic centurion/comet turret(Gothic British engineering is basically the best asthetic possible in my humble opinion). I would recommend slapping it on a Grim Prints Churchill chassis for a Black Prince style Malcador. Looks minted.

[@Wind-Whistler]

The Commissar’s ability can only be used at the start of a phase. So in game 2 you would have needed to wait until movement to use it, and could not have used Reinforcements on Creed’s unit.

[@dustinhaus1165]

The Cadians with the Cadian command squad can be really nice against armies with a lot of modifiers like death guard. The 2x specials are nice too. but no plasma pistol. Vanquishers can be really nice. When you need the punch, you get the punch. I have a commander and an exterminator that I almost always take. Commander usually has a demolisher, but sometimes has a vanquisher. Take aim is nice when you have one shot

[@adeaphon9696]

Tomb blades aren't always -1 to hit, they just have stealth. Their rule is fire and fade

[@justdan8575]

Starting to think of punishers in a similar ilk given they are only 5 points more than vanquishers. Especially given the horde meta of 10th at the moment. It's starting to feel like they might be able to do a job now with dev wounds on the main gun. Great to see guard near the top of the table. I turned up with a Doomhammer full of heavy weapons squads with las cannons at the same tournament. 100% one of the meme lists, but it was lots of fun.

[@Target008]

This is why I love the Necron Lokhust Heavy Destroyers. Yes they only get 1 shot from their big gun but when it goes through it kills and makes a huge impact. 3 LHD cost about the same as a Vanq. But a Vanq is much more durable.

[@wyoguy9720]

What sort of lists did the top 3 players run? Great video. Astra Militarum are so flexible in play style… might start a guard army haha

[@rickydasilva6799]

Playing this list currently, lots of fun. 2xDemotank comander with plasma, lascannon, one with grand Strategist. Scion command squad Warlord. Stracken 2x 10 catachan with flamer. 5x 5 scion with melta plasma 6x chimera double flamer 2x hellhound with flamers 3x vanquisers lascannon plasma.

[@sirath35]

You are mistaken here - 1:01:42 You have to wait until the start of the next phase for Summary Execution.

[@ronanobrien88]

Played 2 vanquisher yesterday. Decided to shoot the first cannon. Rolled a 1 to hit, rerolled with scout sentinel ability for a hit. Rolled 1 to wound, rerolled a 1 with command reroll.

[@Booker8991]

Yeah, this shit is why I didn't rank them very highly before the pts reduction. Statistically they're meant to hit and wound, but in reality, fate causes these unlucky dice rolls lol

[@bendrabik7908]

They get automatic rerolls on wounds. Didn't need to spend a CP

Aww.... that doesnt feel very spammy ^^

[@bweezybeech]

Doesn't the commissar blam a guy at the start of any phase? So you would of had to do it in the movement phase, meaning you couldn't of done it twice?

[@kirklandchappers]

It says once per battle round at the start of the ability 😢

[@Wind-Whistler]

@@kirklandchappers Yes, but it then continues with, “at the start of any phase.”

[@kirklandchappers]

@@Wind-Whistler which means you can activate it at the start of any phase, but only once per battle round, so you could do it at the start of movement OR at the start of command for example, but not both because that would be more than once per battle round

[@Wind-Whistler]

@@kirklandchappers Yes, but in the example in question, Mordian was already in the middle of his command phase when the Catachan unit failed battleshock. He could only remove the battleshock at the start of movement, which means he would not have been able to use Reinforcements on Creed’s unit.

[@kirklandchappers]

@@Wind-Whistler ah I see what you’re saying now! Yes I totally agree with that, though tbh the original comment doesn’t look like it was making that point 😂 but yes you seem 100% right

[@tomtombinks1830]

How do cyclops do objectives? I thought they needed the ability to shoot in order to do certain actions

[@craigkenny37]

Page 6 in the Rules Commentary document covers this. Essentially so long as they haven’t advanced, fallen back, and are not locked in combat then they can still do an action even if they don’t have a ranged weapon.

Hang on? You can use the reinforcement strat on a battleshocked unit? It’s dead isn’t it?

[@Connor-wt4er]

Generally if a unit is battleshocked and then killed then it can not reinforce. But if this is referring to the Commissar killing the battle shocked unit out of battle shock, it should work as it doesn't matter if the unit is destroyed or not, it is no longer battle shocked and therefore legal for Reinforcements.

This was a very enjoyable after action report to listen to, but it has not convinced me about these units. Each game seems to have had an event where something went unexpectedly wrong for the opponent immediately in a rather unlikely way. It is an interesting list, but I remain unconvinced that this is worth am endorsement. I would have to see at least a few more games first and watch what happens.

[@DeathKorpsOfWrath]

There are a few batreps where Mordian has success with the Vanquisher spam list in a few batreps that you may have not watched over the course of this month. And I have taken a vanquisher to a tournament a few times in which killed Angron in one turn with all of it's weapons. You don't just take the Vanquisher Leman Russ for the big weapon, it's weapons that comes with it are really good as well. o7 - Evan The Editor of the Mordian Glory Team
