Space Marines Gladius Example Competitive List

[@Bumbaclart247]

Defo need the list on screen

[@MrSfxer]

like why wouldn't they do this

[@VT_Jord]

we have them in the descriptions of the masterclass videos but we are going to go back and add them to the videos themselves and we have added the list to the description on this KZbin video, thank you for the feedback guys 😁

[@AtamoskTPK]

I signed up for the master class and I have to say it is so helpful for understanding the power of the detachements and also some crazy movement and tactics. I cant wait to play some games with my new knowledge. plus I have found new fun ways to play my army.

[@shinychameleon4558]

Is this a powerful ultra marine army?

[@shinychameleon4558]

I ask cause im making a army of them lol

[@noisepollution42]

@@shinychameleon4558 It is still quite balanced even after the December patch but fire discipline was nerfed which impacts the aggressors. Additionally the points for lot of choices here went up, at a glance I don't think this fits in 2000 points anymore even dropping fire discipline.

[@lordwolkenstein9339]

Aggressors got the wrong loadout

[@christophermatthews5775]

Interesting list and it can definitely do some damage. The first glaring weakness that popped into my head was the meta BA and space wolves that can blitz you with units quite easily and tie up all your units (especially the space wolves in stormlance with the max number of thunderwolves). I know its easy to knick pick a list in this fashion but with those two armies having such a high win rate, I have to think the matchup versus those would need to be considered in order for the list to be competitive.

[@Dram1984]

As an old man who played the most in 2e I will never not be amazed at how much bigger armies have gotten.

[@paulbridge6063]

Would love to see a new and updated veiw on this list Now with the Fire discipline all but gone

[@williamsopko7019]

Could you explain the reasoning behind taking the centurions? Im new to space marines and they seem like an odd choice so id like a better understanding of what role they serve and why they're better than other units in the same category. I appreciate all the work you do!

[@GrngoMandngogaming]

This whole free serious is perfect! Is there anywhere where we could see/get ideas on other chapter gladius list(white scars, iron hands, etc.)?

[@UltraMeanMarines]

A couple of thoughts/additions to this. The Incursors in Impulsor is a GREAT combo with Phobos lieutenant and ensuring you have the Haywire mine to target large transports. It means you can scout the impulsor, move and advance, disembark, grenades and haywire mine for an average of 4 - 12 mortal wounds, shoot to make the transport +1 to hit, then move back into the impulsor, OR move closer to and wrap the transport for the fight phase. With the lance and sustained on their combat, it can quite easily chip the last few wounds of a transport if needed. It'd also be great to actually have this list shared on screen/on Paste bin for people to take a look at!

[@Bumbaclart247]

Interesting - you disembark, shoot and reembark same turn though?

[@UltraMeanMarines]

@@Bumbaclart247 It's a different phase. Absolutely legal.

[@Bumbaclart247]

@@UltraMeanMarines good to know 🫡

[@marwie2598]

How can you deal with monsters/vehicles? Only with this six centurions?

[@lambrosgeorgakopoulos8904]

Hey, in case you don't have a judiciar, what is the next best option? Is tigurius good for blade guard?

[@Rvdbarnes]

Do the assault intercessors benefit from the captains finest hour as well? Or is it just a way to ensure that he survives long enough to use it for himself?

[@martinhatch]

2:35 Stephen mentioned that you can take wounds on the Vitrix Honour Guard instead of the Aggressors.. Don't the core rules state that you CANNOT allocate wounds to a Leader until the attached unit is dead? The Vitrix Honour Guard are part of Calgar's data sheet, so wouldn't they be the Leader Unit .. you would HAVE to allocate all saves against the Aggressors first?

[@Ghislain82]

Can someone explain to me how you can assign wounds to Calgar's Honour Guard models first and not have to assign the wounds on the bodyguard Aggressors unit first? The rules seem to clearly say you must assign wounds to the bodyguard unit first, and the Honour Guard are part of Calgar's unit not the bodyguard unit.

[@aaronsymonds2516]

Just a quick question about the actual list... noticed very low armoured units (no dreads, big tanks or lancers). If you find yourself up against an army with heavy armour or several monsters, is this going to make life a little tough? Asking as I am building an Ultrmarines army now and have included a Redeemer and Balistus dread to carry buffed units into big fighs safely and the Balistus offers something to cover some firing lanes with better movement and could assist in back field against heavy deep strikers...

[@ahastwell]

Thanks guys

[@russstevens6536]

I’m missing something from that list, I make that 1750 points odd… AB, Calgar, Capt x 2, Judi, aggressors x 6, bladeguard x 6, impulsors x 2, asst interc x 2, jump assault int x 2, scout x 2, cen dev x 6

[@DoctorDominoh]

Would this list be good against a tyranid with lots of monsters like 3 exocrine 1 tyranofex etc?

[@_Bayul]

09:34 Why did you upload it like this? That's not a good look for a 30$ monthly subscription - or $46 for a course individually.

[@_Bayul]

Will the rest of the Masterclass also not show the complete list on the screen? Why did you choose this tiny font size for the abilities?

[@VT_Jord]

We are adding the lists to the videos now upon feedback and have added the list in the description here, we can certainly look into the size of the graphics on the side of the screen too thank you for the feedback 😁

Can you make a firestorm/salamander detachment master class?

[@VanguardTactics]

we have a masterclass for each of the Space Marine detachments, this is just an example module we decided to publish for free, but we have one for each of the other detachments other than 1st company task force. The Firestorm module features a Salamanders list too

[@celerum]

What is the loadout you put on the scouts?

[@Klierowski]

They are for secondaries, not for shooting, put 1 heavy and 1 sniper and whatever u want

[@GarthIvers]

What unit to replace the centurions with? Repulsor executioner?

[@UltraMeanMarines]

I would recommend 6 Eradicators. You can then tech into horde or tank armies with the Fire Discipline Biologis going with Aggressors or Eradicators. Tbh, I'm really liking just the 6 Aggressors on their own in what is effectively an MSU meta. You can shoot activate and often take two small units out between the two weapons and then charge a third unit as more of an anti-elite option. With this list, you could then use the headroom to personalise a little more to your game style. OR, just take e second Biologis, swapping the Fire Discipline one to tech.

[@DoctorDominoh]

I like to put 6agressor + apothecary biologis fire discipline in the land raider redeemer, and 3 eradicator only in the repulsor executioneer + 5incursor and lieutenant phobos in impulsor to tag mob +1 hitroll and jump back in tje impulsor
