Top 5 Space Marines Anti-Infantry Units COMBOS | Warhammer 40K tactics

[@StorytellerCharm]

I’ll never get tired of seeing a new VF Miniatures video on my feed.

[@vfminiatures]

Thank you so much my friend 💪💪💪

[@cetx]

Great timing. I just bought the Space Marines codex last week. Great overview, thank you!

[@vfminiatures]

Thanks, glad to help out my friend! Don’t forget that you can get an SM list from me through your patreon subscription 😉

[@Grimmlocked]

Bro I just found 6 bolter inceptors in on sprue from dark imperium box sets a couple days ago AND have already been playing vanguard marines. Excited to give them a chance.

[@vfminiatures]

Either it’s Tzeentch or you got extremely lucky! Either way you’ll have fun😄

[@Grimmlocked]

@ yeah dropped out after 8th and just got back into the game. I really like where the game is right now 🤘

[@vfminiatures]

@Grimmlocked welcome back my friend! Good to have you with us💪

[@ElGordoBandito]

The Calgar Aggressor Bomb is so cool. It’s both the hammer and the anvil of your army.

[@vaclavzunt6835]

Bolter Inceptors can also be pretty interesting in Firestorm Assault detachment. +1 to strenght is something they really like and there is +1 to wound stratagem with 6" condition. They can drop within this zone and deliver their attack with both benefits 🙂.

[@tyhar7493]

My aggressor brick is my main strikeforce, it deletes anything I point it at then deletes the thing next to it when charaged. Calgars bodyguard can give you some needed protection for the unit. Still I usually keep it tucked and hidden for the first turn to allow my opponent to get closer, with advance shoot and charge it moves quick up the board when it needs too.

[@vfminiatures]

@@tyhar7493 yeah, it’s simply amazing! Good point on keeping it hidden still, despite some resilience it has

[@jakubpiotrovski6215]

Repulsor executioner with it's volume of fire: „ am I a joke to you?"

[@xeticus5435]

I like the Executioner in Anvil Siege Force. Battle Drill Recall gives all of those weapons Sustained Hits 1. And if it did not move then it gets crits on 5. That is a LOT of shots.

[@jakubpiotrovski6215]

@xeticus5435 I like him in the vanguard spearhead. It helps him survive a bit longer

[@HDR1106]

One things that’s good with aggressors with flamers and calgar, but you would need to use immolation protocols so that means twin linked flamers that are d6+6 shots that you can fish for devs so you could get 42 dev wounds if everything is a six, then calgar gives advance and charge so they all have twin linked power fists to, I sometime deep strike them with urial Ventris ability

[@smudge5]

Mercy is weakness is 2 CP dude... detachment took a big nerf with that.

[@vfminiatures]

@@smudge5 correct, I was looking at the codex and forgot the faq, thx

[@Bob_Scott]

Marneas or Azrael can fix that issue easily

[@DuelTubeChannel]

So gw managed to ruin even this last functional detachment left? Kudos to them I guess

[@McVilla1N]

Putting together a black templar army. Much appreciated!

[@vfminiatures]

Most welcome 💪💪💪

[@ghost9pm407]

Thanks for this. Great video as always. Honorable mention for the Vanguard is the Devastator Centurions. Having Blast on all of their missile launchers in a brick of 6 really means you can kill just about any target between the missiles and lascannons. I wish that Hellblasters could come down in price just a bit so that they could accomplish the same role. Punch up with lethals from an LT/overcharge into heavy targets and use standard profile into normal infantry. They're just a bit too expensive right now to justify doing that.

[@DuelTubeChannel]

Hellblaster are kinda meh, damage 1 unless you overcharge...

[@ghost9pm407]

@DuelTubeChannel I agree. I wish they weren't because I love the models. I also don't take them or the plasma Inceptors because I roll atrociously for my hazardous tests and usually kill more of my own models than what I'm targeting.

[@vfminiatures]

Thank you! Yes, cents are also very good, but terribly expensive and require mobility in the list/detachment to work. Hellblasters really shouldn’t cost more per 10 than Erads for 6, then we can talk. Probably should be less. They actually had the same issue throughout 8th, 9th, and 10th. GW always kept them in a Meh level for some reason I don’t understand.

[@DuelTubeChannel]

@vfminiatures neither do they

[@ghost9pm407]

@@vfminiatures I think the reason is that GW thinks shoot on death is better than it really is. Most of the time it's just an annoyance rather than an actual threat.

[@n0rst4thew1cked3]

Running two 10x squads of infernus, one with a captain, absolutely slaps. Played a game against Necrons and they absolutely were holding down the... Ctan nightbringer? That second overwatch for free really makes them take a second thought. Plus the battle shock on hit is nice. My personal favorite anti infantry though is rolling 75 chain sword attacks plus 12 power fists from a 20 man Primaris Crusader Squad, re rolling hits with Grimaldus and giving them either lethals or sustained with vow 😂. My friends I play with absolutely despise them

[@eaglesridge7896]

Reminder that OverWatch can only be used once per phase, and with the new ruling this is still true with using the captain's free stratagem. Assuming one is on move one is on charge you're good, but yeah infurnus are absolutely killing it

[@vfminiatures]

@eaglesridge7896 once per turn even

[@eaglesridge7896]

@@vfminiatures totally forgot overwatch has a specifier! Good call

[@Naddabeht]

I feel like others are down on Aggressors. My six pack with Calgar took down Hellblasters (victrix absorded Hellblasters shot back) and Azreal, dropped the lion, then deathwing knights, and Calgar was sole survivor of second pack of terminators. Great duel threat range and melee. Hope to expand my. Collection with reaper and Inceptors next year. Thanks for video

[@solid3793]

wow i already started the meta aggressor few days back

[@Djones0125]

Sternguard with a Librarian in Anvil detachment. Combi weapons hit on 4+, now become 3+ if you don't move. Devastating wounds on 4+ against infantry. Or you use their rifles and now you get +1 to hit and wound if you don't move. Librarian gives then a 4+ FNP vs psyker attacks and a 4+ invulnerable save. It's going to take a lot to kill them.

[@StaticSilence1]

Reaper tank in Gladius, in Dev Doctrine, and Storm of Fire strat also wrecks. 1AP and ignores cover.

[@edgarsanchez9734]

10 man plasma squad with a lieutenant plus Fire discipline granted deep strike by uriel is a squad atomizer.

[@mathiasschulze6148]

If you play Dark Angels and you want to kill Marines or light Infantry I highly recommend a Ravenwing command Squad with 3 Ravenwing Black knights. They have 12" movement, Hellblaster Firepower, strong AP-2 melee attacks and 3-4 wounds with T5, 3+/5++, 3OC and one apothecary. Very hard to kill for a normal Infantry unit and with the speed they often get the alpha strike. I just tested them for fun, now I love them and play them in many lists.

[@vfminiatures]

Iove black knights - I’m waiting for a resculpt on them

[@mathiasschulze6148]

@vfminiatures yeah...but I'm afraid then we will lose the command Squad like the Deathwing did. Man the Terminator command squad and the Strike master would push the Terminators over the edge. But yeah I am thrilled to see the new Ravenwing.

[@mereal250]

Listing all my friends armies in the beginning of the video lol.

[@RSBurgener]

I've been told the Predator Destructor is really awesome. I don't have one, and buying a Firstborn vehicle seems like a potentially bad investment at this point. I guess the Reaper is the current version.

[@mathiasschulze6148]

Don't forget the plunging fire rule. at least on some terrain you can get -1 AP with the Inceptors.

[@vfminiatures]

Yeah, I just always end up playing on terrain with no second floor so I stopped hoping for it😂

[@mathiasschulze6148]

@vfminiatures I think you need to be in the 3rd floor to make I work, so a tower or something.

[@RFischer]

How about an Astra Militarum Punisher with take aim order couple with 3 Heavy Bolters? And Heavy stubber. Maybe after the infantry have been marked by Scout Sentinel so you can reroll ones.

[@vfminiatures]

That’s for sure, but we are in marine land here - no fancy militarum tanks here

[@RFischer]

@@vfminiatures Oops. Missed that point.

[@yenetheu]

For the Aggressors and Biologist combo - Fire Discipline in Devastator doctrinE let you reroll advance rolls - wheres info about crits on 5? Or I get something wrong?

[@vfminiatures]

It’s an old iteration of the enhancement, it has been nerfed in the last Balance Dataslate

[@OnlyabcS]

Do you have a 1k Death Guard list ideas vid?

[@vfminiatures]

No, but I have a How to play video for death guard🤗

[@mattiacoletto9552]

What about Calgar + Aggressors (3) + Biologis on the Impulsor?

[@vfminiatures]

It’s essentially the same idea as the aggressors brick, just with Calgar for mobility. You can’t fit that unit into a transport though, needs 18 seats.

[@mattiacoletto9552]

@@vfminiatures sorry I meant Repulsor! ^_^

[@vfminiatures]

That’s how I interpreted it. But still won’t fit🤗

[@DaveMDuck]

mercy is weakness 2 CP now, because june Errata came out

[@xeticus5435]

10 Combi Weapon Sternguard with Devastating Wounds and Rerolls 1 to wound on Oath target. I shred Custodes with them. Put them with Azrael and give them Sustained Hits 1 and an 4+ Invulnerable save. If you want to be really obnoxious give them an Apothecary. And you have this big, nasty, anti infantry brick.

[@vfminiatures]

My problem with Sternguard is that if you do the math 10 Sternguard w/ 2 HB with Oath, RR1s to wound and Sustained Hits 1 in Rapid Fire (so within 12” of said Custodes) will kill exactly 2 custodians. 6 damage. That’s it. (Custodes were in cover for the sake of fairness). In return I’d bet my money that remaining 3-4 Custodes are quite likely to wipe the unit, probably Az included. So Sternguard remain an extremely cool and appealing unit in terms of idea and esthetic (I really-really like them) but are not something I’d put into “best combos” category tbh 🤗

[@tyhar7493]

Sternguard are some of my favourite models in my collection. But I usually run them with a luitenant and there standard rifles. If your using DA and Azreal then sustained and lethal maybe better cause you can fish for them and punch up with the unit.

[@xeticus5435]

@@vfminiatures I have played them twice against Custodes and did quite a bit better than that but I was using the Combi Weapons. And yes the Custodes will murder them back. I elarned that the first game. 2nd game I screened for them and they murdered 2 squads of Custodes over a couple of turns.

[@LordNerfherder]

Poeple usually bring anti monster/tank thinking this is why they lose. What scores is mostly lone ops/infantry.
