Warhammer 40000 Battlesector Multiplayer Match 176 Astra Militarum vs Necron

[@EvilKnivelGreg]

In my view, the Cadian shocktroopers need more attacks. Maybe like the tau firewarriors. You did good against necrons, your tanks did a lot of squad wipes.

[@theclassiestgamer8566]

I think they need a little armor piercing too. AP of 1 is just terrible bc you get some may grazes

[@Commitment_Endured]

I know you're still getting experience with the militarum, but would you recommend I get them or orks? Cos they're the only two I don't have now

[@thomasw4743]

Orks are pretty tough lol. They have very good synergy. But astra is really fun because having 15 range arty combined with very good tanks is a blast. People are ragging on astra but I've had a lot of fun playing them

[@theclassiestgamer8566]

I think it depends on your playstyle. Right now, there doesn't seem to be lots of different builds with the astra militarum. They will be very good against some factions and should not be brought against others (I can't see how to win with them against the Blood angels). They are mainly a mechanized army so if you like tanks and amor they are your guys. Orks are harder to use but have a lot more variability in builds so can be played against any faction. They tend to use more infantry heavy builds. I suspect you could probably get the ork DLC cheaper as it has been out longer. They are also better balanced because of that. Because of those factors I would lean towards the orks

@@thomasw4743People like myself don’t like them because as of right now there is really only one way to play them, and that’s pretty much using vehicles exclusively. Their infantry are just too weak to build a list around, in contrast to say Tyranids which actually can go for swarm builds.

[@andremoya6989]

Heavy Bolter attack on the demolisher tank is always slower for some reason I’m pretty sure it’s the only tank with that glitch

[@theclassiestgamer8566]

I hope that changes

[@Jaeger_89]

Cadian Shock Troops need a bit of tuning. I understand they aren't meant to be elite infantry but God they are weaker than freakin Goblins lol...

[@thomasw4743]

I use them as forward scouts for my armor and arty. They work very well for me.

[@theclassiestgamer8566]

I do think they need some tweaking. takes several to just kill a scarab swarm unless u use grenade

[@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289]

A large part of why Guardsmen are so anemic that gets glossed over is their poor accuracy. For reference, you need a Guardsmen squad without bayonets being buffed by a Castellan for them to have the same accuracy of Termagaunts. It’s so silly.

[@theclassiestgamer8566]

yeah, I wish the infantry got greater buffs with the officers to make an infantry build more viable. Could be interesting if the infantry battleline buffs did stack and vehicles didn't
